Yup, I still have a few left in stock here: https://www.spoonybard.ca/product...

There are some really neat things that you're doing with graphics and design with this one. Can't wait to give it a closer look  .

I was wondering. Would't it be nicer to make te artwork match your first release more?

I've been flip flopping back and forth about that. I've had a lot of positive feedback about the artwork I have now, probably just because it's so goofy looking. I found the artwork for the first game kind of put some people off who weren't familiar with the original series. At one point I was thinking of making a reversible box that had both styles, but I'd miss having screenshots and a text blurb on the back. There's just something about the silly off-model art that screams NES to me. I'll probably just include some proper looking artwork in the manual.

Anyone with a NES classic willing to try something for me? The game was developed using mapper 11, which I know won't work, but I just compiled an MMC1 version of the game as well and I'd be interested in seeing if it will work now. If so, I might sell mapper 11 carts, but distribute the rom as MMC1.

I have a SNES classic I can try to run it on, if you like (it can play NES games as well).

Up on the homepage.

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.

I just went back and beat the first game finally. The trailer for AAA highlights so many improvements and upgrades. I'm doubly excited for this one now

Is it possible to add a reward where you include the first game as well?

I hadn't really thought about including the first one, since it's still pretty easily available. I have a lot of reward tiers already, don't want things to be too confusing.

Just uploaded a video showing off some gameplay mechanics and how this game does more than Eskimo Bob.

I only got to play for a few minutes yesterday. Can you go back and replay levels to find the secret fish when you're done? Or do you only get one shot?
