Hey, how about a PC-98 logo?  Then you could distribute it on a shit load of floppies in a stamped tin box with cardboard figurines, an embossed leather map, and bracelets of stupidity.  Wow, I think I could have had a job at Working Designs (or any of the other clowns churning out 'Super Collectors Special Dumb f*ck Editions').

Be sure to list "Mega Power", even if it is a CD.  Yes, the audio counts, and it must be rated in megabits.  So if the game actually took up 346 MB of CD space, then the package needs to boast: "2768 Mega Power!  Bigger than Street Fighter II!!!!"

Point taken. Afterall, we have to compete with our evil competitors out there (even if they are over 15 years old)!

I have no idea what this game is about.  I hope the music didn't originate in MP3 form (well maybe for testing).  I hope uncompressed audio files were used for the final product, especially since you will be charging.  But I'm sure that's the case.
The original music was in module format. I converted these to pure waveforms after applying enhancements, Paranoia Dragon also supplied a lot of enhancements. The audio is crystal clear and FAR superior to the original tracks. For the downloadable version, the music will be in FLAC format with a decoder and batch file ready to go.

Yeah, I mean considering this IS a super grafx game. :wink:

Well, to be exact, it's a SuperGrafx PC-FX hybrid. :^o

So what machine(s) will this game actually work on?

All of our currently scheduled games will run on ordinary SuperCD hardware. We have future plans for SGX-CD games, a couple of ACD games (including a fighting game), and potentially a PC-FX game in the far future.

That sounds sweet!  :clap:  Why not go all out and do a SuperGrafx + ACD game?

Maybe because only eight people would actually have the hardware to play such a beast (same with a SGX-CD).  Of course, I would still buy it - thats what Magic Engine's for.

Magic Engine doesn't properly handle the SuperGrafx. You would need to use mednafen. And I'm not even sure if mednafen supports ACD + SGX.

I suppose so, but if something was going to be SGX+CD, might as well.

I'd bet that nearly 100% of folks who are hardcore enough to have a SGX+CD system would also have an Arcade Card.

I have a game idea I would like to make for SGX+ACD. Me and malducci were thinking about making a little test demo for it.

I have been developing a title for SGX+ACD. It is a vertical shooter + puzzle hybrid in the vein of Sapphire + Blodia. Everyone will love it! :)
