It's like five bucks on eBay. Check it out. I just talked about this very game a few hours ago in another thread. I feel like a promotional whore. |
All my research for this game makes it seem like ithas similar gameplay and free-roaming progression to Super Metroid, but doesn't focus on the item collection and instead makes that secondary. But from everything I can tell from watching gameplay, its definitely a Super Metroid clone and I'm gonna add it.

I've never played Oddworld. But from my research it looks like the game is closer to the gameplay of something like Prince of Persia. Which does feature free roaming exploration and a focus on platforming, but no item progression. For now, I'm going to put it under Cross Genre.
Blaze & Blade: Eternal Quest looks more like a dungeon crawler. A mixture of something like Baulders Gate and Seiken Densetsu.
Once again, thanks everybody for the ideas. The list is growing! I've already found a handful of new games I wanna try. Hopefully others will as well.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
