About the game

Dating from 1993, Startling Odyssey for TurboGrafx CD is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the 16-bit golden age.

By 1993 the landscape around releases like this was set — bigger sprites, richer sound and fierce console rivalries pushed 2D craft to its peak. Reading Startling Odyssey against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the 16-bit golden age produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and bigger sprites, richer sound and fierce console rivalries pushed 2D craft to its peak. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
