I wouldn't get my hoped up, Science Dude. After all, criminal investigation shows still use the whole "enhance the image by zooming in which somehow magically increases the resolution" thing, despite it being a huge joke to a large number of viewers in today's Photoshop-savvy world.
Hollywood doesn't like to let things go. Like action movies and their love of unnecessary cocking of guns for dramatic effect.

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.

Hey guys, there's this guy called Pacnsacdave who might be able to do that sort of thing. He has a website called http://pacnsacdave.weebly.com/. I learned about him from watching the LJN Defender on Youtube. As a matter of fact Pacnsacdave made an LJN Defender NES Game. The Youtube video of the LJN Defender game can be found here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebCWcCMA8T0 .

Whoa, that was a lot to sink my teeth into. This Pacnsacdave dude needs some kind of "About" page for his site or at least a bit of descriptive text to better explain what all these games on his site are. Apparently the guy makes NES ROM hacks where he mashes up assets from various games to create "new" games. What I find baffling is that he's actually charging money for some of these, like "Batman Vs. Predator." No way does he have permission to sell a game using those licenses. I'm guessing he's gotten away with it so far because he's not very well known.
It'd certainly be a neat novelty to have an SN8X game created by stitching together assets from various NES games, but if we were to ever make an actual Satan Ninja video game, I'd want to go the legitimate route and make a game from scratch. We'd take inspiration from retro games for sure, but I'd want the SN8X game to stand alone as its own thing. A good example would be the Scott Pilgrim game that came out a few years ago. It wears its River City Ransom influence on its sleeve, but it still manages to be it's own unique game.

I had to re-read the entire thread to figure out what this was about and where the conversation went. My initial response was the exact same as it was back then, by the way..
I still haven't seen that new-ish Conan film, I haven't read the books, I no longer go to work by train and I'd almost forgotten I have Golden Axe on my laptop.
Definitely stay on this side of the law, there's potential for never ending pain if you steal something while trying to become successful.
That said, a quick google search informed me that creating a side-scroll beat-em-up game is incredibly difficult and not something to do by yourself on the side.
