Long live the NES!
Some years ago I programmed a few projects for the NES (Nintendo’s 8-bit games console, famed for the original Mario Bros games)—since then, things have moved on a long way in the world of games consoles…
…which is why I was so impressed when I discovered Grand Theftendo.
Grand Theftendo is a new homebrew game for the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It is a tribute to Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto III running on the 8 bit, 256×240 resolution, 2 bit colour x 2 bit palette, 1.79 Mhz system, written entirely in 6502 Assembly Language!
It’s truly amazing what some people will do in their spare time—he’s even written his own 6502 assembler!
