And I mean quite recently. Like within a year or two at max. You know… perhaps some adventure games or some retro shooters or something. Anything that does not have fancy looking 3D art.

Geometry Wars :D
“…not having fancy looking 3D art” is very restrictive. Cliffski’s GSB would also be retro according to this.
I donated to some through Kongregate (yes I know you’re sick of me pimping Kong on here ;P )
I spy someone trying to reduce their art budget ;-)
Jake – not much to reduce there :)
Cliff has fancy looking 3D art ;)
Bought a lot of retro stuff at gog.com (Tex Murphy, Personal Knightmare, Beneath a steel sky, do these count?) the home of retro ;)
Discussable.
Finally GSB has 3D art rendered to 2D sprites. Donkey Kong Country belongs into this category to. Mortal Kombat has real world characters mapped from 3D to photo to 2D sprites. IMHO these games fall into a special category, like “pseudo 3D”. Hard to find clear cuts here. I feel a new blog post rising on blackgolem.com… :)
@Leroy: yeh, most definitely.
@hermitC: :)
