Click the link and check out the games. This little indie company seems intent on making new RPGs with a very old-school flavor to them, but without churning out the same crap we've seen time and again. There are three download-able freeware titles on their site currently with another title due out in a few months. They seem to have a goal of making games that relate a great story without getting bogged down with state of the art graphics, instead aiming for something very reminiscent of say Chrono Trigger and other games of that age. To take a partial quote from a summary of one of the games on the site, Quintessence, "[this game] aims to achieve a unique outlook on 2D RPGs via a primary focus on the execution of story-telling and presentation." Also, the music for these games is absolutely beautiful. If you miss the 'Golden Age' of 16-bit RPGs then head on over to Freebird Games' site and see what they've got to offer. You may just be pleasantly surprised.
