itch.io

Games that try to simulate real-world activities (like driving vehicles or living the life of someone else) with as much realism as possible. Simulators generally require more study and orientation than arcade games, and the best simulators are also educational.

Projects inspired by the 16 bit console generation from the late 80s and early 90s. Including the consoles Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16.

Pretty sure everything is indie on itch.io but just in case you want something extra indie.

Featuring aesthetics, gameplay, or themes reminiscent of classic video games. Often characterized by pixel art, chiptune music, or mechanics popularized in earlier gaming eras.
