Controls: -Keep START pressed to access the status/map screen -Press START to change the secondary weapon (when at least 2 are available) -A button to shoot the plasma rifle -B button to jump -C button to use the secondary weapon
Life on Mars: Genesis is a "MetroidVania", (a mix between Metroid and Castlevania - Symphony of the night) where you can freely explore the map, acquire new skills (double jump, run...) that will help you explore even more areas of the map, acquire and upgrade new weapons (grenade launcher, flamethrower), increase the capacity of your shield (health) and your power generator (stamina), etc.
This game is a reimagined adaptation of our previous release "Life on Mars" for the MSX2 computer and "Life on Mars Remake" for PC on Steam. The setting is a bit like "Aliens" and other classic 80's sci-fi movies:
A scientific colony was established on Mars and frozen life was found in the Martian ice, a bacterium. Shortly afterward, Earth lost contact with the colony. 9 months later, a ship from Earth finally reached Mars and a technician was sent to repair the communications array. Playing as said technician, you must find out what happened to the colony.
You can now pre-order the game at a reduced launch price on our online store (pre-orders for Japan will be handled by BEEP Akihabara):
The first pre-order batch will last until October 1st. Everyone who pre-orders the game during the first batch (before October 1st.) will be included in the special thanks section of the game manual.
The estimated release/shipping date is November/December of this year (2022). Shipments will be made in order of payment and will last for 2 months.
If you still don't have our previous Genesis/Megadrive game: "Metal Dragon" you can include it in the pre-order so you will save on shipping costs ^_^

Check the "Retro Gamer Boy" review of the demo with Sega Mega-CD quality music on youtube:
"The Secret of the Four Winds" is a Japanese-style action role-playing game (in development) that we have been working on for years. This game took more work, time and resources than Metal Dragon, Life on Mars and Life on Earth COMBINED.
The cartridge contains a custom board with an audio enhancement chip that offers the possibility to enjoy the game with Sega CD / Mega-CD music quality (No actual Sega CD / Mega-CD is required). This game will make use of that audio chip but it can also be played with the console's original audio if desired.
This is just the very beginning of the game. Further on the player will control 3 different characters at the same time (the player can control any of the 3 characters at any time and the other characters will be controlled by the CPU). The player can give orders and priorities to the other characters at any time so the companions do what we need them to do. The game-play is deep, with some strategy and tactics, character development at will (grow a given character as a tank or as an attacker or healer, etc.). The story also begins simple and quite typical, but it will evolve and change quite a lot. The decisions you make during the game will have consequences, etc.
The game should take around 20 to 30 hours to finish (depending on the player) and it has re-playability value since your choices will slightly change some parts of the story and ending.
We expect shipments will begin on early 2025.

"El Secreto de los Cuatro Vientos" es un juego de rol de acción de estilo japonés en el que llevamos años trabajando. Este juego requirió más trabajo, tiempo y recursos que Metal Dragon, Life on Mars y Life on Earth JUNTOS.
El cartucho contiene una placa personalizada con un chip de mejora de audio que ofrece la posibilidad de disfrutar del juego con calidad de música Sega CD/Mega-CD (no se requiere Sega CD/Mega-CD real). Este juego hará uso de ese chip de audio pero también se puede jugar con el audio original de la consola si se desea.

Este es sólo el comienzo del juego. Más adelante, el jugador controlará 3 personajes diferentes al mismo tiempo (el jugador puede controlar cualquiera de los 3 personajes en cualquier momento y los otros personajes serán controlados por la CPU). El jugador puede dar órdenes y prioridades a los demás personajes en cualquier momento para que los compañeros hagan lo que necesitamos que hagan. El juego es profundo, con algo de estrategia y táctica, desarrollo del personaje a voluntad (hacer crecer un personaje determinado como tanque o como atacante o sanador, etc.). La historia también empieza sencilla y bastante típica, pero irá evolucionando y cambiando bastante. Las decisiones que tomes durante el juego tendrán consecuencias, etc.
El juego debería durar entre 20 y 30 horas (dependiendo del jugador) y tiene valor de rejugabilidad ya que tus elecciones cambiarán ligeramente algunas partes de la historia y del final.

