Here's another game in the same vein as Cave Story. It's a cool, old-style platformer. Well worth a try.
"Lyle in Cube Sector"

cool, I'll check it out later.
I`ve been playing this for weeks, it`s great. Thoroughly recommended. Although to be honest I like anything old school.
2D games are the best.
Jason.
Wow, yet another game I have to try.
I don't care about 2D retro, what I love about Cave Story is the inventive, tight game design. If somebody took a solid game design like that and did it with snazzy modern graphics, that would be manna from heaven. Am I the only one who thinks that's an obvious idea?
Actually wait, there are a few games like that (eg. POP,) they're just so rare.
Currently at school here so I cant try, but I love Cave Story here, the Japanese influence helps that too (although I cant understand 50% of the text, and I refuse to use English patch >.>) along with the retro-styled music (couldnt care about the graphics if they were modern or retro)
Cant wait to try this one at home.
Love these Metroid-ish style platform shooters.
