vBlank Entertainment Explores What It Would Take To Run Retro City Rampage On The NES

Posted on Wednesday, February 27 @ 20:00:00 Eastern by

The video above from vBlank Entertainment, developers of Retro City Rampage, explores what it would take to complete the original vision of the game as a true 8-bit experience. Thanks to modern technology, Retro City Rampage is free to shake free of the retro chains that adorn its every pixel.

But that means it's not really an 8-bit game. Developer Brian Provinciano walks us through the transformation process by diving deep into the inner-workings of the game. Even if you haven't played Retro City Rampage (you should) it's worth a look if you're curious as to how the sausage is made without actually getting your hands dirty and making a sausage yourself.

    It sounds so complex, but I'm pretty sure game programmers can recite all that while juggling with king cobras.

    Stuff like this makes me appreciate what developers do even more.

    I'm trying to decide what to spend my 10 dollars from Sony on, this game, Bully, or the Walking Dead season. What do you guys think?

    If you want something emotional, w/ limited gameplay, yet fun, get Walking Dead.

    Cool thanks for the feedback, I've heard nothing but good things about The Walking Dead. If it wasn't for GR and the community, I probably wouldn't have tried Journey either, what a great game that turned out to be. : )
