MegaBox Reloaded is a new homebrew puzzle adventure game that’s been released both digitally and physically for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.
But the game’s origins go even deeper into retro history than Sega’s 16-bit console, because MegaBox Reloaded actually has 8-bit origins, being based on the 8-bit ZX Spectrum Box homebrew series of games, which began with the game Box, which was originally released by Beyker Soft in 2007.
But MegaBox Reloaded isn’t a simple straight port of the original ZX Spectrum Box games, with the game’s publisher PlayonRetro saying that: “rather than simply reproducing the original games, MegaBox Reloaded takes their concept and spirit into a new generation, expanding the experience and rebuilding it specifically for the SEGA Mega Drive/ Genesis,” adding that: the game combines “its 8-bit roots with a completely new 16-bit presentation.”
Features of MegaBox Reloaded include: a two-player mode, in which players take alternating turns; alternative routes to take; an in-game achievement system; game saves; and a choice of five languages: Spanish, English, French, German, and Italian.
MegaBox Reloaded is available now as a digital download on a name-you-own-price basis from itch.io, or as a physical boxed Genesis/Mega Drive cartridge from HobbyRetro priced at 49,90 €.
