The Good Old Days
Shareware meant games that ranged from bad to good, but this one is really great, and one that would show that not only consoles could have well made platform games.

Abandonia Reloaded
Overall it is one of the best game series ever. It may have the simple plot of retrieving stuff for your rocket, but it is better than the games that involve you rescuing a damsel-in-distress. This game is ancient, but ID did not throw in some timer problems, and that means that you will not have a problem running the game on modern systems. If you like platform games, especially the ones that involve you walking around a map and traveling to your next destination, then you won't go wrong with this one.

Christ Centered Game Reviews
Keen 1 is a good game to play if you like platform games. It is completely free, all you need to do is get it from here. It is also a good game for the kids, if the minor violence, and one bit of lying doesn?t bother you.
