The word on the web today is that the Megadrive - which has been a deceased format for many years now - will be getting a brand new game release later this year.

Only, it isn't a game by Ubisoft or EA or anyone you may have heard of - it's being done by a group of ultra-hardcore Sega fans, who just refuse to let the 16-bit era go.

Putting all their homebrew skills into the project, the new game, titled Pier Solar, is a fully-fledged Japanese-style RPG made from scratch for Megadrive.

The programmers, who say the project originated from "the Sega homebrew community of Eidolon's Inn in 2004" (presumably a website), say the game will be release on a proper cartridge and Sega CD later this year.


Check out the screens on their official site - it actually looks pretty good. They must have some serious spare time on their hands.

We wish we could make our own games. If we could it'd be one that lets you steal cars, punch people and pick up hookers. Oh, wait...

Homebrews come out all the time. The dreamcast gets it the most. Theirs an excellent pc remake of streets of rage online for free.