"Life on Earth: Reimagined" is our third game for the Sega Genesis / Megadrive. It is a spin-off of the top seller: "Life on Mars: Genesis". It is based on our 2017 MSX2 game of the same name but it has been massively improved in all aspects.
The game is an action-packed mix of Contra, Shinobi 3 and Rolling Thunder, on a Cyberpunk setting. The game has 3 difficulty settings for the standard game mode and 2 additional game modes: -Arcade: With the Contra/Sunset riders rules of 1 hit=death, but you respawn where you died and you have infinite ammo. -Heroic: Gunstar heroes rules: 1 life but lots of HP, but the enemies as well. Infinite ammo.
The soundtrack is being composed by the amazing composer: SAVAGED REGIME (Xenocrisis, AsteBros)
You can pre-order at a reduced pre-order price here:
-Region free cartridge (works on cosnoles from USA, Europe and Japan) -Box with reversible cover -Full color instruction manual -Several postcards
To be released and shipped on Fall 2023. The first pre-order batch will last a couple of months or 3. Those who pre-order the game during the first batch will appear on the special thanks section of the game manual in order of payment. Shipments will also be shipped in order of payment. If you purchase several games at once you will save on shipping costs, and we will ship all the games together.
More videos will be released during the pre-order period.
Here you can see an awesome Retro gamer Boy review of the demo:
Controls (swappable): -A button to shot your weapon. Some weapons have auto-fire. When an enemy is close enough, the character will perform a physical attack.
-B button to jump. UP direction and B button to perform a long jump. Wile jumping, press down or down and right or left and press the jump button again to perform a flying kick attack on that direction.
-C button to perform physical attacks.
-X,Y,Z buttons to select among 3 special weapons.
-START button to change weapons. Keep START pressed to pause the game.
Quickly press right or left twice to start running. Press any attack button to perform a charge attack.
The game is difficult to master at first since you need to use all these skills in order to really master the game, so keep experimenting.
We hope you like it!

kai-magazine-software.fwscart.com/browse/cat4398490_555342.aspxThe Sorrow of Gadhlan Thur (Kai Magazine) for Intellivision: Cartridges have finally arrived!Kai Magazine2022-09-29 | UPDATE: This game was actually finished 2 years ago but due to the Intellivision cartridge shortage we were unable to deliver it and make more copys until now. The cartridges have finally arrived! Limited second batch of just 45 units, to be shipped by the end of October.
“The Sorrow of Gadhlan’ Thur” (Kai Magazine) for Intellivision.
Here you can see a video of the game from the beginning, and near the end of the video you can see 2 more advanced areas where the player has more items and abilities. The video does not look nearly as smooth as the real thing, so don’t get scared by the lack of smoothness here.
Hello, I am Oscar Kenneth, from Kai Magazine Software (John Hassink, Mighel Angel Jimenez, Victor Sanchez and me), the developers of Ninja Odyssey,TNT Cowboy,A.F.: Anthropomorphic Force, A Tale of Dragons and Swords and Star Mercenary for Intellivision (Among many other games for other systems such as MSX2 and PC).
The Sorrow of Gadhlan’ Thur is the first «Metroidvania» game for the Intellivision. The «Metroidvania» genre was born in the 90’s and it is tremendously popular these days. This side-view action RPG genre is a mixture of «Metroid» elements and «Calstlevania Symphony of the Night» elements where the player explores an open world and he finds objects which will grant him the ability to reach places he could not reach before, therefore expanding the bounds of the world he can explore. Usually the main character begins as a weak character and as the game advances he becomes stronger and has better equipment and new abilities that will allow him to explore further and to defeat stronger foes.
