Gaming on a Pi with a mouse for game Shattered Pixel Dungon

  The style is very much 1990s style of dungeon games but with a bit of better looks here, I would guess it's like 8 bit one here maybe bit higher bit here. You will see  before the proper game a very high-quality background that does show you how much graphics the Pi can support gameplay wise.
