Minekart Madness - Arcade Platformer
A new classic coin-op arcade game for your NES!
Minekart Madness is an homage to the simple coin-op games of the 80's. It takes inspiration from classics such as Donkey Kong and Pac-Man.
In Minekart Madness you are a dwarf piloting an out of control minecart! There is no way to stop, only slow down slightly. Navigate the winding tracks, while avoiding hazards and collecting precious gems.
But you only have a few minutes; when the clock hits zero it's game over! So optimize your route, exploit the looping levels, and shoot for that high score!

Wow, Just played this today, a good friend (gab75) told me about it. This is pure greatness, thank you!
I think this would be a nice candidate for a VS system game, what do you think?

Re: Minekart Madness - Arcade Platformer
I'm thinking about it. I would need to reduce it to NROM to avoid dealing with a daughter board. Wouldn't be too hard.
Re: Minekart Madness - Arcade Platformer
I just started seeing how hard it would be to get it down to an NROM board, and it looks pretty doable. I have it compiling and running for Vs Arcade now, but haven't hooked up dip switches for the PPUs variants so the colors are messed up.
But I figured that all out for Vs. From Below already, so it should be easy.
I'm not sure I want to do much work to make it a true arcade game, but I'll at least make sure the watchdog timer doesn't trigger. Maybe put in a credit counter...
Graphics will take a hit, likely dramatically simplifying the title screen and game over screens.
Re: Minekart Madness - Arcade Platformer
Well that was easy.
Title screen needs some work though...

Re: Minekart Madness - Arcade Platformer
Remember that Vs. System doesn't actually have "NROM" - the least you can get is mapper 99
