if only itch.io would add NES/Famicom, Mega Drive/Genesis, SFC/SNES to the list of platforms. i suggested it in the forums, and a moderator had a hissy fit to the point i deleted the thread. x_x

just picked up the game. LOVED the demo. looking forward to playing!

Even something like Homebrew for the platform would go a long way. The tag exists, but platform would probably help visibility more.

There are all sorts of consoles and retro PCs with homebrew ROMS on itch.io, but they aren't always easy to find.

Homebrew would be too broad in my opinion. a subsection called 'Vintage Systems' that you could expand to all the old PCs, and Game consoles.

tags are so often abused here. lost count how many 'Mega Drive' and 'NES ROM' games i've come across that have NOTHING to do with Mega Drive/Genesis/NES. then on the other side of that coin... i only found Mega Man: The Sequel Wars because someone i follow added it to their collection. criminal to miss that one.

anywho, i played Alwa's Awakening (8-bit) last night, and my save from the demo was there! guess since both ROMS are named the same my Everdrive loaded the save for it. *note i didn't load it. started anew so i can't confirm it works or not.

cheers

I have no idea how to do it, games can be tagged as "NES ROM" and they'll show up here: https://itch.io/games/tag-nes-rom

I peruse that list and filter "most recent" a lot to find new stuff.
