From its whiz-bang tone to its retro gaming aesthetics to its cameos (Kevin Smith, Wil Wheaton), Max Reload And The Nether Blasters clearly knows its audience. Scott Conditt and Jeremy Tremp’s scrappy sci-fi indie drops later this summer, and today they’ve offered the first look at its cursed ColecoVision game.
That’s right: The only known copy of a ColecoVision title called Nether Dungeon unleashes an ancient, ghoul-heavy curse when a small-town game store clerk dusts off the cartridge, leaving him and his pals the only hope humanity has of not succumbing to an 8-bit apocalypse.
