A thread for new games that are being made and released for ancient hardware.
There are still a fair few new, interesting looking games coming out on older systems, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to keep track of them and to also look at some of the games that have come out in recent years that might have been missed by people.
Here's something that was posted recently that fits into this subject:

High-quality clones such as the retroUSB AVS and Analogue Nt mini are also supported. Furthermore, our testers confirmed the game works on the RetroN 5.

Can I play the game in emulators?
Yes. it will run on most commonly available emulators like DOSBox, VMware and Virtualbox. However the latter two need a little more tinkering of settings and installing drivers etc, while DOSBox can be used right out of the box for most parts.
