Release Date: October 6, 2023 Retail: TBD Developer: J.D. Video Game Productions Publisher: J.D. Video Game Productions Official Site Battle your way through the audio-verse! On-Rail Shooter Super Star Shooter 16 takes its cues from early arcade and 3d games. This means that player follows along a fixed course and is responsible for dodging obstacles and eliminating enemy targets. This results in a much more accessible game. Retro Graphics Super Star Shooter 16 achieves a unique graphics style by combining an extremely limited color palette with Unity's powerful 3d graphics engine. This game was inspired by MS-DOS gaming as well as the the 16 and 32-bit console eras. Psychedelic Audio-Visualization Super Star Shooter 16 synchronizes the audio and visual experience. The enemies and scenery in Super Star Shooter 16 all move to the beat of the music. This often creates a sensation of calm focus or feeling "in the zone" during gameplay. Fun, Simplistic Gameplay and Controls Super Star Shooter 16 is intended for casual gamers. This game is intended to be very easy to get into, but difficult to master. The control scheme is very simple and does not take long to learn (or relearn).

208,385 with a Modern. This was a personal best and my first time completing arcade mode! Still a bit back from @D.joe, but we have a lot of days left in May. 😉

Mail Call: I just received my copy of Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum from iam8bit! I love the digital version on Steam and I'm so happy to have the physical release. Only 4,000 were made and only one in eight (500) are the pink "stale gum" cart. Those were randomly shipped so I lucked out!

Apparently Tailgunner is no longer available from the VCS store. The Dec closed up shop and removed the game from all platforms. If you have it, don't delete it!

Looks great! Are you planning a release through Songbird?

Yeah, the high score boards with tournaments have your name all over it @D.joe !

There was an update to the game and it's now fully playable again. If you value original content from these creators, please support this FANTASTIC game. Do not download the leaked 2600 ROM.
