Ballistik Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 On this 4K episode of No Filter HD, I play "Gunslugs" (2013) and "Residual" (2021) by Orange Pixel, on my Atari VCS. These are the latest two releases out by OP on the VCS and they're pretty great. In the style of previous offerings, "Gunslugs" has you and your team of action heroes battling and shooting your way through the Black Duck Army. In "Residual," you crash your spaceship on a series of random procedurally generated planets. Will you be able to survive using the natural elements of that planet?
