For now, this game is still on a prototype stage.

Install instructions
The game comes in two kinds of distribution:
- dragon-blaster-0.3.full-distribution.zip (Windows only): Comes with the ROM plus an embedded emulator and a batch file to call the emulator to execute the ROM; good option if you don't have a Sega Master System emulator;
- dragon_blaster-0.3.sms.rom-only.zip: contains only the Sega Master System ROM; you will need a Sega Master System emulator to play it; it may or may not play on real hardware, but hasn't been tested, yet; this is a good option if you already have an emulator, or if you want to try the game on a non-Windows environment.
