I think we need a new tag or a new category under the name of ‘pixelated’. being born in ’81 i grew up with pixelated games, and i still have a fondness for the style, yet its so hard to find pixelated games without knowing what your looking for first. i’ve stumbled across some greats though, from the 3 kingdom games (kingdom, new lands, two crowns), westerado, retro city rampage, the textorcist, aquatic adventures of the last human, zombie night terror, undertale, thimbleweed park, red strings club, the last door seasons, darkside detective, hyper light drifter, heartbound, graveyard keeper, gemini rue, fix it felix junior, death road to canada, to but a few, and even though they arent strictly just pixelated, they are pixelated so far in, evoland 1 and 2. anyway, all these games are under different categories, because they are all different kinds of games, but one thing they all share, is pixelated graphics. and because of them all being different genres of games, it makes them hard to find. and i think it would be bloomin’ epic, if every pixelated game had a ‘pixelated’ tag added, or even if a ‘pixelated’ category was added, so that someone like me, who regularly seeks out just pixelated games, can find them so much easier. because i know there are some gems out there, or due to come out, that might not get found unless knowing about them before hand, or just by pure luck stumbling on them, like i have with most of the games i listed here. and of course, this game.you do a great job with the site as is, and i know it may be a bit much to ask, but please consider it. there are so many of us old school gamers that love to play new games, with that classic aesthetic, but rarely find them in one category. anyway, keep up the great work you already do bringing some real gems to the site, and all for free. GOG games are my fav PC games to install, simply because of how easy it is, and when an old game gets gogged, as i like to call it, its bloody awesome, because as the tech gets better, it becomes harder to run the old stuff, and classic getting gogged makes it so much less of a hassle to get them running. Starship Titanic springs to mind, a game i could never get to work on a modern computer no matter how much i tried, but then it got gogged, and wham, worked like a dream, i still had to fiddle and add a Dll to get the vids to play, but apart from that, it was a godsend. anyway, enough brown nosing. please consider the ‘pixelated’ category.many many many many thanks, from D0S81, long time listener, first time caller.
Hi D0S81, Thanks for the suggestion we leave this comment in moderation to remind us about it and its been so long before we manage to do it as we were busy digging games and answering a lot of comments. We are sorry…
Anyway, we have added the Pixel Graphics Games on the header menus hope that we fulfill the way you want it. Again thank for understanding. Stay safe and have fun! Hope to see you comment again 😀