The Sorrow of Gadhlan’ Thur for Intellivision includes all these elements and more. It is a carefully balanced mixture between Castlevania: Simon’s quest, Cadash, Zelda 2 and many other games.
-Explore a huge open world and find powerful ancient relics. -Find new towns where you can save your progress and upgrade your equipment. -Explore dungeons and temples from a forgotten civilization. -Increase your fighting skills and abilities to engage smart and challenging enemies with an artificial intelligence never seen before on Intellivision. -Take advantage of the environment and sneak by your enemies by staying outside of their field of view. -Use throwing weapons to get rid of the most aggressive enemies before they can come close to you.
Game Features: -Different animated backgrounds, giving a more immersive experience to the player. -Enemies and objects will remain active even when outside the view screen thus increasing the game-play area twice the screen area. (This feature is commonly found only on 16bit video-games since the late 80’s and 90’s). -Quickly and easily save your progress in the game cartridge. -High quality package with a very nice plastic box, a very high resolution cover and a big, high quality game manual. -Beautiful cover art by Mighel Angel Jimenez (as usual) -Nice and catchy in-game background music by John Hassink (as usual) -Story written by Victor Sanchez and me.
We started this project on summer 2019, after finishing and publishing the MSX2 version. It took twice the time and effort to complete than any other Intellivision game we made before. An incredible amount of hours and hours of optimization and coding went into this game. I did not stop optimizing the code and re-assigning the memory assets until we were able to include everything we wanted to include.
This time, we will self publish this game with the help of the Intellivision community (you, guys ^_^) as we always did before in the MSX community and PC. This way the game can have as much development time as we want and we can deliver it with the package quality we think it deserves.
Very Special thanks: Joe Zbiciak Oscar Toledo Arturo Ragozinni And you guys, for your support!Pre-order trailer of Life on Mars - Genesis - A Metroidvania for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive.Kai Magazine2022-08-02 | Playable demo download link:
Controls: -Keep START pressed to access the status/map screen -Kress START to change the secondary weapon (when at least 2 are available) -A button to shoot the plasma rifle -B button to jump -C button to use the secondary weapon
Life on Mars: Genesis is a "MetroidVania", (a mix between Metroid and Castlevania - Symphony of the night) where you can freely explore the map, acquire new skills (double jump, run...) that will help you explore even more areas of the map, acquire and upgrade new weapons (grenade launcher, flamethrower), increase the capacity of your shield (health) and your power generator (stamina), etc.
This game is a reimagined adaptation of our previous release "Life on Mars" for the MSX2 computer and "Life on Mars Remake" for PC on Steam. The setting is a bit like "Aliens" and other classic 80's sci-fi movies:
A scientific colony was established on Mars and frozen life was found in the Martian ice, a bacterium. Shortly afterward, Earth lost contact with the colony. 9 months later, a ship from Earth finally reached Mars and a technician was sent to repair the communications array. Playing as said technician, you must find out what happened to the colony.
You can now pre-order the game at a reduced launch price on our online store (pre-orders for Japan will be handled by BEEP Akihabara):
The first pre-order batch will last until October 1st. Everyone who pre-orders the game during the first batch (before October 1st.) will be included in the special thanks section of the game manual.
The estimated release/shipping date is November/December of this year (2022). Shipments will be made in order of payment and will last for 2 months.

