198x is now available DRM-free.

198X is an arcade epic. A coming-of-age story told through multiple games and genres, worlds and characters. Experience the thrill of shooting, driving, jumping, fighting and role-playing – combined with emotional, cinematic storytelling. This is a love letter to the golden age of arcade games – yet with a scope that was never possible in the actual 1980s.

Is this game good?

Judging from the trailer, the first thing I thought was "dtgreene would love having this many different types of moments and genres packed in one game".

This new company, Test Developer, is making a big impact on GoG.

£7.19 - estimated playtime 2 hours! No thanks.

They are? Please elaborate.

The art looks amazing, and every sub-game in there made me wish each was its own full fledged game. Though the game card is quite honest in saying it's a 2 hour romp and part 1 of something bigger.

I'll wishlist it for now. :)

Wow, games by TEST DEVELOPER are my favourite!

Looks very unusual and deep nostalgic at the same time. I don't know what to think, the game tries hard to touch my "soul".

Well, there was this other game, also released by "Test Developer". I`m wondering, how many games they will release on GoG in the next time.

Oh, it was a miss on GOG's side, I thought it was their actual name. I looked it up and it's Hi-Bit Studios who developed and published the game.

Watched the trailer and was amazed by the 80 feeling and the general idea. Entered this thread, read the "2 hours" description, checked on game page confirming it ... sorry, 2 hours for 10 bucks - I guess I'll pass.

The game looks very interesting. Wishlisted for now. I remember some games on the 80s blending several genres, with better or worse results.

Things like Batman, Technocop, Robocop, Vendetta, etc. I sure wish more games would try this approach. Of course, there would be the risk of making several weak sections, instead of a single, strong approach.

EDIT: since GOG's forum is still broken I have to include the links in this way

And yet people regularly pay more for less for movies.

This looks great. I *love* trans-genre games when they integrate them in a good, meaningful way. Much of the time the genre-mashing is done badly though.

Cinema in Croatia is around 35 HRK, which is slightly more than 5 USD.
