Which bit Generations game do I buy

I have a bunch of credit at play-asia, and am about to spend just over $42 there (buying this and this in case you are interested), but I have a voucher for $8 off $50, so I need to buy something for about $10, and they have 3 bit Generations games for $9.99, Boundish, Digidrive or Dialhex. I know very little about these games other than they are small experimental games, and that owning them adds +5 to my pretentious gamerscore.

Which one do you guys think I should get? If these 3 are the bad ones, I will probably just get the first Legend of Starfy game.

Also, I am getting that T-Shirt in XL because I have been told that Japanese sizes are much smaller, I normally wear a Large or Medium, so am I right getting an XL? My mate had to give his badass Medium Melt Bananna T Shirt to his sister :cry:

Feel free to suggest any other random $9.99 stuff at Play-Asia I may have missed.

    It's not so much that they are small and experimental as it is the style. Minimalistic, solid colors and lines, very "old school" and NESish.

    Dilhex is the one I have heard the most about, apparently everybody loves that one.

    I don't have Boundish because everyone says it sucks, but of the other two, I'd say Digidrive. Dialhex is an alright puzzle game but kind of generic and I bored of it quickly. Digidrive is more unique and replayable.

    And it's not $10, but Soundvoyager is the best Bit Generations game.

    I was going to say spend a little more and get Orbital as it's a wonderful peaceful experience (except when you ping pong back and forth between planets and hit game over) but then I saw that it's out of print.

    I wonder if that will drive up the value.

    Other than that I also have Dotstream, but that one is $25 on the site. It's basically a racing game that uses colors of lines instead of cars. Very basic game.

    But I dont know anything about the three you posted so I guess this is all useless.

    I only have Sound Voyager, which I picked up at the same time as Rhythm Tengoku which lead to SV getting unfarily overlooked.

    A game without graphics (to any real extent) is worth a purchase. I don't know much about the others though if the ones you listed are the only ones on offer.

    I think Eurogamer did a good summary. I would check there.

    I have no idea what's going on in Digidrive, so I gave up on it. The music is pretty hip though. Dotstream was enjoyable but a bit one-dimensional (or two I should say) and I gave Orbital to Lunker.

    As for the t-shirt, it's always better to pick a bigger size if you worry that it won't fit, although XL might be stretching it. Normally, I'm M but I have to get L sized clothes when in Southeastern Asia.

    If you have a freeloader, Mr. Driller Drill Land is a pretty fun game.

    I have all of them, and if you want a long lasting puzzle experience, go with Dialhex. My brain doesn't work in the same way as the game, but my girlfriend spent weeks playing it. It certainly has the most longevity out of those three.
