MVG releases 15 year old unreleased Freefall 3050AD

So Modern Vintage Gamer does the Xbox community another favour, one in the line of many. Basically, he took the unreleased Freefall 3050AD and fixed lots of bugs, cuts enes, etc, and released it freely with the blessing of the original developer. The download link is the description over at YouTube.

I was honestly surprised to see that there was a Steam reléase of Freefall 3050 A.D., no less an unreleased XBOX version of the game. Pretty cool gift from MVG. Fun fact: Scott Le Grand, best known for his work on the elusive BattleSphere for the Atari Jaguar, worked on the original NUON release. How you may ask? It used his custom OpenGL engine for the console. This is his comment after posting on a Facebook group, where i asked him if he previously knew about this version's existence...

In a world full with lawyers and copyrights, it's really nice to see how the original creator "just" gives the OK to a really talented fan to finalize an unreleased project. Great video also, I like how MVG shows the history of the game and part of the work involved to get it up and running smoothly.

MVG is an amazing fellow, he's doing a terrific job on his youtube channel and he's always being helpful to the community. Kudos!

What a great little title to be on the console, at the very least its been freed from the Nuon!
