Today I have two games with a retro theme: Vortex and Space Barnacle.
Vortex was created by students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The download is small so it works this time.
Space Barnacles is a very retro platformer/shooter posted on the igf. It's designed to be like an old nes game with low resolution and limited graphics.

Vortex
Vortex is a 3D puzzle racing game that requires the player to navigate through a 360 degree rotating track. The fast-paced gameplay is deceptively simple: do not fall.

Space Barnacle
Originally created for the The Independent Gaming Source B-Game Design Contest, Space Barnacle is an homage to the classic 8-bit games of yore.
Hunt for the technology required to obliterate your enemies and avenge your father. Destroy the reactors. Send attackers to their graves. And avoid the deadly machinery that blocks your path!
