If you take the time to download the demo, you'll see it's a wonderful side-scroller with several other elements that are reminiscent of a 90's game-style. Keep in mind that Ultionus is in no way an "adult" title. The lead character, Serena, is a determined pilot and fighter. It also reminded me of how politically correct we have to be in these modern times. One, it brought me back to the vibrantly colored 2D scrollers I love.
Having recently discovered a 1990's style 2D side scroller (released in 2013) named Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge, I was reminded of two things. I can't think of a better tribute to a style or title than to have it rebooted into a new, yet familiar game experience.
Sometimes these genres are so compelling, developers make new games in the style of those from yesteryear. As gaming progressed in technology and sophistication, those old games, that started it all, still offer the same fun they did all those years ago. Many games now cost 4 quarters instead of one, but I still play them because it's great fun. However, nothing beats the origins of this electronic revolution.Ī lot has changed in 30+ years, but some things are the same. With a vast majority of video gaming's history occurring during my lifetime, I've loved almost every minute of it's evolution. Versions of my favorite arcade games were being released on homeward bound cartridges. This golden age melded with the early stages of home game consoles to which many popular arcade games were ported. To my delight there was also pinball, air-hockey, girls and pizza. It was a world I loved even when angry apes were throwing barrels at me. Video games gave me an amazing world to roam. Arcades let me battle foes in space, but the adult industry brought clarity to Earthly nonsenseĭuring my tenure as a youthful arcade delinquent, I blasted asteroids on vector monitors, saved cities with a trackball and rescued humanoids as Captain of the Spaceship Defender.
