If you're following me on X / Twitter (@memory_fallen) for my posts about reverse engineering retro games, check out RINGS OF SATURN, my Substack blog. Each week I take apart a different game and report my findings.
This week's main article is about Astal for Sega Saturn.
It's the 30th anniversary of this game's release, so I decided to take a look at what might be hiding in its game code.
I found some cool leftovers from development, including an alternate title screen that was probably used in prototype versions. It has a better level select and sound test than the ones that are normally accessible.
Check out the details here!
There's also a bonus article this week that covers Tom and Jerry in "Fists of Furry" for Nintendo 64.
This Power Stone-like fighting game has a long lost cheat code for unlocking the hidden characters and bonus mode. I found it!
Interestingly, another game from the same studio reuses the screens from this game. All of the details are in the writeup.
There are lots more reverse engineering articles in the archive. What games should I be looking at? Tell me, and I might add them to my list.
