You keep a wobbly unicycle upright and skewer mythical monsters with your lance on the way to glory. The deliberately clumsy controls are the source of both the challenge and the comedy.

Brings what grabs you about Balancelot: combat with precise timing, a pure single-player experience and gameplay over story.

An action-heavy indie platformer where you charge on horseback and send enemies flying with your lance. Ragdoll physics, destructible environments and over-the-top gore give it a goofy edge.

Risky Woods

Gameplay comes before story

You sidestep enemies with a dagger as you run through sideways-scrolling forests, timing precise jumps across rivers. Coins dropped by fallen foes fund your visits to the shop, but dying costs you most of them, so every risky detour counts.

Peasant Knight

Challenging difficulty

You are always running forward and have only jump and stop, while traps, enemies and hazards pile up ahead. That stripped-down control makes its demanding platforming puzzles feel tense and inventive.

Disney's Aladdin

Fantasy setting

A brisk 2D platformer based on the Disney film, where Aladdin leaps through Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders and the palace using thrown apples and sword swipes. Its charming film-inspired visuals and chase sequences make it a 16-bit-era classic.

Sir Lovelot

Easy to pick up

A humorous precision platformer where the hapless knight Sir Lovelot searches for true love, dodging hazards, collecting gifts and fighting odd creatures. Short levels and best-time chasing make for quick, replayable challenges.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Fantasy setting

A classic 8-bit Sega platformer where Alex Kidd punches his way across Aries, rides vehicles and settles boss fights with rock-paper-scissors duels. Charming yet fairly tough, and an important piece of Sega history.

Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?

Challenging difficulty

You guide an unlucky Prinny through absurd netherworlds, where 1000 units are your lifeline. Frantic side-scrolling combat, grabbing and hurling everything in sight, and sharp penguin-flavored humor make it stand out.
