New FPS game running on custom engine in 320x240 res in 256 colors - a piece of lost art, straight from the 90s. And it's coming to Steam Deck / PC soon 🤞

A bit of gunplay from my from-scratch boomer shooter Catlantean 3D. 320x240 software rendering with 256 colors, runs on a potato. Now mostly in content creation & polish phase, hopefully coming to Steam Deck and PC soon - as open-source!

I rarely ask for this, but I could really use a signal boost on Factory Town 2. I've put tons of time & effort into it, I think it's my best game yet, and is coming out soon.
So if you can share this link, or wishlist it, I would be extremely grateful!!

The #Littlecar channel on Youtube has done a great job of capturing the history of Microbee in a compact 18 minute presentation. Well worth a look along with the many, many other retro computer videos he has produced.

We just released the source code to our Neo Geo demo, Vaporous. It has some pretty handy stuff in it like our mame 68k debugger.
