Rem Force
Nothing really much to say about this title – it has some nice titles and a bit of a preview to show, but very little interaction. The demo just has a ship that you can move over a scrolling background, … Continue reading

How can you possibly squeeze a 32-bit PlayStation CD ROM game into a small Game Boy Color Cartridge? Well, HotGen would attempt to do just that with a conversion of Resident Evil in mid-1999 and to make it as close as possible with similar 3D perspectives using scaled sprites.
