Not strictly for consoles, mind you.

http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=887.0

this seems to be a goldmine of free PC games.

do you have any favorites?

Double Dragon Extreme - excellent beat'em up mod for OpenBOR. It remixes DD1 and DD2 with Final Fight game mechanics.
- Don't bother downloading the game from this guy's youtube page, it's outdated.
Instead goto http://www.Lavalit.com.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

If you want a fun experience download the free game rRootage and download the sounds I have altered (and music replaced).  My sounds are much more pleasing to the ears and they also don't distort like the ones that come with it.  I prefer IKA mode.  Any game with an IKA tribute mode gets bonus points in my book.

Game:

Sounds:
rRootage Rez Pack

You might also want to check out the much, much easier, but very enjoyable (especially on a large screen) Torus Trooper by the same Japanese guy:

OK, so that forum post seems to be down for the count, so I'll link to the ones I downloaded myself.

Double Dragon Extreme is awesome. Anyone notice level 1 music sounded just like that one Phil Collins song from the 80's that's featured on one of the Grand Theft Auto games

Before my laptop broke, I was definitely enjoying these games
> Big Bang Beat (2-D Fighter)
> Anything Touhou, especially Imperishable Night and Perfect Cherry Blossom.
> Warning Forever
> End Effector (3-D Shmup on a 2-D plane)
