SirPrimalform: No mention of a release other than Steam. Oh well, I'm not bothered about it enough to complain or compromise so I'll probably just not get this at all.

taczillabr: 8 games for $4,

personally I can't complain about DRM with a price as low as that.
Yeah, but there's a third factor: how much I care. I just don't care enough about playing them to compromise on DRM, no matter how low the price. If I really wanted to play them then I'm sure it'd be different.

What's up with those system requirements? Are they for real?

Well they ARE Flash games.

That's my point. Since when do flash games require 4GB of ram, and GeForce 9800+?

Since lazy developers, who can't learn proper coding, started putting heavy particle effects in their products.

And since Flash itself has gotten a lot more bloated in the past few years.

And these games were never well optimized to begin with.

OK, thanks for the answers.
I thought these games were supposed to be remastered and wanted to get them. But these requirements are far above my laptop specs...

I bet, there was something released years before them, that was similar in style, but runs in DOSBox or a C64 emulator. :)
It only took 11 years for the indies to make a clone of this...

I wish he would team up with someone able to work with something other than flash. Edmund McMillen is a good game design, but flash is not good for games. I was suffering from serious slowdown in Binding of Isaac, a game that looked like it could have been made in the second half of the 90's, for the most part at least.
