Brings what grabs you about Duke Nukem II: jumping and platforming, a sci-fi setting as well as good gunplay.

A deliberately NES-style 8-bit run-and-gun platformer where you pick stages in any order, beat robot bosses and take their weapons. Tight controls and a demanding, old-school difficulty.

Kero Blaster

Action-packed real-time combat

A compact retro run-and-gun platformer from Cave Story creator Pixel, where you play a frog swapping weapons through short, punchy stages. Charming, lighthearted and approachable.

Explosionade

Action-packed real-time combat

A fast indie platform shooter where you pilot a mech and lob giant grenades to blow up aliens and their base. The action is explosive and tongue-in-cheek.

VectorMan 2

Jumping and platforming

A fast run-and-gun platformer where the orb-bodied VectorMan blasts and transforms his way through an abandoned research facility. Its pre-rendered 3D orb-model look was distinctive for the era.

Mega Man 9

Jumping and platforming

Mega Man 9 deliberately returns to the 8-bit classics: tight run-and-gun platforming, bosses with weaknesses, and a free choice of stage order. It is demanding and rewards precise timing and memorization.

Mighty No. 9

Jumping and platforming

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.

Mega Man 8

Jumping and platforming

A classic run-and-gun platformer where Mega Man defeats eight robot masters and takes their weapons. The PlayStation entry brings a colorful cartoon look, animated cutscenes and varied stages with boss fights.

Stop Dead

Jumping and platforming

A chaotic first-person shooter where you hurl hundreds of objects with telekinesis while running, sliding and jumping at speed. The tone is funny and fast, with a rogue-AI story serving mainly as a backdrop.

Bionic Commando Rearmed

Jumping and platforming

A remake of the NES classic where you swing with a bionic arm instead of jumping through 2.5D levels, fighting a militaristic regime's forces. It pairs classic arcade design with modernized visuals and a tough challenge.

Mighty Gunvolt

Jumping and platforming

Mighty Gunvolt is a fast 2D side-scrolling action game that pays homage to retro 8-bit classics. You fire lightning-powered shots, dodge boss attacks, and chase high scores across colorful pixel-art stages that carry the Azure Striker Gunvolt spirit.
