I have noticed a great urge for new-made NES games as of lately, and not that I mind that. On the contrary, I welcome 8-bit games with open arms. Well, at least as long as the game (s) in question are really good. And I think it´s safe to say that Retrotainment Games 8-bit action/platformer/horror game “Haunted Halloween” (85 and 86) is a perfect example of that. So I have to say that I enjoyed Paul Acevedo´s (Windows Central) PAX East interview with Thomas Cipollone (Retrotainment Games) quite a bit. Especially the part about “Haunted Halloween 85” coming to Steam. Yep, that´s correct. We will soon (hopefully) be able to download and play the game via Steam. And judging by the comments on the game´s Steam page, Gamers seem to love the game (quite a lot of people got the chance to play on-site at PAX East. And they love HH85).

As for here and now though, please enjoy the PAX East interview with Retrotainment Games Thomas Cipollone!
