Found this when someone over at PA posted it, and thought you people here would appreciate it.

Basically, it's a super small (<1meg) platform game similiar to Metroid or Wonder Boy.

"What sets Cave Story aside from the masses of other freeware games is that despite it's tiny file size (under 1 megabyte compressed), it's a lengthy and involving game. Despite having primitive graphics and an intentionally retro-themed (although catchy nonetheless) musical score, it is driven by a remarkably involving and often dark storyline, despite its initially cute appearance. Telling you anything would be a spoiler in itself, so I'll just leave it at this - it starts with the most classic plot MacGuffin of them all - you wake up in a dark cavern with no memory of who you are, where you are, or what you're supposed to be doing. Don't worry - all will become clear in time."

Seriously, this game rocks. And any game that rocks, with multiple endings, and is under 1 meg...it's just like whoa man whoa


ok yeah....download it

This reminds me a bit of Jill of the Jungle.

You let me down. I though I was going to get to "OLD NEWS" a post describing the "creepy" caving story posted on the internet a while back.

That being said, I'll come back and try the game someday soon.

This game is awesome