All the people who pre-orders this game will be included in the Special Thanks section of the manual (unless they state otherwise).
The pre-order will last a month (unless pre-orders keep coming). Once the pre-order is concluded we will order all the necessary materials and once they arrive we will start manufacturing all the physical copy’s and we will begin the shipments.
Shipments should begin between mid-December and mid-January, depending on when all the necessary materials arrive.
The shipments will last for at least 1 month, maybe 2 (depending on the volume of pre-orders).
The pre-orders will be sent in order of payment.
This video shows the intro and first minutes of game-play of Metal Dragon, a port to the Genesis / Megadrive of our latest game, with many improvements and extras. Work in progress. Some things might change in the final version. The game is a parody of some warlike games from the 80's and 90's that we love. You will see it has strong influences on Mercs, Desert Assault, Metal Gear and other games. Please don't take this game too seriously, we made the original one just for fun and we made it like that because we wanted to. It had an unexpected great success on the original system (it has very stiff hardware requirements for that system) and we thought a Genesis / Megadrive version would look nice and perhaps you guys would like it too.
We hope you guys like it!

00:00 Intro 01:47 New game 03:01 Stage 1-1 05:30 Stage 1-2Metal Dragon (Kai Magazine) for the MSX system with v9990Kai Magazine2021-04-22 | The pre-order for Metal Dragon (Kai Magazine 2021) begins (until 05-22-2021)
Please read all the information regarding hardware and compatibility requirements before purchasing.
(The game is not completely finished and we still need to beta-test, fix some bugs and polish some minor details).
Metal Dragon is a parodic "Run & Gun" game based on war games from the 1980s. We have tried to recreate the 80s arcade experience as much as possible. The parodic elements are not intended to insult or belittle the original works.
This game requires the v9990 graphics hardware upgrade (Power graph, gfx9000, video9000). It is not made in a video game mode (P1, 61 colors) but it is developed in a much slower graphic mode but offers 256 fixed colors (identical to the msx2’s screen 8 but faster and with 4 times more vram) Since this graphics mode is much slower, we need a more powerful CPU to complete all tasks on time for each frame. For this reason the game has been designed for a CPU with TURBO so that it runs at the original speed: -Panasonic 2+ -One Chip MSX upgraded to 2+ with turbo -Zemmix neo and all its variants/clones -Panasonic Turbo-R
The game runs on non-turbo z80 computers but runs 33% slower (below is a video of non-turbo z80 performance). We decided to leave non-turbo PC compatibility / functionality open in case someone doesn't mind playing it slower, but the game is designed for Turbo CPU PCs.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
CPU: To play at 100% speed: -Panasonic 2+ -One Chip upgraded to 2+ with turbo -Zemmix neo and all its variants - Panasonic Turbo-R
Supports non-turbo CPU but the game will run slower.
Video: Any cartridge with the V9990 video chip (Powergraph, gfx9000, video9000 and any of their compatible clones)
Music: -opl4 (moonsound and any of its clones) WITH AT LEAST 512Kb of ram for the samples. -FM PAC (MSX Music) both internal and external -Music Module (Msx Audio) -FM PAC + Music Module both at the same time.
RAM: The game requires 128Kb of ram BUT the game cartridge includes a RAM memory upgrade that is compatible with turbo modes (most RAM upgrades are not compatible with turbo modes and cause the computer to crash when it enters turbo mode and accesses the expanded ram). Thus, with the original cartridge, any msx user who only has 64Kb will be able to play the game.
COMPATIBILITY: MSX2 or higher.
THE PRE-PURCHASE: This game uses a special cartridge with much more capacity than the usual 2048Kb that we usually use. It also includes a memory expansion compatible with cpus with Turbo for users who only have 64Kb on their MSX. That means that the price that the cartridge costs us is higher than usual. The game box is fitted with a high-quality, custom-made, factory-made foam holder, providing an ideal, high-quality cartridge holder. These are additional costs that are reflected in the price of the game. Therefore, the price of the game in the pre-purchase period is 48 euros + shipping (going to 55 euros after the pre-purchase if there is any unit available).
Since making these cartridges and this foam box holder cannot be done in small runs, it is highly unlikely that we will make a second run. (I repeat that for us the goal of making this game is not to sell many units, we do it for fun.)
All those who participate in the pre-purchase will be included in the special thanks section of the manual (in order of payment) unless they tell us otherwise (if you do not want to appear on the list of special thanks, please contact us).
The pre-purchase will last one month, from today until 05-22-2021. Once the pre-purchase is finished, we will order the necessary materials and have the manuals printed and assembled with your names.
We expect shipments to begin in the middle or end of June, but with the times that run can arise unexpected, so please be understanding. Shipments will also be made in payment order.
Those interested can make the pre-purchase in our online store. All the most common payment methods are accepted (card, paypal).

