Recommend "16-bit" free Android games


Recommended Posts

I am looking for free (to play) games on Android. I like games with the look and gameplay of 16-bit games. I don´t want games which are so long you need to save, or use passwords, to complete. It has to be single player only. I know about the games from Sega.

 

I am particularly looking for a shoot´em up and a racing game (in case my phone can´t handle Crazy Taxi).

Donut Games is a retro-style developer who makes the kind of thing you want, I'd give them a try. High quality, lots of variety. I bought their entire output on iOS, and it looks like they release stuff for free on Android.

If you don't mind the Gameboy looks, Tiny Dangerous Dungeons is fun.

The SEGA Forever games should run OK on your phone. Lots of Sega Genesis in there.

Ever play Tempest 2000 or the sequels? Jeff Minter made a bunch of his games free on Android and one of them is a Centipede type game called Gridrunner that looks like an old arcade game. You will have to sideload it (no google play link) but it runs on anything and is a lot of fun. It and a bunch of other free games are at the bottom of this page.

I tend to snatch Android bundles from Humble Bundle whenever there is a chance to buy one. So far my favorites from there that would qualify as modern 16bit:

 

Devious Dungeon 1 & 2

 

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery

 

Edit: missed the free part.. I consider these games almost for free because the way Humble Bundle works, but that time window has passed obviously
