While intended to allow creation of side scrolling beat em’ ups like Double Dragon or Final Fight, the engine is also capable of replicating Shumps, RPGs, platformers and the like. A built in scripting engine allows authors to take it even further, making imagination the only real limit. See www.chronocrash.com for more details and to download the latest versions.
