Third Time's A Charm As Data East's RoboCop Comes To Genesis / Mega Drive

Data East's 1988 RoboCop arcade game is being revived for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive by two home-brew teams.

Both efforts highlight the renewed interest in bringing the classic coin-op to modern retro hardware.

Freestyle - A platformer set with in game comics, teased for the Amiga! [UPDATE]

Freestyle - Tales of Itch is an upcoming Commodore Amiga platformer built with the Scorpion Engine that turns 1990s comic characters into a 40-plus-level game featuring hand-drawn graphics and genre-shifting stages. A new demo (the likely final pre-release version) adds extra levels, revised graphics, layout changes, bug fixes, performance tweaks and new music, and the title will be available as ADF, WHDLoad and a Windows-based emulator. The game runs best on an Amiga 500 with at least 1 MB fast RAM (or an Amiga 600 with 2 MB plus 4 MB fast RAM) and follows the absurd plot of a fingerless villain named Cactus forcing the cat Stupid Cat to stop his silverware-bending madness.
