Rare is digging deep into its sordid British 8-bit past to provide further proof that the Game Boy Advance is indeed the system of choice for the retro gamer.
Long before U.K.-based Rare rose to fame as one of Nintendo?s top development houses, it was known as Universe and was responsible for a chain of odd, 8-bit games for a system called the Sinclair Spectrum. In this "sequel" to the company?s 1984 Spectrum classic?also called Sabre Wulf,?you?ll play as a distinguished hunting gentleman named Sabreman. Your quarry? A legendary lupine monster called Sabre Wulf. Your job? Collect native animals in a top-down environment, then harness their powers to clean out the Wulf?s 2D-platform hiding places. Sabre Wulf will be part adventure, part puzzler, part platformer?and 100 percent retro.
