Will the characters be able to move vertically this time, or is movement still restricted to sideways and jumping?

Sorry for the delay in my response. Things are very hectic.

We're not able to include vertical scrolling in this one. We are working in too many other things and don't have time to alter the engine to accommodate for vertical scrolling with our enemies. We have to leave a few things for '87...

Keep up the good work! Very excited for '86 (and now '87 too!).

So I played a demo of '86 at ReplayFX and it is really shaping up to be something amazing. The new moves are really fun to pull off and add a layer of depth that I didn't know I was missing!

Are you rad enough to save Possum Hollow again?

We are coming down the home stretch of our next all-original NES homebrew "Haunted: Halloween 86: The Curse of Possum Hollow" and this time you will have a few tricks up your sleeve to battle the evil Halloween haunts.

New moves, new enemies, new environments and tons of surprises.

The game will be available on cartridge first so stay tuned...

Don't Miss It!

The final demo of our new NES game "Haunted: Halloween '86 The Curse of Possum Hollow" will happen this weekend at the incredible Portland Retro Gaming Expo.

We are in the final days of development and trying to get this game in the mail to our Kickstarter Backers by the end of the month.

We will have copies of our first game "Haunted: Halloween '85" on sale at the event along with some other cool stuff.

Come game with us!

I took some footage of the booth today, but y'all we're busy setting up so I left you be. Good luck this weekend!

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

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.
