Thalamus is back on the stage and brings us Hunter's Moon Remastered - an overhauled version of an unusual shmup classic!



Introduction

Originally released in 1987, Hunter's Moon is a strategic shoot 'em up set in deep space. Beautifully presented and thoughtfully designed, the game became an instant classic thanks to its measured balance of strategic planning and psychotic blasting. Boasting one of the earliest uses of procedurally-generated content in a computer game, Hunter's Moon pushed the boundaries of the genre and helped redefine what a shoot 'em up could be.

Hunter’s Moon Remastered is a fully remastered, overhauled, and updated version of the seminal C64 shoot ‘em up. The game has been remastered for C64 cartridge and boasts a host of amazing new features including over 50 new levels, 5 new star systems, new level types, new music, new playing modes, stunning intro and outro sequences, built-in level editor, and enhanced presentation including foreign language support.

Physical Edition

Hunter's Moon Remastered has been developed exclusively for the GMod2 cartridge (that's the cartridge format developed for Sam's Journey), so the physical version is the only way to play the game on a real C64 - it is not currently possible to play the game using a 1541 Ultimate, Easyflash or SD2IEC.

The basic edition of the game comes in a clamshell case (RGCD style) that includes the following:

Game cartridge with save facility

Multi-language manual with illustrations from Oliver Frey

Hunter's Moon postcard

Thalamus Sticker

The deluxe edition also includes:

Original Hunter's Moon pin badges (while stocks last - they are strictly limited and will not be reproduced when sold out!)

Original Hunter's Moon sleeve

The digital version of this game is NOT included and can be bought separately from the itch.io page of Thalamus Digital. It can be played with the Vice 3.1 emulator on Windows or Mac (not on a C64 or mini)
