Dude Shinobi Homebrews
DragonLord1975:
Seeing Dude Shinobi being played in the arcades as shown in the comic, I was thinking on if someone were to make an actual Dude Shinobi beat-em-up fighting game for old school consoles like the NES, SNES, Genesis/Mega Drive and others.
With homebrew games popping up like wildfire, it would be something to see a real Dude Shinobi game created for fun. Of course, it has to have the standards of all games like items, enemies and bosses. Fun stuff.
What do you think?

Hah! I would fucking love that. In fact, it's actually something Jessica and I have talked about. But making a game, even a simple retro beat-em-up, is a huge task. Maybe if our comic ever blows up in popularity, it'd be something that we'd be able to tackle.

Reading the title, I thought this was going to be about beer.
I'm planning to get some brewing kit in the new year, hence my confusion. I'm sure we can come up with a beer worthy of that name to make up for the lack of beat 'em up versions..
In the meanwhile there's always the Golden Axe PC port that I can't quite remember where I got it from..

You can find it here: http://progameroms.com/segagenesis/SegaGenesis.html
You need to install the emulator first, but then it's pretty good fun. I love the soundtrack so much that I used the mp3 files as a ringtone on my phone.. 8)

Science Dude, you're talking to Captain Emulation over here. I've been a huge fan of emulators since I first discovered NESticle in the '90s. MAME is probably my favorite emulator, as it's the only way to play most old arcade games.
But yeah, Golden Axe rules. I'm a mega-fan of the '80s barbarian trend of movies and video games. Some other rad '80s barbarian arcade games were Rastan and The Astyanax. The Astyanax was originaly released as Lord of Kings in Japan, and the flyer for it is pretty fucking amazing: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/legendaryaxe/lordofkingflyer.jpg
And by amazing, I mean absolutely retarded. They should have called the game "Lord of Arms." Jessica actually had that flyer as her desktop for the better part of the past year.
