News a build of the unreleased Game Boy Color shmup "Katakis 3D" has finally been publicly posted online.

likely origin of the rom + music comparision.
  • it's worth noting that the original owner of that Mario Kart XXL cart also had this game.


    as such (particularly combined with the fact OG did a fundraiser prior to release.) it's likely this is where the dump is sourced from.

    also, i've made a quick comparision of music from this and the C64 Turrican 3, in case you're wondering how the conversion process went.

    Watching the video... how did they even pull this off on a Gameboy Color???
    well, most of the the backgrounds are pre-rendered images heavily down-converted to fit the GBC's color limit. for one.
    notably, there actually was an officially released game that used a similar technique. Toy Story Racer.


    it's not quite as cleanly done due to the nature of it being a kart racer, but it at least made it to store shelves.
    the GBC port of Cannon Fodder is another example worth noting, as it featured a full (non-interactive) FMV as an intro using similar techniques.
