Retro City Rampage merch galore, free and otherwise
di Jonathan Holmes
I just got a new preview build of
Retro City Rampage a few days ago, and it's so packed with new stuff, I can hardly believe it. Some of you may have written the game off as a "80's kid" only affair, but you'd be wrong. The 80's stuff is definitely in there, but the game also features appearances from modern day videogame characters, 1960's television icons, 90's cult movie heroes,
funny looking videogame bloggers, and so much more. You can get a glance at a few of these references in the new downloadable
Retro City Rampage poster that was released today. You can grab the
full poster here, along with a digital version of the Sega Master System-inspired
Retro City Rampage box art, and a bunch of other cool stuff.
Free stuff is great and all, but if you really want to experience full-on
Retro City Rampage merchandise euphoria, you'll have to drop a little coin. VBlank games has teamed with the guys at FanGamer.com (co-creators of the
Mother 3 translation patch and
handbook) to create a special
Retro City Rampage pre-release combo pack; a physical print of the poster above, two t-shirts, and button set, all for a measly $40.
As soon as I get paid, I'm all over this. Supporting Fan Gamer and Vblank just feels good. Getting a t-shirt and a button that prominently features the NES Zapper is just the icing on the cake.
