0078265317 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Nice. I played this in highschool. My math teacher introduced us to this game. But I forget how to play it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+neogeo1982 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 @tabitha That's sweet! I played this in study hall in high school also 🫣. Is this a finished project then or a wip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+neogeo1982 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 @tabitha Are those 10 very limited hand made copies up for sale then? Cool video and website! Can't wait to see what you make next 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 This is a great project! There was a BASIC version of this in a book of games for the Coco (and, IIRC, the TRS-80 Model III) in the early-1980s. I had so very much fun with it. Sadly, I do not own an original NES console -- just the NES Classic and several Famiclones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Wow impressive, and you put some good work even into that manual as well. Ever consider a physical run? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever consider a physical run? thank you! yes! i'm selling them on itch.io. there's tens of dollars to be made here! lol (seriously, there's no way this could ever pay me for the time invested, if it can just cover expenses and sunk costs i'm fine with that. this is a labor of love 😺).

Machine Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Got my copy. Looking forward to playing this. Very impressed with the packaging. Nice quality box. Edit: I have never played this game before but it reminds me of "The Royal Game of Ur". Maybe that is your next title??
