I've been slowly discovering new retro releases for Game Boy, NES, Sega Genesis and more, and been loving to try them out and supporting indi developers. Here are a few I found would love to see what your favorites are.

Walfie's Nonograms (GB): is absolutely amazing for a free game.

Echoes of the Unread (NES): just picked it up, and it looks like a fun platformer with a fun art style, good music, and a cool premise.

It's not new anymore, but I really like Micro Mages, a vertical scrolling platformer that fits fully into an original 40KB NES cart and supports 4 player simultaneous co-op.

....I love it, but how is that 40k. I'm pretty sure this reply is somehow 40K.

Funny that you ask. They made a video about how they got the game to fit in 40KB: https://youtu.be/ZWQ0591PAxM
