What a Shmup! A Little History and a Lot of Bullets.



Of all the trends shaping today's gaming landscape, there's one that's really got me by the wallet, and I've decided to call it "retrofitting", because I'm just so clever. Apply new technology to an aged product, and you get a game like Sine Mora, the game I'm here to gush talk about. Before we get to that, though, I want to look briefly at what makes this game so unexpected, miraculous almost. There's a history here and it starts with the launch of Sony's Playstation, the brave gray hero who would usher in a new age.
