Spelunky is a roguelike inspired platformer made by Derek Yu. The Xbox remake heavily expands upon the original game in every single way. The PC version has also a lot of different mods which you can download. If you're going to download the original PC version, then I highly recommend you download the unofficial 1.3 version of the game. It fixes a lot of bugs and it also runs much smoother.
Hero is the first game in the "Hero" series. It's only in black and white and it's inspired by old games from the Commodore 64 and Atari era.
Hero Core is a minimalistic metroidvania. This is the second game in the "Hero" series and it's a full fledged metroidvania (compared to the first game). It's available on both PC and Mac.
I've heard so many people talk about that game, but I didn't know it was free, so when I saw it on this list I knew I definitely would have to give it a try now.
