198X blends retro action and teen drama on June 20th

As a card-carrying ’80s kid and arcade aficionado, 198X looks entirely my jam. Five virtual arcade games – four action, one RPG – wrapped around a moody teenage coming-of-age story. Featuring a side-scrolling brawler, a sprite-scaling racer, an arcade shmup, a ninja-themed hack n’ slasher and a glitched-out RPG, it’s a real treat to look at, if you appreciate well-animated pixels. Kickstarted a year ago, developers Hi-Bit Studios have the game on track for a June 20th release, and have rolled out a new trailer, showcasing all of the game’s old-school parts. See it below.
