@urizen123 Well one of the first things completed using TAG was a demo of StarFox, just about one level of it. It ran about 10 times faster, and began to get re-worked into a game called ARL, (Acceptable Rate of Loss). This became more like Afterburner as time went on, but though advertising and boxes were prepared for it, we never finished or released it. Cobalt Seed is really a cross between Space Harrier and Rtype, (powerups, beam weopon etc.) though asthetics were nicked from Tempest 2000

@TeamAndromeda Hey, this is one of mine! the title musak was always my favourite out of all the tracks I wrote. Really happy with the cut scenes and stuff. Mind you, I will have to try and get a vid posted showing all the levels, especially level 4, (my favourite :)). So good to hear this again!

Holy Crap , thats really impressive , and the music yet again is brilliant !. It looks like the people who made this were fans of Slipheed to Soul Star :)

Awesome game! Great cutscenes, fantastic music!

Reminds me a lot of the first Star Fox game on the SNES - this has much better graphics, though.
