Our Kickstarter is going on! While we have Nintendo 3DS and PC Steam as main goals, we also have real, physical Sega Dreamcast, SNES and PC Engine versions as stretch goal! Real 80s IP on real classic consoles!
When I was a kid, I always wanted to have a SNES game about my favorite anime series, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs. This never has happened. In 2005 I went ahead and contacted the licensor of the show and now finally we can make the game, if we reach the goals on Kickstarter. In order to give you the most accurate 16-Bit GFX experience, we are working with Simon Butler, a veteran from the good old times. He was one of the GFX guys from Ocean Software. The regular games press is laughing at us because we include real classic (homebrew) ports as stretch goals, even before PS4 and Xbox One. My first consoles were Megadrive and SNES and I want to do what nobody has done before.
