The fact it looks like this just with NROM makes the original Legend of Zelda look notoriously bad. It DOES look bad no matter what you compare it to. In fact, a lot of Nintendo's earlier titles didn't look very good, I don't think their art got better until, I think, Doki Doki Panic. I wonder what...

Man, this looks spectacular! All you need is a solid art direction to make a nice looking game, though better hardware could be nice. Which reminds me, what is the potential size of an NROM game? Could this game have the same length of, say, Zelda with just two banks of graphics data? Of course grap...

Perhaps a port of the famed Super Smash Land game would be a good candidate for an experiment, with upscaled graphics. Then again, this game, since it was developed in a higher language, probably has some complex math that wouldn't be possible even on a number crunching beast like the Genesis.

Road Runner on the NES has a few classical songs also.

There was some other game by Namco (Famicom, of course) where you and the enemy shared the same graphics, and you kinda looked like monks. Then there's the various Culture Brain games with the occasional 1-on-1 perspective, the fighter mode of Double Dragon, and the nefarious Karate Champ. Fighting ...

Or maybe stick him in a different corner, away from the fighters. Like at the top, peeking down from above.

If he were to be implemented, how would that work on the NES? Would he be a background object that suddenly appears on screen?

I didn't mention 9 and 10 because they are not NES games. NES programming is much less approachable than anything modern, which would justify asset reuse. As mentioned before, something that people take for granted like a text box takes weeks to develop, and about a month or two for it to be impleme...

What you posted was a video of the GBC version, which does exist. I was expecting some footage of your hypothetical NES port, which instead I was greeted by some guy who can't stop talking. Not to put you down or anything, but I know for a fact you won't finish this game because it is simply too amb...

Captain Comic's music is okay for what it is, especially since it only uses two of the five channels. It's also heads and shoulders above any other Color Dreams game, but that's not necessarily saying much.

Don't a lot of NES games reuse engines and assets whenever possible? I remember Kasumi mentioning that something as arbitrary as a text dialogue box takes an absurd amount of time to design and implement (in an NES game), so it'd be fair to reuse something that took a long time to make. I also notic...

I thought Memblers was just there for the documentary? And since this looks to be a Zelda-like game, with no true scrolling, I think Sivak will be good enough. I might have my history wrong, but wasn't Memblers' Garage Kart the very first homebrew NES game ever programmed (and then made into a cartr...

I pledged $50 because I want to support the arts, but I will say that this isn't without it's faults. If I was him, I would've come here and see if I could recruit people who actually have experience with the NES, and not some movie composers or fantasy authors or other people of irrelevant professi...

Wow, that's weird, I could've sworn the GB could display more than 40 sprites on-screen. Perhaps I accidentally used the GBC's sprite limits instead? Then again, it makes sense considering the screen size.

I figured something like that happened. So I suppose a vertical status bar (which is rendered as a background, not with sprites) with a scrolling screen would be a no-go on the NES, since things like that are operated on a per-scanline basis, right?
