    Hi all,

    After being in production for about a year, i can finally present to
    you the first new original game release for the Sega SG-1000 in nearly
    30 years: Astrododge

    You can find the trailer for the game here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3wuJR7vm6U

    In astrododge, you control your ship and have to avoid the rogue
    asteroids for as long as possible. A point is rewarded for each
    asteroid that is dodged succesfullly. Picking up the bonus pickups
    will gain you massive points. Highscores can be uploaded to the
    internet so you can compare you score worldwide. Additionally there
    are tasks you can perform to will unlock rewards in the game. These
    rewards can also be synced on the internet so you don't have to unlock
    them all in one session.

    The game offers a single player mode as well as a 2-player versus
    mode. The latter is especially fun to play with a friend (or foe) as
    you both battle for the special pickups which zooming dangerously
    close past the asteroids on screen! How long can you survive the
    onslaught?

    Game features:
    - Animated multicolor sprites
    - Versus mode
    - Hidden gameplay mode
    - Internet highscore uploading
    - Online rewards system

    The game is available on cartridge: Serialised run of 50 copies
    For more information, screenshots and packaging, check out: http://www.revival-studios.com/?page=147

    * For Sega SC-3000 users, there is also a cheaper version of this game available on cassette tape

    Kind regards,

    Really neat to see that Revival Studios are still at it. Website still
    works, and they now have a bunch of stuff on itch.io as well.

    Wish they had a DL version of Astrododge!

    NO-SPAM is obviously not my email domain. You might try the Roman
    version of Hera if you really need to email me.
