Old-ish exploration platformers

Maybe the Blaster Master games, they always had a sense of exploration to me.

Nifflas' Within a Deep Forest and Knytt/Knytt Stories are breddy nice as far as exploration games go. Freeware.

Indie stuff before indie stuff was exclusively trash.

I'm not sure about the newer Knytt game. Something about the presentation is just wrong.

Exile
Cauldron 2
Impossible Mission 1, 2
Head Over Heels

Fuck, that looks good.
