A bit of a late heads up for this one, as a good friend of ours, has recently informed us, that Gasega68k has released an early work in progress version of 'G-ZERO' for the Sega Mega Drive. A game that is inspired by the SNES title of 'F-Zero'. The first game in the series originally released for the Super NES, as the first game for the platform to use a technique by Nintendo called "Mode 7 Scrolling". To coincide with this news, we've got some footage and a very brief description about this WIP tease below.
And here's the latest. "This is a tech demo of G-Zero for the Sega Genesis, inspired by F-Zero on the Super Nintendo with a mode 7 style rotation background. There are 5 opponents and a rival. The race takes place in a loop, never ending, but the best time gets updated after each lap. This is a WIP, and the author is still working on it"
- The game works on real hardware, so if you have a SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive and an Everdrive, you can copy the file to the SD card and play the demo.
This is a skilled creative attempt at SNES mode 7, given the megadrive hardware doesn't support it. Great progress, this is going to be cool!
