Patreon:   / bofner   My first video game is an arcade style high score chasing game for th Sega Master System. I learned so much from this project, and this video is just a taste of what I learned and experienced while working on this. I hope to explain the more technical side of programming for old game consoles in some future videos in a way that even those with no technical knowledge will be able to understand, so look forward to those! Translator's note: Space Tonbow's title uses a a stylized romanization of the Japanese word トンボ or 蜻蛉, meaning dragonfly. Other possible romanizations could be Space Tonbo, Space Tombo or Space Tombow. ; ------------------------------------------- Support my game development by supporting Steelfinger Studios! https://steelfingerstudios.com/ Itch: https://steelfinger-studios.itch.io/ All of my footage captured on real hardware with official cartridges when possible!
