Welcome to the Indie Showcase, a semi-regular column on Big Download that takes a look at games we haven't covered on the site that we really think you should play.

There may be a lot of quality freeware games out there, but there's also a lot of amazing shareware games. In fact, most of the truly amazing or classic indie games are indeed shareware! So for those of you that want a decent selection of games to spend about $20 on, here's four of the many classic and great shareware indie games for you to pick from. They may not be all that new, but everyone, indie connessoir or not, should play these games at least once.

Welcome to the Indie Showcase, a semi-regular column on Big Download that takes a look at games we haven't covered on the site that we really think you should play.

Just recently, TIGSource held and finished a Bootleg Demakes competition on their forums. The goal?

Welcome to the Indie Showcase, a semi-new column on Big Download that takes a look at games we haven't covered on the site that we really think you should play. They can range from browser to downloadable games, but they all have one thing in common: They are all very good. This week we have a bundle of browser games for you to enjoy anywhere you want, from work to home. They range from Flash games to Java games, and one even has a downloadable version that works both on PC and Mac. This is not the focus of this column, though. In the future, games can range from those from a specific competition, recent excellent releases, or even old indie games that we really think you should look try!
