50 Really Good Indie Games
In response to the Game Tunnel Top 100 Indie Games list, Derek Yu and the community at TIGSource have put together their own "best of" list... except they don't intend it to be a "best of" list. Rather, it is intended to "aggregate a diverse collection of high quality independent games, and say a little about the significance of each one. "

50 Really Good Indie Games

As this list includes several of my favorites (including Outpost Kaloki and Aveyond), I gotta say I like it. Several games on the list are well on their way to achieving "cult classic" status, such as Kingdom of Loathing, Dwarf Fortress, The Shivah, and Cave Story. Then there's the "I can't believe it's indie" titles like Sam & Max and Alien Homenid (and, of course, Outpost Kaloki) - titles with high production values. And some expected favorites, like the Façade experimental game, Peacemaker, and Armadillo Run. One of Emily Short's "Interactive Fiction" titles, Galatea, even made the list.

Good stuff to check out!
