Get ready to dust off your NES, because gaming history is about to be rewritten! In a triumphant twist of fate, we've dug up a hidden treasure from the vaults of retro gaming glory—Xcavator 2025, the brainchild of late gaming pioneer Chris Oberth, is making its long-anticipated debut!
Flashback to 1991: incredible innovations were in the works at Incredible Technologies Inc., the masterminds behind arcade legends like Golden Tee Golf and Big Buck Hunter. Among their ambitious projects was Xcavator 2025, a game ahead of its time that never saw the light of day—until now. Thanks to the tenacity of the Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) and Oberth's family, the game's original source code was unearthed, locked away in Oberth's own development archives.
Enter Mega Cat Studios, the retro gaming artisans who've resurrected this gem by wielding only the tools and technology true to its era, capturing the essence of Oberth's vision with finesse. And while a standalone trailer is yet to make waves, early teasers have already turned heads during the Day of the Devs showcase!
Don't miss your chance to snag Xcavator 2025, coming soon in its original 8-bit glory on a real NES cartridge! Handled with care by iam8bit, this release features an "authentically retro package" and a collector's manual, all for a nostalgic journey back in time for just $100. Better yet, every dollar earned fuels the mission of the VGHF to safeguard gaming's rich legacy for the future!
Remember when Oberth's alternate take on Days of Thunder shot off the shelves in 2020? With a track record like that, Xcavator 2025 is set to dig its way right into fans' hearts. So, gaming enthusiasts, the race is on—preorder today and be part of gaming history!
