for the PC. It was developed over five years by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya
(pictured) in his free time. Cave Story features 2D platform mechanics
and pays homage to the classic games that the author played in his
youth, such as Metroid. The game focuses on an amnesiac protagonist who
awakens in a cave. Through his explorations, he discovers a plot by the
Doctor, a megalomaniac who intends to force the inhabitants of the cave
to fight for him in his bid to conquer the world. The protagonist is
thrust into the position of savior as he endeavours to defeat the
Doctor. After its initial self-published release, Cave Story slowly
gained popularity on the Internet. It received wide critical acclaim for
its compelling story and gameplay. Independent developer Nicalis worked
with Amaya to port the game to WiiWare and DSiWare in 2010. An enhanced
version, Cave Story+, was released for Steam in November 2011, with a
Nintendo 3DS release in October 2012. A 3D remake of the game, titled
Cave Story 3D, was developed by Nicalis and published by NIS America for
the Nintendo 3DS in November 2011.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
We recognize a noble image, a marvellous conception, a supreme
figure, an exalted shadow, an infinite representation of the represented
infinity, a spectacle worthy of the excellence and supremacy of Him who
transcendeth understanding, comprehension or grasp. Thus is the
excellence of God magnified and the greatness of his kingdom made
manifest; He is glorified not in one, but in countless suns; not in a
single earth, a single world, but in a thousand thousand, I say in an
infinity of worlds.
--Giordano Bruno
