How we fit an NES game into 40 Kilobytes
Interesting 12 min documentary in which the developers of the upcoming NES platformer Micro Mages explain how they managed to squeeze the entire game into 40 kb. The classic Super Mario Bros. only used 40 kb as well but most NES games were bigger and their size varied between 128 kb and 384 kb.
Hello everyone, we made a real NES game that fit into 40KB like the first super mario bros. Since 2,5 years I was working on graphics, level-design and arts and my friend did the code and music. Since the 5th of September, we launch a Kickstarter to make that our game will be on real cartridge. Hope you will enjoy it :D
