Morphcat Games managed to fit an entire 4-player Towerfall-inspired co-op platfomer into just 40kb. It’s an incredible feat of 6502 assembly programming, and an incredibly fun game to boot! \n\n\n\nYou can download Micro Mages on itch.io or Steam for $10.99. Either option includes the PC version of the game as well as an NES rom that can play on nearly anything, including actual NES hardware via a flash cart like the EverDrive-N8. Expect it to take about 3-5 hours to complete depending on your NES jump-and-shoot chops.\n\n\n\nLinks for this episode:\n\n\n\nMicro Mages OpenEmu – Multiple Video Game System EverDrive-N8 – Stone Age Gamer Analogue Nt mini – The Ultimate Nintendo FPGA console?:: RGB307 / MY LIFE IN GAMING – YouTube I Am Error: The Nintendo Family Computer / Entertainment System Platform (Platform Studies) – Amazon:Books How we fit an NES game into 40 Kilobytes – YouTube Playdate.
