Melchior

For thoughtful child sponsors
Were you loking for the Three_Wise_Men?

Melchior is the name of a fan-made game of the classical shoot em' up-genre for the SEGA Dreamcast boasting with a frightenly hard game-play. So far there is only one stage made but there are plans for an upgrade.

The game started as a school project by three guys from Sweden, at first there were a lot of problems deciding for a genre but votes eventually landed on a shoot em' up, or shmup for short. And that idea became Melchior.
