1999 DC Studios
Platform: Nintendo Game Boy Color
A short entry now for an unknown and early game engine that was created during the very early days of DC Studios. It has a working title of “Some Metal Head”, which was set in the game’s header and seems to be the start of a sort of Metal Slug/Turrican style game.
It is extremely early days with the engine, with a main army character who can jump around and walk along sloped platforms. There are no guns or anything at this stage, though graphical assets found suggest that an explosion was included. There are what seem to be springs/lifts which don’t do anything yet, so there are parts of the map which are inaccessible.
It seems a shame this never got any further, though perhaps it did and hopefully there is more of the game to find in the future. It could be just a simple test engine that was later used for other developments.
With thanks to Mark Greenshields for allowing us to preserve.
