It gives me great pleasure to announce the new NES homebrew game from Retrotainment Games, “Haunted: Halloween ’86 (The Curse of Possum Hollow).” It is the sequel to our first game that we released last year which is still available on cartridge in both Classic Gray and Zombie Green.
The Kickstarter for our new 8-Bit, Platforming, Beat 'em Up adventure game is ending soon but there is still time to get in on the action and support our next project.

So what's new for '86 that makes this game more righteous than our first game? Well here are some details…
· Tag Team Technology:
A brand new technological marvel that allows you to now play as Donny or Tami and take advantage of their individual strengths. They work as a team by traveling together and staying by each other's side. Tag them in and out throughout the game but keep them both alive!
· Radicool New Moves:
Donny has a bunch of bitchin' new moves to go along with his original punching attacks. Tami kicks butt, literally. Her feet are fierce and she doesn't take crap from any hosers or wannabes. They both have a standard combo of attack moves and as they make their way through Possum Hollow they'll acquire special moves of your choosing. Some are defensive, some are evasive and some are powerful attacks. If you pay close attention and learn the secrets of Possum Hollow these two can be powered up to the point of total bit-kicking, bad asses!
· Expanded Story Line:
Donny and Tami will be taken to parts of Possum Hollow that they've never been to before where they'll learn secrets of the town's past that have been buried beneath the surface for decades. There are clues around every corner and mysteries that must be solved if they hope to stop Harry and his haunted henchmen.
· New Enemies:
Harry is up to his old tricks again but this time he's increased his haunting powers. Some old wasteoids will return but in '86 there will be even more deadly haunts to battle and obstacles to avoid.
· Totally New Environments:
Possum Hollow has been around for hundreds of years and there are many dark places where evil can fester. Donny and Tami will see them all... Dungeons, Abandoned Mine Shafts, Barges, Trains, Orchards, Caves and the depths of the Town Hall basement were new light will be shed on old mysteries.
· Revolutionary Graphics:
The wizards at Retrotainment Games have conjured up some breath-taking new graphics that push the limits of the hardware. They're so life-like you'll think you're actually there!
· Interactive Background Objects:
Break your way through rocks, crates and other destructible objects; you may even find something hidden inside.
· Smashable Objects:
Pick up and smash crates to see what's inside or use them as weapons by hurling them at enemies. Rumor has it that a special power up will give you the chance to seek revenge on those heinous Poison Pumpkins; it's like a siamese dream...
· Throwable Objects:
Certain enemies may be too dangerous to get close to, it's a good things there's small rocks and crab apples throughout Possum Hollow that can be whipped at them from a distance.
This thread will be used to provide updates and hopefully keep things organized about our upcoming game that we plan to have out Fall of 1986. I mean, 2016. Sorry, we are stuck in the past.
