I'm an old school gamer, but I'm still hip. Wait, when referring to oneself as, "Hip", does it reverse its meaning?

Hi fellow Halo fans. With ODST about to ship tomorrow I wanted to share my Halo fan game with you.

What if Halo were to have a Gameboy version? That's the idea behind the retro game "Halo: Gallant Belle/Gallant Girl". An action platform game with shooter elements otherwise known as a "Run and Gun" game.

Story:
You play as Kelly, one of the surviving Spartans from The Fall of Reach. The story takes place between the Halo novels "First Strike" and "Ghosts of Onyx".

After stumbling on a Covenant operation, Kelly must stop what could be the biggest threat to earth yet. With the help of Dr. Catherine Halsey she will explore an alien world with hidden Forerunner technology as deadly as any ring world.

Details:
Both games are for PC, but are designed to look and feel like Gameboy and Game Gear games from the early 90's. While the Gameboy version is rendered in classic monochrome green just like all original Gameboy, the Game Gear version is in full 8-Bit color.

Small touches like the offset-screen/shadow of the original Gameboy and the visuals of the Game Gear help date the game and make it feel more like you're playing on the the real classic hardware.

Both versions of the game can be scaled up to full screen for better view-ability. F4 Toggles full screen. View the Readme for more info and the controls. Works with Gamepad or Keyboard.

I hope you enjoy the game. If you're an old school gamer like me I think you'll get a kick out of it. I look forward to hearing what you think.
