Overview
Dorke and Ymp is a fascinating piece of gaming history brought back to life. Originally developed in the early 1990s by Norse, a Swedish company, this Super Nintendo title never saw a commercial release due to the lack of a publisher. Fortunately, the source code was recovered at roughly 50% completion, allowing Piko Interactive and Bleem! to collaborate with the original programmer, composer, and artist to finally finish the game.
