Infinity for GBC alongside its source code has been released in mostly the same state it was back in 2001. The OST for this game is great and it always appeared promising in terms of being a last hurrah for RPGs on the GBC.

The game is in mostly the same state as it was when we stopped developing it in 2001, but with some recent polishing (bugfixes, missing assets added, typos corrected, etc). The ROM is configured to end about a quarter of the way through, before you encounter any incomplete areas, and thus we've labeled it as a preview...

...We estimate that Infinity is around 90% complete. The game was developed out of order so it's not the last 10% that is missing, but rather a bunch of parts throughout (this is why the preview ends fairly early on). Our plan is to finish the game eventually, but given how many years it has been, we can't make any guarantees. We've made the source code available to ensure that Infinity can live on regardless of what we do. Maybe if we don't finish the game anytime soon, someone else can. Or maybe what's playable can be ported to other platforms. We hope retrogamers will enjoy this little bit of history.

I'm amazed that they actually released the ROM after all the years. Even more amazing is that they released the source code for it. I've yet to see someone play this game, but it would be nice to see a let's play/walkthrough of what was done of this game.

It's easily one of the most sought after canned games, and it gives me more hope that several more unreleased games and prototypes might see the light of day. I've been waiting to play this for so long, ever since I first saw the trailer on YT in 2007. It's been a personal holy grail for me, and it's finally here.

Huge, heartful thanks to those who worked on the game and I am grateful for what you have given the community.

The game looks gorgeous. Would be awesome if it gets completed someday. Thank you to the creators that made it possible.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
