2LEFTTHUMBS'S PROFILE

There are a lot of really awesome old gems out there, most of which are largely only still preserved at this point thanks to their fan communities.

But there are some really popular, bigger games out there. Like OFF, Space Funeral, A Blurred Line and others that are fully complete games. I'm simply curious why so few of them have pursued avenues like publishing to Steam, GameJolt, or itch?

Sure, some do. But mostly those are more modern RPGMaker games. So so many of these decade old games feel like they're just waiting to be rediscovered! Any thoughts? Or maybe direct comments from some of these devs over the years?

Hey guys! My name's Graeme, and I run the 2 Left Thumbs youtube channel. I've known about RPG Maker for years, but have only recently started to dive deeper into the history of the engine.

I've recently been playing games like OneShot, Fear & Hunger, and Jimmy and Pulsating Mass. Games that lack that distinct RPG Maker look, and really show off the awesome content that can be made with this tool! Now that I've peaked behind the curtain, and realize the massive creativity in the community, I am so excited to see what else is out there.

Now people have been recommending old games like OFF, Space Funeral, and Ghosts of Aliens. I feel like it's put this hunger in me to dig up more older RPG Maker content that have been nearly lost to the ages, and that people may have been missing out on all these years!
This page seems incredibly useful for people who already know what game their looking for, but I'm just lost in a sea of MediaFire links. Could people please recommend some games to me? They can be Adventures, RPG, or turn-based. But I largely care about original stories, creative projects, and rewarding experiences.

Any help or recommendation would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone!
