Zelda Breath of the NES.... get it before the C&D

Yeah so you know that NES map the BTOW developers used to rough out the game?  Yeah somebody recreated the game.

Please do NOT offer any money for this as they are blatantly ripping off Zelda assets.  I say play the demo just for kicks before Nintendo kills it.

Really?  People (quite a few in fact) have been ripping Nintendoh's assets for over 15 years now.  Imagine the royalties Nintendoh lost when the mamedevs added their whole arcade/console collection. whats 25c X eleventy million? Anyone?  So some guy has recreated the NES game and is asking for money.  That is totally American and anti constitutional at the same time, but we are in 2017 so it doesn't matter any more, and the dev should be applauded for the gall. 

Nobody complained about the Fix it Felix game somebody made and sold.  I didn't see Disney issue a C&D, and you did a wonderful job in fixing Felix too, Howard (which we thank you very much for).  So the above is a bit [technically] hypocritical of you, dontcha think?    :lol

BTW I gave the dude $1 for the game, as it is always a good idea to support our gaming community's legal expenses.  ;D

The ROM policeman supports this? That is quite a turnaround. You spent a lot of time and energy crucifying people for IP theft.

The I fixed it felix wrapper is 100% legal.  The game isn't included and I don't circumvent any form of encryption to add in the features I made for it.  Maybe you should brush up on your knowledge of the law.  Also note where I don't ask for money.  See I understand that the FIFJ game is property of Disney and I have no business making any kind of profit from it. 

I fully support fan games.  I don't support people trying to make money off of fan games.

It is good to have hobbies.  Also, if I managed to get under the skin of a troll at the same time, its all gravy baby.  There are plenty of stupid and amateur trolls on this site that love to respond to my posts.  I find their responses hilarious.   Thanks for keeping it real, Mike.   :applaud:

I figure the dev is exploring and learning from the experience.  We cannot penalize people, but give them clear boundaries to work in. There is a good chance Nintendoh will hire him, if the game takes off.

Also note where I don't ask for money.  See I understand that the FIFJ game is property of Disney and I have no business making any kind of profit from it. 

I fully support fan games.  I don't support people trying to make money off of fan games. 

I disagree.  You should have charged us $5 for it.  You are worth it. 

Besides Disney screwed me on Infinity.  >:D

Whatever dude. If you ever called me stupid to my face I would knock all of your teeth out. Have fun redefining who you are everyday.

There is nothing to bury. Ark admitted that he is a complete fake. I can just disregard anything he says from here on out. I made the mistake of taking him at face value. That is how I deal with other human beings until they give me cause to treat them differently. Lesson learned.

Nah.
1. That is how I would react if someone insulted me to my face.

Look at my interactions with other people. If I over step I apologize. Nobody is perfect.

This buffoon Ark gets off on insulting me. I am done with it. I won't engage him anymore. If I ever met him in person he would have to eat my fist.

That's fine. That is why I will no longer engage him. I enjoy poking fun at people and having the favor returned. He has called me stupid on multiple occasions. That doesn't fly with me. The back and forth between us is toxic so I am ending it.

I am not sure. I will have to reread my posts. They were a little foggy on that point.

This is the Internet Mike, and there are all kinds of people populating it.  There are rules though, and I do admit I can scrape by them without too much effort.  In the early days there were all kinds of nutjobs doing all kinds of unsavory posts, websites, etc.  Luckily law enforcement has got rid of those crazies, and we are left with the antagonists that we call trolls, who go out of their way to cause misery at the expense of others.  Some of these trolls are just bullies.

I dont categorize you as a bully Mike.  Yet your comments towards me are just plain stupid.  I guess stupid is as stupid does.  Wanting to enact violence for a comment like that, is what a bully does.  Like I said before: " The shoe fits and you wear it well ".  Just stop doing it, as you can see it is not working.  Be nice to people.  Make that change.  Do you see me threatening people on this board for saying mean things to me? No.  The fellow members on this site are salt of the earth, and some make entertaining comments.  We are all friends here.  I just see things different, and I am not afraid to tell you about it.  You are forgiven for the above outburst.  :cheers:


So did anyone try the game?

I like it, but it needs some polish.
