HUNTDOWN: OVERTIME Announcement Trailer

Easy Trigger Games and Coffee Stain Publishing today unveiled HUNTDOWN: OVERTIME, a blood-soaked roguelite prequel to Huntdown with handcrafted pixel art and VHS era mayhem. The game puts players in control of John Sawyer during his brutal transformation from battered bounty hunter into the cybernetic killing machine from the original game.

Huntdown: Overtime delivers fast-paced run-and-gun combat inspired by VHS-era action classics. Each failed run sends players back to the operating table where flesh gets replaced with steel and weaknesses are carved away through permanent cybernetic upgrades. Whether you’ve played the original Huntdown or not, this is the moment to join the grindhouse and begin the hunt.

Key features:

  • Brutal Roguelite Loop: Hunt through procedurally-varied runs, collect bounties, die, then rebuild Sawyer stronger with permanent upgrades. Death isn’t failure – it’s evolution.
  • Branching Criminal Underworld: Kill your way down multiple paths through gang territories, wastelands, and more.
  • Explosive Arsenal: Discover firearms, melee weapons, and tactical gear during runs.
  • Handcrafted Pixel Brutality: Meticulous 16-bit pixel art meets modern lighting for that authentic early-80s aesthetic.

“OVERTIME is a very different game from the original Huntdown,” said Tommy Gustafsson, Art Director at Easy Trigger Games. “We’ve tried to capture that relentless, forward-momentum gunplay from classic action movies and modern ones like John Wick. Then we added a massive arsenal, cybernetic upgrades that reshape your playstyle, and wrapped it in a roguelite loop. The result is something we hope captures the badass spirit of 80s cinema while giving you a reason to keep hunting run after run.”

HUNTDOWN: OVERTIME is set to launch early access on Steam in 2026.

The Last Gas Station Opens for Business

The Last Gas Station, the upcoming cozy-yet-mysterious gas station simulator developed by Alawar, is launching its first playtest today! After previous ownership disappeared, you’ve suddenly found yourself as the new manager of a gas station and quaint convenience store. It’s your job to transform this lonely, defunct gas station into a roadside wonder. One important note: the previous owner disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Might be worth keeping in mind as you open up shop.

In The Last Gas Station, electric vehicles have rendered gas stations almost obsolete, and turned gas itself into a relic lost to time. It’s your job to manage and grow this old gas station and cozy store into a thriving business for weary travellers who haven’t left gas behind just yet. Manage your gas station by stocking shelves with new goodies for hungry travellers, maintain the gas pumps, and customize the interiors and exteriors to truly make it your own. However, when night falls upon your unassuming gas station, something more sinister awakens in the wilderness. Seriously, don’t go outside.

Key Features:

  • Modernize & Expand – Rip out outdated pumps, install car maintenance services like tire inflation and oil changes, and upgrade facilities to build a fully functional roadside business.
  • Set Up Shop – Stock your shelves with snacks, car supplies, and road trip essentials. Optimize layout, improve decor, and manage pricing to turn a profit.
  • Trade & Serve – Buy and restock goods, run the checkout, and keep your customers happy if a bit uneasy.
  • Survive the Night – Lock the doors and turn off the lights. Strange things happen out here after sunset… and some of them remember you.
  • Customize Everything – Design your neon signs, decorate the store, and bring new life to your forgotten little corner of the animal world.

The Last Gas Station is a narrative-driven gas station simulator with vibrant pixel graphics and vibes that quickly shift from cozy to creepy with the drop of a hat. At its core, it’s a game about concepts rendered obsolete due to time and innovation and the effort it takes to keep something alive in a world that’s already moved on.

THEQUICKSHOT II Is Available Now

Retro Games Ltd., in partnership with PLAION REPLAI, today confirmed that THEQUICKSHOT II is available now at an RRP of $39.99, bringing one of the most iconic joysticks in home-computer gaming back into players’ hands. This new joystick has been faithfully recreated and precision-engineered for modern retro play.

Watch today’s launch trailer for THEQUICKSHOT II on YouTube here:

Originally launched in the early 1980s, the QuickShot II became a staple of home-computer gaming. Now, THEQUICKSHOT II has been rebuilt to deliver the same unmistakable feel players remember, while addressing the limitations of vintage hardware with modern reliability and responsiveness.

Designed to be played, not just displayed, THEQUICKSHOT II features an all-microswitch internal design, delivering immediate, reliable inputs with distinct click points for every direction and its fire button. This ensures precise eight-way control with no dead zones or vague movement, even during the most demanding arcade-style gameplay.

The joystick includes eight action and function buttons, providing full gamepad-style functionality, alongside a rapid auto-fire switch, a defining feature of the original which has now been engineered to modern standards. Stabilizing suction cups allow for confident single-handed play, while refined ergonomics and a generous 1.8m cable make THEQUICKSHOT II ideal for contemporary gaming setups.

Faithful to the original QuickShot II’s instantly recognizable silhouette, grip, and stance, the design has been carefully preserved rather than reimagined. Developed by Retro Games Ltd., whose hardware recreations are known for their accuracy and authenticity, THEQUICKSHOT II has been designed to sit naturally alongside modern retro systems such as THEC64, THEA500, and The Spectrum.

THEQUICKSHOT II is compatible with most popular games and computer systems and is available now at Amazon, at an RRP of $39.99.
