Elfsquad7
That's the same PC developer Stardock responsible for such not-old-school-at-all PC games like Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations. In fact, it's not just oldschool, Stardock has gone indie as well. Their new game called Elfsquad7 (seriously) is a 2D platformer straight from 1996 that's available right now on PC and XBLA's indie channel. (for only 80 MSP) The four-player co-op platformer is a holiday-themed game where your elf squad demolishes "un-toys," wraps presents, and helps Santa get ready for his big day.
