These are just a few "screenshots" from my nes project. As you can see it's ending up more as an homage to Blaster Master than anything else. It turned out this way mostly because I like the tank/atv sprites a lot more than the character sprites I had going. There are even large parts of the game map you can only get to by exiting the vehicle, as an 8x16 sprite that looks a lot like Jason.

Next on the trademark court docket: Microsoft v. MausBoy. Allegation: Infringement of trademark "HALO" for video games.

Sheesh that makes for a long intro sequence!

Any time you have a long intro sequence, it's best to involve the player in the action somehow. Otherwise, you have a movie, not a game *cough* PS1/PS2 Final Fantasy *cough* PS2 Metal Gear Solid *cough*.

sounds like fun! Hope to see more!

Oh come on, why not sue jesus or buddha or all the others who got a halo too?

oh you mean like in half life.. yeah that was really a nice one. like 10min of walking around in a elevator (this is by the way the only reason why I've never played through half life)

Not just 10 minutes of doing nothing which is bad enough, its 10 minutes of doing nothing with bad directions.

I always liked the long intros and cinema senquences in nes games when I was a kid. I used to make my own on my apple IIe when I was really really bored. I still have a vhs of most of them, but the disks are long gone. So naturally this game has plenty of those. I don't think they take away from the game at all. (and there is always just pushing Start)