-Story: Victor Sanchez, Oscar KennethStar Mercenary for Intellivision (Kai Magazine / Elektronite) 24 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay.Kai Magazine2020-09-22 | This is a 24 minutes long of uninterrupted, uncensored game-play video of the upcoming 5th Kai Magazine game for Intellivision: Star Mercenary, produced and published by Elektronite.
Please watch this video at HD 60FPS so the scroll looks smoother. Even watching it at 60 FPS, the video will not show how smooth the game really is on the original Intellivision due to emulator/monitor synchronization/video-capture synchronization issues.
This game uses Intellivoice (optionally) and plays high quality custom sampled voices. Thank you very much to Joe Zbiciak for making this possible!
This game is finished and it will soon begin the beta-testing process, so there can be some small variations and text corrections in the final version.
If you watch all the video carefully you will see how the planets closer to the Separatists capital have better defenses and bigger star bases, how important is to level up the engine and the Afterburner in order to dodge the MK2 turret bullets which become faster and more frequent and to avoid the enemy fighters chasing you and get on a better position to shot them down so you have better chances in a dogfight, how important is to upgrade the power of your weapons so you can destroy the more resilient enemy fighters easily so you don't get your ass spanked, etc.
If you don't want to watch the entire video and you just skip parts of it, you will see how at the beginning everything moves slower and everything is quieter, and as the video advances, you will see faster bullets, more fighters, turrets and explosions, and the player's ship is also faster and more powerful as it is improved and upgraded in the star bases.
About the game:
The game is a space shooter RPG, meaning that at the beginning you will start with a slow, under-powered ship and as you earn money by defeating enemies and accomplishing missions you will be able to upgrade your ship so you can engage in harder missions.
You will start at the main base where you can select your next mission, upgrade your ship, see the ship's status and save your game progress.
The star map will show you the sectors where you can travel to in black background and the sectors you cannot travel to in blue.
The allied bases and planets will be shown in green colors while the enemy bases will be shown in red/orange and the enemy planets in their natural colors (blue/green for example).
Select an allied base or planet in order to land in it and upgrade your ship, see the ship's status and save your game progress.
Select an enemy base or planet to begin an attack at its defenses so the assault ground team can capture it. In order to complete your mission and capture the base or planet, you will have to defeat all its air defenses and a certain amount of structures or turrets depending on the difficulty level you selected when you started a new game.
Normal: You must destroy at least 90% of the structures and turrets. Hard: You must destroy at least 95% of the structures and turrets. Insane: You must destroy all the structures and turrets.
The remaining amount of objectives to destroy in order to complete the minimum percentage will be shown in the pause/status screen which can be accessed during game-play by pressing the left lower side button.
-Assaulting bases and planets-
The afterburner is a key element during the game since it will allow you to evade a storm of bullets going to your direction and also evade the enemy fighters and allow you to relocate your ship in a position that gives you the advantage in a dog fight, so it is best to learn how to use it the sooner the better.
The afterburner will last just for a few seconds but it will slowly reload over time. You can check the afterburner load, your shield strength and everything else on the pause/status screen.
The afterburner will last longer if you upgrade it, and it will reload faster if you upgrade the engine.
The mission will end if your shield strength reaches zero or if all your objectives have been completed. In both cases your ship will automatically jump into hyperspace and leave the area. You will then see a mission status screen showing your accomplishments.
If the mission was a failure you will return to the main base. If it was a success, you will dock on the captured base or planet you assaulted.
This means your ship will never be destroyed and you will earn money on every mission by destroying enemies and structures even if the mission failed, so even if you are defeated over and over, you will slowly increase your funds and you will be able to upgrade your ship further.
As you engage in harder missions, enemy fighters will be more resilient and will need more shots to be destroyed, so don't forget to upgrade your weapons. Turrets will shot more frequently and faster projectiles as well, so upgrade your shields as well.

Player for this video: Victor SanchezTNT Cowboy Remake (Promo video 1) for Intellivision Amico or Atari VCS?Kai Magazine2020-04-12 | Hi guys! How are you all doing? I hope you all are OK in these hard times. The game has the same depth and fun as the original: A "Final Fantasy" kind of game (where you can level up your character, accept quests, earn money, build your reputation, buy abilities and better equipment, etc) but instead of boring turn based combats, you get to blow up all those mutant beasts and undead creatures with TNT charges in real time! Regardless of this last statement, it is family friendly, it is aimed for all ages. The game will also have new features such as multiplayer!
Many graphics and elements still need to be improved, such as the main character itself and some background details, so the final game will probably look much better than this. We are developing the game in Unity, so it can be easily ported to any modern console or device. We are aiming the game performance to work (with different quality settings) to the following systems: -Amico -Atari VCS -Nintendo Switch -PC (Steam) Other systems might be considered in the future. Please let us know what you think about it, and for which systems would you like to see this game published in.

GAME FEATURES:
The game is a typical capcom beat'em up, but with RPG elements. This means you can repeat stages to earn more gold and experiencie. You can purchase better weapons (purchasing a better weapon increases the strenght AND THE RANGE of the weapon) and restore your health in the shops arround the province of Tarragonia. This RPG feature is not meant to artificially extend the life of the game, since the game can be beaten without dying and without repeating a single stage. This is meant for those who are not experiencied on this kind of games, so they can improve their characters and beat up the game regardless of their skills. If a player beats the game without dying and without using a password, an extra will be unlocked. The game can be played alone (1 player) or with a friend (2 players, cooperative mode). Each player can get his own password so they can save their individual progress. As a matter of fact, 2 players can meet at someone's home and bring their individual passwords and play cooperatively with their individual characters using their own passwords, so you can carry your character arround and play with it at anyone's home. Just take a picture of youw password with your cellphone. You can also fight versus the other player at any unlocked stage. Friendly fire is on, so, have fun!
The game has 2 different characters to play with (warrior and wizard) and the gameplay is different with each of them. The pre-purchase version includes an exclusive third character: the princess, which is basically like the warrior, but in female version.
The game includes 9 stages and 2 unlockable secret areas. Once unlocked, you can save this achievment with your password.
