What up dawgies!
I haven't join a forum in years, nor have I found anywhere I'd want to commit to. But I keep coming back to the foums reading up on NES development it's only fitting that I join. I just recently started collecting NES games, I bought an NES when it came out and only had a small humble collection. Most of my best memories were playing at a friends house, I never knew how many games I been exposed to, considering my small collection. My best memories were playing two player mode in contra, busting my butt trying to beat Life force, and much more. Now that I been collecting I forget what I played and what I haven't, it's a trip to find some old game with a good memory associated it, even though I had forgot all about it. I forgot I played action 52 long ago, I remember going through it looking for at least one good game. I remember playing doki doki panic on some sort of x-games in one cart. So many good memories.
Recently I just finished learning 6502 assembly and now I'm taking shots at figuring out how the NES works. I have been wanting to make a 2D game for years, and about a year ago proved I could get the basics down when I made Agartha, an Ecco the Dolphin inspired game (http://www.arkonviox.net). I never finished the game because I started to port it to flash and discovered flash sucks, and with recent news of flash getting axed by adobe, I had to find another platform. I started doing work on making a cross platform version of my game for linux and windows...but...I lost my job, and since then been collecting nes games I pick up at flea markets, or found by lurking online. When I learned about retrousb and how they made cartidges for silvak games, it motivated me to learn nes dev. So here I am, I hope I can figure it out, assembly language is the last programming artform I have yet to master, and man it's like learning everything all over again sorta. Oh yeah sorry to ramble, I also got a sorta gaming blog you might want to check out, http://www.enigmav.net, it's a social network I built from scratch, after reading about the owner of nintendoages bio, I can see we have a lot in common (I've scrapped my website project many times over too).
Anyhow i'll shut up now, glad to find a good NES site with a little bit of everything.
