    This is cool and all, but why Dreamcast? This seems it could run on anything from NES and up possibly.

      Maybe the developer only develops premium games for premium gamers?

        But Dreamcast wasn’t even a popular console, so not sure that dips into “Premium Gaming”.

          You are missing the reference.

              It’s a fledgling reference, but yes.

      Why not? I think it’s just an interesting side project fo the dev. This is a port of the original version for modern home computers, so it’s not like they’re limiting their audience.

      But I would suggest that while it should be possible to make a good adaptation for 3rd generation systems (NES etc.), you’re not going to be able to make a substantially similar product until you reach at least the 5th generation (PlayStation etc.), and perhaps not even then. The blurry parallax backgrounds, high number of particles, and level of detail make it necessary.
