Nintendo’s third console has made it to the 20 year mark! On this day some decades ago, the mighty 64-bit system was released in Japan.

The Nintendo 64 was most famous for helping usher in fully 3D environments to game consoles and had many timeless classics like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

A new homebrew game was released out into the wild not too long ago… It’s programmed for the NES and is available for download as a rom. The basic premise:

Ralph 4 is a NES game by pubby, with music by MovieMovies1. The game is explained rather easy. Collect diamonds and avoid the fluffy cute bears. Few bears wont move at all, others do.

It’s fun so far, definitely has its difficult segments not even ten minutes in! As you can tell, I had some difficulty with it, but I hope to get past the level I left off of soon.

In the meant time, enjoy!

A new world record of 1,218,000 was set by Wes Copeland over the course of three hours or so. It’s not everyday someone is able to do break the high score of an arcade classic. And when it does happen, it deserves recognition.
