I had no clue there were indie releases for the TG.  This is pretty damn awesome.  What other indie releases are must haves?

I'm going to go order Insanity right now!

I don't know if "must have" is a good thing to throw around when it comes to indie games ...

makes it feel like it will soon be swallowed up but collectors all to soon and then become no different from shelf ware that already exist ..........

I dont' know ...just seemed to strike me as odd to hear "must have" and indie games that are being made for older systems that no longer exist "I don't include repro games in my idea of indie games as they are ports of already existing games"....not to say fan translations are not the work of the devil lol...because that is a laborer of love...

I meant no disrespect whatsoever.  All I meant was if there was a Sturmwind released, basically a title that was pretty much a AAA official release, except not.  All indie releases are labors of love, but once and a while a game will come along that is just so O_O wow great that it is a must own by everyone.  I strongly feel that way about Sturmwind on the Dreamcast.  That game is incredible, and I think everyone who owns a DC should purchase it.  That's sort of what I meant by must-have :)

Mysterious Song (must have)
Pyramid Plunder
Meteor Blaster
Implode
Lucretia (soon to be released must have)


Thanks for the info :)  Looks like the makers of Mysterious Song are gone or they're having website issues.  I looked on eBay, but don't see anything there.  I might have to miss out on that one sadly, and it's a shame as it looks great.

I found this link for Lucretia: http://eponasoft.blogspot.ca/p/shop-eponasoft.html and I'm going to assume that's still valid, but with an outdated release date?  I pre-ordered my copy, so hopefully that's the correct link ;) 

Anyways, thanks for the great suggestions :)

The Old Rover is the lead man for both Frozen Utopia and Eponasoft.  Both very much alive and kicking!  New copies of Mysterious Song are out there somewhere... I forget what site, though. Someone here probably remembers. Side note: A sequel is in the works and there has been some discussion about doing another run of Mysterious Song.

Thanks for the info!  I shot The Old Rover a PM, but if anyone else knows where I could snag a copy of Mysterious Song please let me know :)

This is absolutely awesome.  I love being able to buy brand new games for a system that is no longer supported.  I recently picked up Knight's Chance on the Neo, and damn was that impressive.

In my opinion, all of them are 'must haves'.   :-"  I am all for supporting home brew developers, so unless something released was proven garbage put out solely for the purpose of scalping Turbo lovers, then I will buy a copy and recommend others to do the same.  That said, I personally got far more enjoyment from Mysterious Song and Pyramid Plunder than I did from the other indie games.

I believe that Good Deal Games still has new stock of Mysterious Song and most of the other indie releases as well.

Thanks for the info!  I just contacted them and asked for the total for all six games they currently have listed on the site.  I sure hope they've got them all in-stock.

Thanks again! :)

Pyramid Plunder is as much fun as any game, 16-bit or otherwise.

Great game for sure.

But Insanity is better!

I've been checking out most of these games while I wait for Good Deal Games to get back to me, and they look really good.  It's going to be fun doing video reviews for these indie releases.  :)

I contacted them about Revival Chase like forever ago or something, have yet to hear back.

I bought my copy of that game from Good Deal Games.  This must've added me to their mailing list, because about a month after I got an email that said "We have 5 copies left at 1/2 price..." or something to that effect.  I tried to nab one, only to find out it was already gone.  Anyway, that is my long was of saying I thought they were sold out, unless they A.) got new stock, or B.) that was just a few extras they had without the magazine.

I have bought from there before, it is a good site.  I am guessing the guy could be on vacation or something, seems like a small operation.
