BREAKING the Famicom's LIMITS - The Story of Gimmick!

Описание: This, is the story of Gimmick!, a Famicom title which pushed boundaries in just about every conceivable way - only to be ignored and buried by the company that created it - mainly because it came to market just a little too late.

It’s a story of creativity run-wild in a mad dash to test the very limits of graphics, sound design, difficulty, and even of the Famicom hardware itself, and it would end in the creation of yet another one of the console’s most sought-after, and yet most misunderstood titles.

Fortunately, there’s a happy ending to this one, but there’s a lot to cover before we get there.
