--- Quote from: thecrypticodor on November 20, 2014, 03:02:26 pm ---The way I feel about most homebrews is that they always seem to be priced around $60, and the vast majority of them like this game just doesn't look good enough for me to see paying that. I got tons and tons of legitimate “retro'' games on my wish list and can buy a lot more and for the money than that. --- End quote --- I do agree with you. It's kind of hard to justify something like this when I think of what else 60 bucks can get me. This one is even more expensive if you want the box and manual. |

I'd rather just let the system go out in a blaze of glory, rather than have these new homebrew's. I just can't get into non-official games... they don't feel right. anyone else feel me on that? :D --- End quote --- I feel the same way. Homebrews usually end up merely mimicking better games that already exist. If you're gonna make an NES game in this day and age, make one that pushes the boundaries a little bit. Make a game from a genre that is non-existent or poorly represented, or make a game with amazing graphics that nobody thought the system could do. I hate to denigrate someone's hard work, but Lizard looks kinda like one of those low grade early NES games like Atlantis no Nazo or Super Pitfall. How would he need $12,000 to finish making that...? Other homebrewers produce the same type of stuff without Kickstarter pages. |

I think that the Homebrews are an attempt to recapture the atmosphere of gaming close to 30 years ago. Some work and some don't. I think it's really cool for games to still be coming out on a system that has long been discontinued. When I can boot up my NES and have ©2014 displayed with an 8-bit background noise, it's kind of cool. The thing with homebrews as a collector is sometimes it's a one time deal and when they're gone, they're gone. Others end up getting rereleased in big ways (Pier Solar) It's definitely a niche market, one that I'm still not entirely ready to jump into. |

Brad seems like a really cool and genuine guy who's doing his best to use his roots to put together the game. :) |
