This is SUPER MARIO WORLD on MSX for Mario 35th. On MSX2, but pushing hard the limits of the 8-bit computer. Author Daemos said recently that it's only missing a boss & end credits screen. Took 6 years. #fangame #MSX #gamedev #8bit #pixelart #homebrew #retrocomputing #chiptune

CASTLEVANIA: SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT for #MegaDrive (by Pigsy) The Xmas demo. With art worked by Pyron and music by various artists, it's as awesome as you'd expect. The author has programming tutorials on YT that are highly recommended if you want to learn MD dev. #SGDK #gamedev

Tesla Cybertruck reimagined as a 1990 COMMODORE AMIGA game (UPDATE) Added terrain like open world games such as MIDWINTER (1989) and HUNTER (1991). (This is not a criticism of the car's design. More like a compliment.) #Commodore #AmigaRetweets #lowpoly #gamedev #RETROGAMING

ESP Ra. De. (Cave/Atlus/1998) Arcade original. Shooter developed after the release of DoDonPachi and together with Dangun Feveron. Highly recommended, didn't had home ports until re-released as ESP Ra. De. Psi for Switch and PS4 in 2019. #エスプレイド #STG #shmup #danmaku #弾幕

WILD WEST C.O.W. BOYS OF MOO MESA (Konami, 1992) Released only for the arcades, it's a side-scrolling "run 'n gun" game based on the animated TV series of same name. Similar to SUNSET RIDERS, features great animation and sprite work. Highly recommended. #arcade #retrogaming #2D

HOLOGON by The Electronic Knights (2020) Some effects never seen before on the #AMIGA500 in this demo. Nicely done. And apparently you can get it on floppy disk directly from the author as if it was 1990. #commodore #AmigaRetweets #pixelart #chiptune #programming #demoscene 🎶

SPACE HUNTER for #MegaDrive (by MD ROM Test & GameDevBoss, 2023) Was previously called "Metroid Mega Mission", to bring Samus Aran to the Sega console. Now it's renamed and changed, probably to avoid trouble. Still a cool and promising Metroid-like project. #SGDK #gamedev #Sega

XELDEN RING for #MSX (by Braingames, 2023) Ambitious 3D action RPG. Resembles Freescape games such as Driller and Total Eclipse. MSX1 game but shown here running on MSX TURBO R (takes advantage of its R800 CPU for a nice speed boost). msxdev.org/2023/10/17/msx… #MSXMonday #gamedev

FINAL FIGHT on MEGA DRIVE (by Mauro Xavier & team 2022) Demo version released on Xmas day, it's homebrew perfection: responsive, fast & beautiful. My favorite arcade classic brawler, this ports nails it Links on Mario's profile: x.com/MXRetroDev #gamedev #chiptune #SGDK

ANOTHER WORLD for #AMIGA500 (1991) Amiga/ST original, a cinematic visual journey. Chahi developed it alone over 2 years, the true indie before indie was a thing. DOS port adds extra scenes but IMO the game is just perfect in its original length. #AmigaReposts #gamedev #artstyle
