On cartridge

Lore of the Ember on the Sega Megadrive (Genesis)

The Megadrive is the best console to host the game.

Runs on Sega Megadrive and Genesis

The Megadrive port takes advantage of what the Megadrive does best, in colour and in sound. Beyond that, everything is identical. I wanted to keep the same gameplay experience on every machine.

1

The scenery is no longer held to the Atari's sixteen colours: the same artwork, far richer.

2

A night territory where you only see what the lantern lights, and where the monsters step out of the dark.

3

Two players, the intro, the ride, the plague and its outbreaks: everything the Atari version does is here.
