Games are listed on the IndieGoGo page also (just add the cost of the game you want to your pledge).  Let’s discuss these a bit, one or two I have already covered when they were coming to other hardware.

Before we break down the purported launch titles, I do want to mention that according to the RETRO VGS IndieGoGo, they will be available boxed with color instruction manuals.  I do hope this means that we will see something along the lines of Universal Game Cases complete with case covers.  It appears that if the games will have artwork for the boxes it is not finalized as to what it will look like (like how Sega had the angled bar, SNES had the bottom/right area reserved for information.

The pack in title, Adventures of Tiny Knight by Collectorvision, has been discussed here on RGM already.  The status of this title has not changed, it is still planned to be included with each console purchase.

Gunlord by NGDevTeam is going to be available for an additional $60 pledge and will apparently come in a see through green cartridge.  For those that do not know about Gunlord, it is a run and gun similar to Contra but overly detailed like other Neo Geo titles.  Also available on Neo Geo and Sega Dreamcast.

Knight’s Chance by NeoBitz is a title I covered here on RGM when it was announced for the Neo Geo platform.  Take a set of casino games, blackjack, video poker, etc and add a medieval aesthetic to everything and you will have an idea of what Knight’s Chance is all about.  Available for a $50 additional pledge, comes in a purple cartridge.  Also available on Neo Geo.

Adventure in the Tower of Flight was also covered here on RGM for the Steam launch.  Tower of Flight hearkens back to the later NES games, graphically, but holds play mechanics that were abound in NES titles back in the day (flight, shooting, dodging enemies, etc all in one game).  The RETRO VGS version will apparently feature two new areas (24 to 30 extra levels), one new boss, one new relic to collect and new enemies for those areas.  Available for a $30 additional pledge, comes in a sky blue cartridge.  Also available on Steam for $9.99.

Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death by Collectorvision.  This is an all new 2D side scrolling action game in development, originally for the Sega Dreamcast (covered here).  Fans of the classics will like Sydney Hunter.  This is turning into a series of games from Collectorvision, who have different versions for various hardware.  Available for an additional $40 pledge, comes in a green cartridge.  Also coming to Sega Dreamcast.

Read Only Memories by Bidboss LLC is a point and click adventure similar to Snatcher (Sega CD), Déjà vu I and II and Shadowgate (various platforms).  We covered these types of games in our second issue of our magazine (not affiliated with RETRO VGS in any way).  Available with a $50 additional pledge, comes in a purple cartridge.  Also coming to Windows, Macintosh and Linux.

Songbringer by Wizard Fu Games is a procedurally generated action role playing game similar to the Diablo series, featuring quite pixelated visuals.  Available with a $40 additional pledge, comes in a gold cartridge.  Also coming to Steam.

On the next page I will detail the “in negotiations” titles.
