Over Horizon (NES PAL Compatible Game)

NINTENDO SWITCH
Over Horizon (NES PAL Compatible Game)
Strictly Limited Games

A game that most of the world never got to play is finally getting the physical release it deserved three decades ago. Over Horizon for NES, now available as a PAL compatible cartridge through Strictly Limited Games, is limited to just 500 individually numbered copies worldwide. It comes with a colorful game manual, and every copy ships in the kind of packaging that makes you want to shelve it face-forward.

Originally released in 1991 for the Famicom and only ever sold in Japan and Germany, Over Horizon is one of those legendary shoot 'em ups that collectors whisper about. Created by the same team behind Steel Empire, it delivered atmospheric visuals and tight gameplay that rivaled anything else on the NES. The fact that it never saw a wider release only added to its mystique.

This isn't a reprint of some middling platformer. This is a genuine hidden gem of 8-bit gaming, pressed onto a brand new cartridge for your NES. Five hundred copies for a game that most collectors have only ever seen in YouTube deep dives and import price guides. We don't need to tell you what that means for the long game. If you've ever wanted to hold a piece of gaming history that most people don't even know exists, this is your window.
