Estil | 1,264 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I wish someone would homebrew Chip's Challenge to the NES or SNES. Would the SNES be enough to make it look just like the Windows version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: @arch_8ngel beat me to the response. There is a ROM hack that fixes a couple of things as well. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3383/ Edited February 18, 2020 by Deadeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, thanks so much guys for telling me about this! I just downloaded it and added it to my Everdrive! BTW, did you guys know among other things, there's a Sudoku, Snakes (the classic QBasic game), and even a Cracker Barrel peg-game homebrews for the NES?

Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 @Estil you should check out Slydog Studios' 1K series of Homebrew games https://slydogstudios.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's all sorts of simple games that were homebrewed for the NES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,492 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Whew! I think I got most if not all of them. Some the NES version might have been released concurrently with the computer version; couldn't find any verifiable data. I know Zanac had the FDS and MSX versions released at the same time. edit: Missed Battle Chess for some reason.

Tulpa | 3,492 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Added one more, Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular/Donald Duck was originally a computer port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,020 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Elite was ported to NES in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,020 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Bad Street Brawler is a NES port of the C64 game Bop n Rumble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,492 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Good call on Bad Street Brawler. I didn't look at Pal games, but Kick Off is also a computer port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,020 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Weird that One on One was never ported to NES when it was on everything else. I had to check because I thought that it was probably on the NES. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_on_One:_Dr._J_vs._Larry_Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,492 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The sequel, Jordan vs Bird was, but I can't tell if the NES or computer versions came first, so I listed it as concurrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulpa | 3,492 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Okay, did I get them all, or is Super Mario Bros 3 secretly a port of Fartsy the Squirrel released on the Vic-20 in 1981? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulpa | 3,492 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Well, for completeness, and because I'm bored... The Adventures of Captain Comic Bee 52 (may have had concurrent releases) Big Nose the Caveman (may have had concurrent releases) Dizzy the Adventurer (as Dizzy, Prince of the Yolkfolk; may have had concurrent releases) Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy (as Fantastic Dizzy; may have had concurrent releases) Firehawk (may have had concurrent releases) Mig-29: Soviet Fighter Quattro Adventure (may have had concurrent releases, Super Robin Hood and Treasure Island Dizzy were on computers before the NES version) Quattro Arcade (may have had concurrent releases) Quattro Sports (may have had concurrent releases) Tetris: The Soviet Mind Game Didn't look too deeply into the Sachen games, as info tends to be scarce or incomplete for some. Though there was a port of Minesweeper for the NES thanks to them. Edited February 18, 2020 by Tulpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
