Rick Dangerous series
Setting: Egyptian
You play Rick Dangerous, an Indiana Jones type who's on a quest to find the lost Coolu Amazon tribe. However, his plane crashes in the middle of a bunch of crazed Coolus. Hopefully he's up to the challenge of escaping. If he is, he will find himself in the pyramid of Egypt with no easy way past leaders and their minions, and then engulfed in a web of traps in a Nazi base.
Rick Dangerous is a platform game across over 100 screens, in which Rick has his gun in one hand, and dynamite sticks in another. You must take a methodical approach to clearing each screen, as there are traps in place which will need memorizing and preempting where possible. Use the dynamite wisely, for enemies you can't get into the purely-horizontal range of your gun.

Cruel and unusual punishment by Joakim Kihlman (270)
If you are a masochist, you'll love this. But if you want a tough but fair gaming experience, look elsewhere. This game should be banned in the U.S. This game dishes out cruel and unusual punishments left and right. It wants to crush you. It wants to eat your soul.
Who's your daddy, Lara Croft? by 5u3 (197)
Despite Core Design's repeated efforts to swamp the gaming community with mind-numbing mainstream productions featuring a certain well-built heroine, Rick Dangerous still manages to be a remarkable character.
If you care about presentation, play the home computer versions for better graphics and sound. If it turns out too frustrating, try the easier follow-up game, Rick Dangerous II.
