8-Bit Left 4 Dead!
I am a huge fan of Left 4 Dead,(and any game that Valve Produces for that matter) but I am also a huge retro game fan as well. So to tell you the truth when I saw this I almost couldn’t believe it, the two seemed to go together like peanut butter and chocolate, it’s truly the best of both worlds, it’s 8-Bit Left 4 Dead.
This 8-bit Nintendo style port of the first Left 4 Dead was created by Eric Ruth; a self-taught game designer who created it from scratch in his spare time. To simply call it impressive is putting it lightly. All 4 campaigns from the original game are represented here in an old style side-scrolling shooter, Contra style. You can either play it alone, or the game even offers a 2 player co-op mode as well with 2 levels of difficulty offered. The only downfall is you have to have a PC to play, this is not simply a rom but a full game download. But the download is free and you can get it here. Checkout after the jump for some screen shots!
“Not licensed by Nintendo” lol.
very very cool.
it looks like the gentleman’s site has been “geekadelphia-ed” – “Bandwidth limit exceeded”
great game, great post
Looks rad. I’ll give it a download when I’m out of the office.
One thing though, “Contra” style? This looks closer to Gauntlet style than Contra… but I’m just nitpicking.
I see Gauntlet a little but Contra did have those weird stages where you walked around.
