Ouya FTGF Kickstarter: Slightly Magic 8-bit Legacy Edition

[Alex Ross Shaw]

The official thread is here.

Howdy folks,

Colin Jones, the man behind the legendary Rockstar Ate My Hamster and Grange Hill has begun a Kickstarter campaign to remaster his classic game, Slightly Magic and, if stretch targets are met, complete the trilogy as he original intended including the unreleased sequel Slightly Spooky. The remastered version will be able to deal with things like 'colour clash', which the ZX Spectrum was famous for.

I've spoken to Colin and he's happy to come on to Ouya Forum for a Q&A at some point over the next month.

You can pre-order a copy for Ouya, PC, Mac and Linux for £5, though if you put down £7 you get a free copy of his recently released Microdot Reimagined on PC and Mac and the soundtrack thrown in.

As you can tell - I'm keen for Colin to succeed! Personally I think it's a bargain to put down £7 and get two games, plus two more if his £12k stretch target is met.

For any retro heads it's a chance to play a classic 'British' style 8-bit game and encourage Colin to release the unreleased sequel, which is something of a legendary unreleased game in the retro scene.

PLUS - Alistair Brimble is on board to do the music again!
