The gaming preservation publisher VGNYsoft is partnering with Fatpug Studio for a lineup of physical Rick Henderson releases. Originally developed in 2021, Rick Henderson is a retro throwback to the era of arcade shoot-’em-ups. Featuring endless replay value, players will battle through five enemy factions and their commanding bosses, upgrading their ship to adapt and survive in chaotic encounters. Check out VGNYsoft’s release trailer to see the game in action.
Rick Henderson has players blasting through more than 40 enemy types and 15 boss variants while piloting one of three unique ships, each equipped with exclusive armaments. The arsenal expands further with the ability to switch between Bullet, Energy, and Missile-based weapons for maximum offensive strategies. Every playthrough delivers fresh challenges with randomly arranged enemy swarms, while both Standard and Hard modes provide accessibility options for newcomers and veteran gamers. Additionally, accessibility options include a one-color mode designed for visually impaired players. The game is presented in nostalgic 16-bit pixel art, accompanied by an electrifying synthwave soundtrack.
VGNYsoft has worked with Fatpug Studio for over a year on each project, creating a variety of distinctive physical editions. Each release contains a different number of extra features, with the Elite Edition and Extra Elite Edition featuring a CD-sized vinyl record.
