Happy Halloween 2009 Nintendo Age!



http://chunkout.com/downloads/NA_...

Following on from the Scavenger Hunt that was run earlier in the year, I had developed a mini-game engine that ended up in the hands of just 1 gamer! Since I thought it would be great to get this out to more people, we have rethemed the game for Halloween, and release it for everyone to play! Have fun destroying all the evil beings and see how high a score you can get!

At this stage this is just released as a rom (download via link above), but if we get enough interest, we'll look at getting it onto a cart too.

This wouldn't have been possible without the help of the following great guys:
  • Mr Gimmick for his continued great work with NES graphics. Check out his other work on Battle Kid, it's great!
  • Matt Yanders (aka starwarsarcade, aka NES Dude) for some great sprites, this was his first work on a NES game, and he did a great job!
  • Thomas Ragonnet (aka Zi) for his great music, great composition using the MCK software!

Also, Al Bailey put a great deal of effort in over the last few days to add zapper support to this game, unfortunately it wasn't to be, and we had to release it without. Maybe a Christmas release?

And finally, thanks to everyone who submitted some images and ideas for this game. Unfortunately we couldn't include them all, but we appreciate all the contributions.

Enjoy!

I love that we have our own holiday commemorative games. It's just so cool. We've grown so much. Congrats and great work, everyone. And Al - keep working on it. I want to blow the crap out of Santa so bad. And you can use my santa-capped Wizrobe icon as a sprite

Looks cool, I would love to see a cart release of this! Not much of a ROM person, but for this one I'll make an exception
