Red Hot Retro Hotness
I’m sure many of you remember the good old days of the original Gameboy. That grey brick of wonder. Those tones of green. The tinny bleep bloop soundtracks. Ah, those were the days.
Rooster Teeth Games is excited to present Super Rad Raygun!
Check out their Steam page here!
Super Rad Raygun is the story of a robot named Rad who finds himself in the middle of the American-Russian Cold War conflict in the year 198x. The game, in ultra sharp 144p resolution graphics and 4 unique shades of monochrome off-green, takes a tongue-in-cheek look back to the pop culture and politics of that era as Rad follows the orders of President Ronald Reagan and slowly learns that politics are a little more complicated than they seem.
Super Rad Raygun is a follow-up to the Xbox Live Indie Game, Rad Raygun. Rad Raygun must save the 1980s from communist robots! While the original Rad Raygun had only five levels and limited upgrades, Super Rad Raygun includes over twenty levels, a new upgrade system, and a limited-energy mechanic.
Saving the ‘80s from communist robots sounds like it will require a helidrop into the jungle!
Check!
Heck, we might need to take this underground!
Double check!
What about battles in space?
Duh! Like a game set in in the year 198X wasn’t going to have space battles.
Super Rad Raygun is from our friends a Tru Fun Entertainment. Being brought to us by a passionate team of two, this labor of love makes countless nods to that colorful themes of the 1980s. From video games, to music, to pop culture, Super Rad Raygun will hit you hard in the nostalgia bone. Even the cover art is an homage to one of the game’s old school gaming inspirations.
Super Rad Raygun is the first game to launch under the Rooster Teeth Games publishing banner. There will be more in the future, but for now, check out and support this great retro platformer! Game on!
Rooster Teeth Extra Life
While this was not a RWBY related post, we’re proud of the Tru Fun crew and wanted to share our excitement with all of you. However, this Saturday at 8AM CST, Rooster Teeth will be kicking off their annual Extra Life event. Rooster Teeth Games has been waiting for this event to share a new bit of RWBY: Grimm Eclipse news. The RT Games crew should be on around noon (CST), but, if you’re familiar with how RT rolls with these events, that time slot could change.
Check out the Rooster Teeth Extra Life page and join up. We will have signed RWBY:GE posters, signed JNPR scripts, and a one-of-a-kind, uncut sheet of Million Dollars But,...The Game cards (signed by the game and show teams).
Also, it IS election day here in the United States. Aside from helping defeat communist robots, Rad Raygun would love it if you made it out to vote.
Bleep Bloop,
Rooster Teeth Games
