The Metal Dragon/Life on Mars cartridge brings together two modern releases originally designed for a vintage 16-bit gaming
console. These games pay homage to classic video games and movies from their original host platform's heyday and also feature
unmistakably modern game design and irreverent humour.
In Metal Dragon, players take on the role of an elite operative sent to infiltrate an enemy base and rescue the president's
daughter. Although the mission is supposed to be covert, Metal Dragon has a short attention span and is easily bored, so things
quickly turn explosive and violent! The action doesn't let up in this top-down run-and-gun title, and multiple difficulty levels
provide plenty of replay value.
In Life on Mars, interplanetary repair technician Sam has been sent to investigate why a colony on the red planet has lost contact
with Earth. An atmospheric action adventure awaits in this 16-bit exploration platformer inspired by classic '80s sci-fi horror
movies. Players will explore the base a section at a time, gradually acquiring new abilities and upgrading their power to take on
tougher challenges.
