This is pretty cool: a MMORPG made in the graphical style of old NES games:

For a game that's called NEStalgia, it doesn't take the limitations of NES graphics very seriously.
NEStalgia? 1992-PC-SharewareStalgia, more like.
Looks like Ultima 1 or 2 with Dragon Quest style graphics.
It looks like it might be kinda fun.
Although I do not generally install things from what could be spammers.
Oh, don't worry, I'm not spamming; I'm just a player.
I just had seen the news about the game on
the IndieGames blog; after seeing the news, I immediately thought that it could become an interesting post at the NesDev forum. I usually lurk about this forum every now and then, mostly looking around the game development subsections (never posted anything before, though).
it looks pretty cool. I'm gonna check this out. Thanks for sharing!
I don't get how to use the thing, it is really cryptic.
Regstered. Downloaded ZIP - a folder with three other folders, one of them is full of exe's. One that seems the one I need asks password, then tells that hub is not found or something. There are a lot of options in the window - open file etc, nothing that hints what to do. Ok, downloaded installer - almost the same except for a window that says 'logging in' and stay forever. There is other window for login/password, it says the same about some hub. Ok, there is button 'Find games to play'. Got there, found Nestalgia, clicked on 'Play now'. It offers me to download BYOND again or continue. Continue - the window 'logging in' stays forever.
I think, I'll just skip that and play a good NES game instead.
