The game that inspired Battleships Forever. If you enjoy space shooters, you will probably agree with me their most fun element is fighting gigantic, badass, fire-spreading bosses. Well, in Warning Forever, that's what you will be doing from beginning to the end.

There are plenty of amazing platform shooters out there. Metroid. Gunstar. Contra. None of these games can quite compare to Cave Story, though.
Released in late 2004, Cave Story harkens back to a simpler time. The graphics are 8-bit, and yet they manage to be beautiful. The music consists entirely of chiptunes, and yet it's some of the best composed video game music I've ever listened to. And the gameplay? Fantastic.
Since it was founded, Slitherine has been producing a series of excellent wargames with both a strategic component that covers an entire war on a province level, and a tactical component that involves battles of large numbers of soldiers in a 3D representation. In Gates of Troy, they take their characteristic approach to the Trojan Wars--obviously, a game based more on legend than their more historical game--with individual "heroes," detailed diplomacy with the different powers of the world, and 6 different campaign games.
