Since the normies are starting to do their GotY thing.

I think mine's Hardspace: Shipbreaker, although 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim continues to grow on me.

I don't know if it's the best, but the oldest games I've played this year are:

  • Montezuma's Revenge
  • Commander Keen
  • Zelda (NES)

I'm also looking for an old game I had on a 5" floppy back then... a fast-paced vertical scrolling shootemup/bullet hell, possibly with "Goose" in its name...

That and a Space Invaders-like that sounds like Galaxian, but is not Galaxian...
Similar concept, but possibly from the 90s, and your ship had a retractable claw to catch power-ups, and some sort of vertical sidebar in its UI with your score, wave progress, etc.

    The last one sounds like Galactix? Screenshot here.

    Now that I think about it, that was probably my introduction to shmups. Either that or Axelay, not sure which I played first.
