The nostalgia with this game is STRONG, and best of all, you don’t need a Mega Drive to play it.
In case you didn’t know, the re-release of older consoles is kind of a big thing right now.
Recent numbers show that the Classic NES is out-selling every other console on the market as of June 2018, while vaguely updated versions of everything from Tetris to the Commodore 64 has been made available to the gaming public again.
The return of the Sega Mega Drive has already proven to be hugely popular, but now they’re going one step further with it.
According to the makes of the game, Big Evil Corporation (great company name, btw), this is what you can expect:
“TANGLEWOOD is a brand new and original game for the SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis, to be released on cartridge following its successful Kickstarter campaign. A true 16-bit, nostalgic platforming experience running on genuine SEGA hardware, that will make fans of gaming’s golden era feel warm and fuzzy.
“Set in a fictional world, the game follows a young creature, Nymn, who is separated from the family pack after the sun sets. Unable to get back to the safety of the underground home, Nymn must find a way to survive the night terrors and get to morning. TANGLEWOOD’s world is a dangerous one after dark, and Nymn must use skills of evasion, special abilities, traps and trickery to defeat predators.”
Currently, the game will be released in full-on, old-school Mega Drive cartridges for those whole helped Kickstarter the project back when it was first announced, but it has also been made available for pre-order on the SEGA Mega Drive, Genesis, PC, Mac, and Linux right here.
Anyone who wants to give it a go can the demo a go on a Mega Drive emulator right here, and you can also check out the trailer for the full game below:
