The Legend of Nerdliness

Some people out there have "hacked" various NES games into new, f-ed up games that you only dreamed about when you had childhood illnesses with high fevers.

Here is what I spent 2 consecutive hours on today (only finishing the 2nd dungeon, mind you, with no idea what the hell I'll supposed to do next):
"Zelda Outlands"

That's just a little taste of the insanity.

Other "new" titles that I've been playing include "Mario Adventures" which is SMB3 on acid;
"Metroid Deluxe"; "Final Fantasy World of Chaos"; and Castlevania something-something-blah-la-yada.

It's like I took a trip to Willmar and came back with the goods!!! So to speak.

By the way, don't bother playing these unless you've invested 10 bucks in a USB gamepad for the ol' home PC; you'll just want to poke your eyes out.

Then again, you might want to do that anyway; I know I do.

Touch my eye. The visuals took my breath away from me... literally. Zelda is a game that has static landscapes that are burned into my memory as much as any childhood abuse experience could be. It's like strange dreams I've had, the fucking up of those games. I don't know what to say, but I will tell you that it's out of my league. Way out. Even if I had trouble finding my way out of the Lost Hills, etc., no strange feeling of being lost would compare to playing these games.

Well, I might be able to play a version of Mighty Bomb Jack, all the levels seemed to be the same anyway. You-know-who already beat it though...
