just found the above on steam, was released yesterday, its the original dual screen 80's arcade 8bit edition that the new game was based off of...

looks quite entertaining, and tbf is most likely better than its new counterpart!

I feel bad for not knowing this one. The game name is familiar but I don't remember playing this. Closest one I can think of is Turrican.

This isn't an old title. Capcom have recently made it for dsi ware. They started making it after Dark void was made. If you look on Wiki it explains it all there.

I appologise and thank you for correcting an old fool

Wow, I honestly believed it was a genuine 8bit game.

Why make one look so poor on purpose though from scratch?

That's actually good news. My retro knowledge isn't as bad as I thought

 

[phatboy]

mine is shot to bits, like most of the games from the era lol

 

[Dirkscooby]

Even though I love todays games,..the 80s for me was the golden era. So many great memories.

lol, i like how the main character is a cross between the rocketeer, daft punk and mal from firefly in my eyes.

as somebody said above, why would you create a game like this now. atleast give a bit of an art direction.
