Thanks for all the great games over the years 😊

I've been in love with online freeware games for a long time, which has meant a lot of watching good creators fade away, good games go unsupported and eventually unhosted. But Terry's an old-guard dev that not only stuck around, not only successfully transitioned to making epic commercial games, but also kept making awesome small-scale games the whole time. And with this collection, he's assembled a whole mess of those games into a clean gorgeous package, one that'll be much easier to support and host for years to come. It makes me very happy to see a freeware dev show this much love to their back-catalogue.

I'm very glad Terry's commercial games have achieved so much success, and I adore them. But his titanic backlog of cool-as-hell one-off freeware releases is still the beating heart of his oeuvre to me. It means a lot to see such a loved-on package of these games, some of which I played almost twenty years ago. I hope through this collection they get the chance to inspire a new generation of wannabe devs the same way they inspired me.

I won! Really enjoyed this, great ruleset and the climax was fun and funny.

High score of 68.267! Absolutely fiendish, good job.

Got 65 points! This is really cute, and a little trickier than it initially appears. Great work!

What a cool ruleset, great work!

I freed the bubble reef from tyranny!!

this is really really cute and sweet rose, great job ;_;

Went back and got the 303, good game!!!!

Gyahahaha seems easy right up until it's suddenly Not Easy, nice work

gorgeous art and music! clear rank A on my first playthrough 😎

I know from experience that it's very hard to make cute mermaid sprites at this low a resolution -- this is a very cute mermaid sprite

I found the gnome! I liked "the button that kills you"

Running over the moles is so satisfying every single time oh my god

I won! Very nice art and a cute lil ruleset.

Oh this is absolutely fantastic. Won with 220, excited to go for a higher score soon!

Edit: gyahahaha came SO CLOSE to a perfect game, this game rules.

Reached level 34! Simple snappy play language with really strong presentation and execution, nice work.

Great domino-y story and aesthetic texture married to strong rpg fundamentals. Had a lot of fun mapping this one and scraping by the scary fights. Makes me wanna play a classic CRPG...

Oh this rules... a treat to get another classic toby score attack game

Exquisite

*ten years later* Tom I still love the bee game so much

I know this is some inscrutable in-joke but it made me laugh very hard anyway. (For other players: I played near-optimally my second attempt and still game-over'd, I don't believe it's possible to successfully update TVTropes.)

Man... this one tapped into some self-destructive impulses I've felt when I was really low (in a good way). When you've been Extremely Online for a decade plus, you're gonna have some bad experiences with people that leave scars. It's very easy to start hedgehog's dilemma-ing after 'another' person you respected turned out to be a grifter, or someone that climbs the ladder and then pushes it down. 

I don't know how much that resonates with the intended theming here, but it's what I thought of while playing it.

I really like this one... Gorgeous writing, the rolling egg dream made my breathing hitch as it went on longer than I expected it to.

Gorgeous. Tons of cute and funny interactions, great sense of style, lots of diverging story paths.

befuddling up front, but I cackled after reading the linked poem.

This fuckin' rips, natch. Gorgeous production, pitch-perfect banter. It's very cool that the unflinching sexuality and violence that defines a lot of your later games is already here in your first domino entry.

yup, still a masterpiece

Fuckin' fantastic character work, nailed the climax. Had a lot of fun puzzling out the card battle tactics, maze dungeon is grueling though 😫

This came together really nicely across two playthroughs for the different endings, great work. Gorgeous art too of course.

Magnificent

Cleared! I liked this a lot. Got frustrated during the tutorial while figuring out the movement, but after I puzzled it out it felt real good. Excellent storytelling and style natch.

"WELL, NEVERTHELESS..."

Really really enjoyed this, fantastic texture and character work. Nabbed all three endings.

Oh this absolutely rules, great work. Bombing and racking up the big multipliers feels awesome.

I really really really really really liked this one katey

Endings were really eerie and haunting, awesome work with the direction, visuals, and writing on this. The formal trick made me cackle.

Really enjoyed the mood in this one, the starkness contrasts nicely with your other stuff. 

Loved this, just a very pure action conceit executed pristinely. Can you beat my 223300 score...?

Thanks for clarifying, definitely not garbo though! This is a really cute cool language, if ya ever return to it I'd be interested in seeing what you do with it 😌

Lots of really nice tile and map work in here, nice job!
