This is 198X. It was on Steam. This game caught RetroWill's attention. So he gladly paid $10 for it.

This is a recording of him playing the game. It's his first try, so pardon the deaths. On the other hand, yes this game makes him feel very nostalgic.

What is this?
A retro-styled kick starter game, - love letter to the 1980's arcade culture, growing up, and time gone by-- told via homages to classic arcade games, bare knuckle, r-type, outrun, and a dragon quest like cyber dungeon crawler.

From 198X Website:

"Over-the-top arcade action meets coming-of-age drama, blurring the lines between game and reality. Welcome to 198X – where a new life is just 1 credit away."

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.

The game is set in Suburbia, just outside the City, sometime in 198X. It follows the journey of Kid, a teenager stuck between the limitations of innocent youth and the obligations of inevitable adulthood. The story unfolds when Kid discovers the local arcade – finding new worlds, and new meaning, in video games. For every visit to the arcade – every game uncovered, every move mastered, every demon defeated – Kid grows stronger.

And what happens when the line between reality and game starts to blur...
