Cave Story, or Doukutsu Monogatari, is a Japanese freeware PC side-scrolling platformer game developed by StudioPixel. It has been translated into English by Aeon Genesis Translations and will have an official translation script published sometime in the near future.

Cave Story is really one of those games that can be considered a masterpiece of game design. There are so many wonderful and classic gaming elements, that I cannot even begin to describe just one quality well enough to say “It is for this one reason alone that Cave Story is a great game.” There is just so much effort, originality and ingenuity behind this game and it really shows more and more as you play through it.

Tyrian is an arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter. The story is set in 20,031 where you play as Trent Hawkins, a skilled fighter-pilot employed to fight Microsol and save the galaxy.

SVN builds are available on the forums for Windows and Mac OS X. Grab a copy of the Tyrian 2.1 data files (mirror), since they usually are not included with the SVN builds.

There are also console builds for the PSP, DS, GP2X, Gizmondo, GameCube, Amiga, Dreamcast, and Nokia Internet Tablets.

“Instead, you will have to fork out for an Instrument Edition at GBP 129.99 / EUR 169 – comprised of the drum kit, guitar and microphone – then buy the game separately for GBP 49.99 / EUR 69.99.

Anyone after the whole lot will be looking at a total of GBP 180 / EUR 240, then. That’s rather more than in the US, where you can buy the game and all the instruments for USD 169 – equivalent to around GBP 85 / EUR 107.”

Fakk me… what a rip off!
