Interview: "It Was A Match Made In Heaven" - Ghostbusters: Special Edition ROM Hacker On Giving The Sega Mega Drive / Genesis Title A Better Afterlife

Time Extension

"It is still wild to think that we made all of this together across different continents". If you've been reading Time Extension for a while, you've probably seen us cover some of BillyTime!Games' ROM hacks before. Over the last decade, the self-described "retro gaming mad scientist" has lent his hacking skills to a number of fascinating projects: everything from providing optional ways to play some of your favourite (and least favourite) classic games to even creating an offline recreation of Sega Channel (Sega, TCI, and Time Warner's discontinued cable video game service).

Little Prince Tyger, currently in development at French studio Saltitude Games, is expected to launch on PC in 2027. Inspired by William Blake's 1794 poem "The Tyger", Little Prince Tyger tells the grim tale of a royal hunter - tasked by the Queen to locate her lost son, Prince Galaad - picking their way through a frightening dark fantasy environment, populated by nightmarish creatures and even scarier memories.
