To The Moon

Can a 16-bit game be cinematic and haunting?  To The Moon is sure trying.  This new title from indie developer Free Bird Games combines the sweeping (melo)drama of Asian storytelling with the graphics of A Link to the Past era Zelda and the mind exploration of Michel Gondry.  And I like the recipe a lot.  So if you’ve ever wanted to play the first five minutes of Up! – you know, the tear-jerking part – then this is the game for you!
