THE BEST NES HOMEBREW GAMES!!?

[@ThePixelnator]

Love me some NES homebrews! More on that Plummet Challenge. The developer Fista Productions has other cool games like Carpet Shark where you’re a shark living in a carpet eating people, an armwrestling one where it’s kinda like punch-out but a button masher and a bunch of short horror games where you play as jason, michael, freddy, and candyman that the guy originally made in the 90s as flash games for the computer but demade them as NES roms. So happy people are still making games for the this system.

Aaaah so that's where my sudden spike of downloads for Mine Mayhem came from :P Thanks for covering it. It was one of my game jam games :D If you like it I'd suggest my port of Wordle as well as Blazing Blocks ;)

[@Zobbster]

I love the fact that homebrew is endless

[@tabsntoot]

I like the modern day aspects on old hardware, a flash cart is a lifetime of fun

[@XyNoST]

Nice list !! Have you ever tried Alter Ego ??

[@NorthSutherland]

5:11 Isn't that the same porcupine from Barrio Sesamo (Spain Sesame Street). Edit: It _is_ , and Don Pimpon is there too. I spent a lot of time on the Muppet Wiki.

[@Alianger]

Mine Mayhem looks totally rad

[@vectrex28]

Thanks dude! I have a few more games like this on my itch :D Currently making a PC Engine/Turbografx-16 platformer with ninjas too (Special Ninja Squad), you might like it :D

Homebraw on the nes and genesis are awesome these days

[@tabsntoot]

Yea. mega drive has some very nice homebrew and plentiful . However much I like super nes the scope seems broader for devs on the sega

[@Sinistar1983]

Another homebrew worth looking at is former dawn. A nes game, that's meant to push the hardware to its breaking point. Trust me when i say it's gonna look unreal.

[@WatchSnatcher]

All these games look awesome

[@Pridetoons]

We NEED more NES games based on IPs in the Public Domain!

[@squirrelsinjacket1804]

Should have mentioned Micro Mages, probably one of the best looking NES games.

[@agentchris1482]

Super painter I’m definitely getting city connection vibes from it! Or is that just me?

[@gamerman7276]

"Human character" is just Elmo in a straw hat

[@NorthSutherland]

@@gamerman7276 It's actually a different Muppet character from Sesame Street's Spain co-production: Barrio Sesamo.

"The Great Gatsby" - I feel like it modded Vice:Project Doom

[@boardgameJeff]

Jack Bros background music!

[@TINYDUCKHUNT3D]

I'm making the next generation NES Duck Hunt )

[@claudiosacchi3720]

Thanks! I didn't know any of these games.

[@parrata]

4:31 Remove some colours, and this could perfectly pass as a "H.E.R.O II" for the Atari 800XL.

[@ralphm786]

Pity you didn't review Sam's Journey. I know it was originally a C64 home-brew, but the NES port is excellent. There's even a free demo you can download to play the first few levels.

[@arevalo8117]

nice

[@TonyGrace-l9y]

Are these on cartridge? I can’t seem to find them anywhere I’m not much of an emulator person.

[@CarletonTorpin]

All of these games have the potential to be world-changing. I think I'll go with the fish-tank simulator, if I had to pick just one.

[@tabsntoot]

A world of wonder !

[@seanshaffer9181]

What's the game in the intro at 00:12?

[@seanshaffer9181]

Actually, shoot. What are all the games in the intro? lol

[@tabsntoot]

crow maiden for nes is the best port

[@LorenzoLubrano-w4g]

Hi i have a question, are nes games like lizard, dataman and other homebrew games perfectly compatible with the Italian PAL A system? I ask because I recently bought the homebrew game sams' journey and after changing the region system by pressing reset 4 times the game started but it doesn't work well, there are glitches on the screen and after a while it freezes, I haven't found any explanations about it online and nobody knows if these homebrew games are actually compatible with all region formats or only with NTSC and PAL B.

[@tabsntoot]

Well il tell you this, most of the nes homebrews come out the u.s and are never pal friendly. My n8 everdrive wouldn’t load n play many unlicensed and homebrew in my uk nes version console . No idea why I’m assuming they are written differently for u.s /jap speeds I’m not sure but I bought an AV famicom and famicom n8!as I was sick of this and every game without fail works in 60 hz and composite video so it’s deffo a pal problem

[@boityboy2035]

Glob quest? I think you mean animal well.😂

[@sumonedum]

If you don't store your quills in your neck, then where?

[@Sly2Cooper]

NES could do so much better, prettier and more complex gameplaywise than those "newer" games (except Indivisible, that looks great). Batman Return of the Jocker, Battletoads & Double Dragon, Duck Tales 2, Mega Man 6, Kick Master, Power Blade 2 and many many more titles got gameplay and visuals that are way better. Even Spectrum gets more interesting releases like metroidvania based on Alien movie.

[@tabsntoot]

You’re kidding right? Full quiet? Irene crow maiden ? Necronancy? You couldn’t make such games in. 1990 !!!

[@exodous02]

I often thought of downloading a bunch of homebrew games to go back in time and release them as real NES games. I often think I might get caught though, like someone was working on a game for 40 years and knows I'm a time traveler.
