Another day, another new GOG release for your DRM free fans to pick up your gamepad for. They now have the super retro TANGLEWOOD available with Linux support.

The incredibly interesting thing about TANGLEWOOD is how it was made. It's not your ordinary retro-inspired game, it was made very much like the classics "programmed in pure 68000 assembly language, using original development tools and processes from the 1990s".

A real 16-bit game, created for and playable on genuine SEGA consoles

Mixes fast-paced 2D platforming action with puzzles, special abilities, tricks and traps

28 challenging levels spanning 8 story chapters

Lovingly crafted characters and fluid animations

Original soundtrack by freezedream, authored specially for the Mega Drive's sound processors

Time of day cycle, influencing the types of enemies encountered

Collectables, achievements and secrets
