36 Years After Its Release, Star Cruiser Mega Drive Gets Definitive ROM Hack, Featuring Input From Its Original Designer

Includes bug fixes and movement improvements. Here's something cool for fans of obscure Japanese first-person shooters. A new set of ROM hacks has just dropped for Arsys Software and Masaya's Japan-exclusive Mega Drive port of Star Cruiser , fixing a bunch of bugs with the original game and offering some improvements to movement. Star Cruiser, for context, was a first-person shooter with light RPG elements originally released for the PC-8801 in 1988 and followed a hunter charged with destroying an evil militaristic faction called VOID. Considered an early 3D pioneer for its use of polygonal graphics, the gameplay was primarily divided between planet-based exploration/combat and interplanetary travel, with the story being delivered through ADV-style dialogue with NPCs portrayed as sprites.

“We’re going to take things slow": South of Midnight devs now own the rights to all their games again, after quitting Xbox, and are working on a new game

We Happy Few and South of Midnight developers Compulsion Games have announced that they are fully broken up with Microsoft and Xbox, after completing a management buyout.

When you buy the Steam version of South of Midnight, all your money (after Valve's revenue cut) will go to Compulsion. Read more
