One of, if not the most important and innovative of the games made on the Build engine. You play Caleb, member of a cult called The Cabal and faithful servant of Tchernobog...until now. Tchernobog has struck down all of the Chosen, including Caleb, but Caleb lives again and he's ready to wreck havoc on the Cabal. You use dynamite, napalm, Tesla cannons, and all manner of instruments made from human and eldritch hands alike to tear a bloody swath through Tchernobog's servants, witness the fate of the other Chosen, and confront your traitorous god.


You're an anthro rat in an ill-fitting shirt who owes a mob boss 5,000 USD for a 'shipment of cheese', but, uh oh! Some joker snatched the money from your apartment! Time to track down the one responsible! Rat is a point-and-click game in the Lucasarts tradition with a fun sort of late 90s irreverent atmosphere. Interact with strange people, get free stuff, and find the one who snatched your stash!


One of the earliest, and stranger, of Daisuke Ayama's works! You play a blue cat sort of creature - you appear a bit like an enemy type in Vectorman - and you bounce around a screen trying to ram your head into a lemon slice while a green dot follows and tries to stomp on your tail. The gameplay has Pixel's trademark floatiness that would go on to codify his later platformer work, but here it provides an important push-and-pull as hitting the lemon slice earns you points but it also knocks you closer into trajectory of the dot and its spawning pawprints. How many points can you get?

"It occured to me then, and I still wonder on it; if responsible men can so easily justify employing violence to serve their ends, if they find the pulling of a trigger so simple and right a matter, should we be surprised when the silly and senseless, the sick and the twisted, along with the monsterous, do the same?" - Donald Wetzel, Pacifist or, My War and Louis Lepke
Now, Postal 2 is typically the one most people associate with the Postal series, and for very good reason. But, the original series entry absolutely deserves its roses. Made by a company of people so sick of having to do kids games and edutainment titles in the 90s that they set forward to making the most violent game they could. You're the Postal Dude, fighting back against a world gone mad and killing as many 'hostiles' as you can. Over 20 levels of carnage, and a plethora of weapons designed to make your enemies very, very miserable.
