Went down the memory lane--got pulled over for speeding.
Retro City Rampage, a nostalgic tribute to the 1980s that looks like a NES game and plays a lot like classic Grand Theft Auto, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.49 for the next 24 hours!
1980s were colorful, loud, strange, and sometimes a little bit awkward. They brought us many great things like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Back to the Future movies, G.I. Joe 3.75" action-figures, DuckTales, as well as most of GOG.com staff members. On the other hand, they also gave us Milli Vannilli, Boomboxes, acid wash denim, The Mullet hairdo, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial on Atari 2600. The period had its ups and downs but the roots of gaming geeks' community remain firmly planted in those colorful times. Here's a game that takes you on a high-speed trip down the memory lane!
Retro City Rampage is an ambicious and succesful attempt to pay a homage to the 1980s' era gaming and popular culture. Ten years in the making, this game offers 60 varied missions in the main campaign, 45 special challenges, about 40 different vehicles, 25 weapons and gadgets, and 2,5 hours of top-notch chiptune music. It's also so full of nostalgic references to games, movies, music, and characters, that it's hard to put a number on them. The thought that most of this titanic effort can be attributed to just one man's love, dedication, and passion, is simply astounding. Brian Provinciano, the man behind Vblank Entertainment, invites you on a trip back in time you won't soon forget!
Bring out the nostalgia cannons! Let the explosive funtime begin! Get Retro City Rampage, for only $7.49 on GOG.com, until Thursday, February 21, at 10:59AM GMT.
