Carnegie Mellon Students Develop New NES Games

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the blast-from-the-present dept.

dalangalma writes "Students at Carnegie Mellon University who took the student-led course 98-026: Game Development for the 8-bit NES have finished up their ROMs and made them available for download. Most of these ROMs were developed using NBASIC, which was written by their instructor, Bob Rost. These are some of the first new NES games developed in years, and best of all, the ROMs are legal! You can get the games and learn about the NES (and the software tools developed for this class) at the course web page. You can even start developing your own games!"

      You'd better call it something else to avoid copyright infringement.

      I'd call it "Mickey and Pluto go to Donald's House"

      someone should back port super mario brothers from the SNES to the NES... that would be badass... use the original sprite/bitmaps from Mario Bros. 1...

    What great marketable skills they are being taught. Once they get out of school, they will surely be able to dominate the videogame industry of either Albania or Burma.
