Before Metroid defined the genre, games like Montezuma's Revenge & Jet Set Willy laid the groundwork for non-linear exploration platforming. 8-Bit Space 2 is a love letter to that proto-Metroidvania era. www.kickstarter.com/projects/8bi... #metroidvania #retrogaming #Nes #Homebrew #ZXSpectrum

Here are a few different planets with their colour palette variations in 8-Bit Space 2. Built for the NES, but heavily influenced by classic 8-bit microcomputer exploration games! ​Kickstarter is now live: kickstarter.com/projects/8bits… #ZXSpectrum #Microcomputers #BritishGaming #Homebrew #NES
