I'm pleased to announce Vintage Hero will be available on the Xbox Live Indie Games Marketplace Wednesday, July 24th for 80 MSP! Here's the deets...

Screen 1
When Earth comes under attack by alien invaders, the peaceful denizens expect their old hero, Giga Man to once again save them. When it's clear he's too wrapped up in the tempting night life of the robot glitterati, it's time for a new hero to arrive. Help Floyd, an unassuming custodian at the county jail, his mentor Mac and his lifelong friend Kricket defeat the evil General and his invading alien army!

Action, platforming, and everything you love about the 8-bit gaming era brought back to the modern world with a classic chip tune soundtrack and a gripping story.
  • Over 25 unique enemies and seven punishing boss battles
  • Six challenging stages to play through in easy, normal and hard modes
  • Earn and use special weapons and items to defeat enemies and pass obstacles
  • Gain experience points to level up stats like defense or attack, and grow stronger


Out of the lethargy of legends begins the dawn of new heroes…
You can also download the complete original 8-bit soundtrack for free!

Well it's been a while but I've been chipping away at Vintage Hero in the last few months. I'm happy to say the game is done! I still have to go into peer review and I'll announce a release date after it gets approved but for all other considerations, Vintage Hero has gone gold. To the left is the game box art and below you'll see some game videos and the back of the box I'll be sending out in the press release. Here's a description of the game story:

Help Floyd, an unassuming custodian at the county jail, his mentor Mac and his life long friend Kricket defeat the evil General and his invading alien army!


As you can see in the video below, the game is done in a retro pixel-art style and is obviously heavily influenced by Mega Man, but with my own added twists and level design that hopefully come together to make a fun game. If your a Mega Man fan, a fan of platformers or retro action/adventure games I think you'll find a lot to like here. Here's the trailer and game intro:




Vintage Hero Box Back
Finally, to the right is the back of the box. No one will really see this outside of press releases and on my website but I thought it was a cool thing to make anyway. Click to see it bigger.


Vintage Hero is coming to Xbox Live Indie Games followed by "other" platforms in the near future. The release date will be announced soon.
