Bit late to this, but Tom Clancy's EndWar is back online, thanks to a tiny but dedicated community. Voice-control gimmick aside, EndWar's best feature was its (officially shuttered) persistent online Theater of War territory control mode. Not a timeless classic by any means, but great to see.

Our latest original resin kit is option parts for building a Smartgun similar to something you may have seen in some ‘80s Gundam manga. Multi-media kit, meaning it comes with brass parts and vinyl hose.

Wild this finally exists. Infinity is an SRPG that was originally intended to be released for the GBC in the early 2000s but it was sadly shelved. A Kickstarter went up five years ago to finally complete it and here it is! Longest GBC dev time for sure lol
