There are plenty of retro-style games out there, but few are brave enough to shirk the polish of modern technology and go straight for a real old-school look.

If you like your throwbacks as authentic as possible, Z-Exemplar is one to keep an eye on.

There's not much to say about gameplay yet; it's a spacey, side-scrolling shoot 'em up planned for iOS.

What it does boast, based on the screens, is a limited color palette, as well as a style reminiscent of Gradius, R-Type, and other classics.

Check out Z-Exemplar's forum thread for more info. The creator, Suminell Studios, is "still deep in development," but promises a video soon.
