Title: Asteroid Challenge FX
Post by: nodtveidt on March 20, 2016, 07:15:46 AM

This is a functional demo for the PC-FX. This is a converted version of Asteroid Challenge for the PCE, released about four years ago to test the METRO shooter engine for the project that eventually became Einzelganger... though unfortunately we have not made any progress on that in years. The only thing that remains of it is some concept art and this shooter demo. Anyway, this has been tested on a real PC-FX machine, so you can actually burn a copy and run it on the real thing.

What's with the horizontal sprite drop, isn't the PCFX supposed to be a 2D powerhouse?
