THE ECLIPSE ENGINE

At the heart of Digital Eclipse's releases is our proprietary Eclipse Engine technology. Custom-built for this special purpose, Eclipse Engine allows us to integrate multiple software emulation processes, original programmed work, video, audio, archival documents and more into a single, seamless multimedia experience.

This tech allows our engineers to enhance and evolve classic gameplay, adding additional layers of functionality on top of a classic game. Online play, quality of life enhancements, or even deeper modifications can be added – all without disturbing the original work running underneath the enhancements.

Eclipse Engine: Technology designed for preserving, and enhancing, games for future generations.
