More Amazing Intellivision Homebrew Games (Mario, Megaman, Dragon Quest, Shadow of the Beast)

A few years ago I posted about my nostalgic love for my very first console in the 1980s, a second hand Intellivision with about 50 games, and also how now days all these decades later there’s been some truly amazing homebrew releases and ports of famous games from other consoles such as Defender of the Crown, Castlevania, Price of Persia, Final Fantasy, and Wonder Boy. You can check out that old post about them HERE !

I also mentioned in that post my excitement for the up and coming Intellivision Amico console however after waiting all these years things are not sounding too good and even if the console does somehow survive it sounds like it wouldn’t have run original classic Intellivision games anyway so a lot of the old fanbase has lost interest. However the good news is thankfully Elektronite (creators of many new and awesome Intellivision games) and fans have been busy working towards making their own new Intellivision console using FPGA tech. The equally awesome news and the main reason I’m making this new post is that sure enough the super talented creators I mentioned in my previous post, in particular a fellow named Skywaffle has been busy over the last few years creating even more amazing playable Intellivision demos and complete conversions of famous games we all know and love that you’d never expect to see on the old 70s console lol! I just had to show you guys these as the Mario one below is just unbelievable!!! Hope he does Sonic, Alex Kidd or Wonder Boy in Monster Land at some point too haha!

Sonic The Hedgehog & Super Mario Bros on Commodore 64

Wow!! The world (and Nintendo’s lawyers lol) went bonkers a few years ago when Super Mario Bros was successfully ported to the Commodore 64 and was actually fast & looked good (I’ll put a link & video below if you missed all the fuss). Well now it’s Sonic’s turn as Sonic The Hedgehog 1 from the SEGA Master System has been ported to C64 and it looks & sounds really good! I love seeing people in the homebrew scene pushing the limits of old consoles like this.

3D VR Nintendo NES Emulator

Hi guys,

I just had to post this piece of Emulation news. A couple of years back I posted about a 3D Nintendo Emulator that converted every classic NES game into a 3D environment. That beta was pretty buggy but oh man have things improved over the years since. Check out his latest stuff below. It’s almost flawless and while VR is not required it sure as hell looks great if you have it!

I’m gonna have to get my hands on this and put some of my favourite NES games (eg Final Fantasy 1-3, Star Wars, and Faxanadu) through it!

2022 EDIT: This emulator has continued to improve a lot over the years since this post, has changed it’s name to 3DSen and is available on steam HERE !

Virtual Reality 1980s Arcade

Wow! Will have to stick this on my Virtual Reality to do list.. every awesome thing from the 80s in one room lol!

Sonic & Mario Crossover + New 3D NES Emulator

I love it when fans use modern tools and abilities to improve old school games whether it be mod projects, fan patches or remakes of things hence why my website often tributes such projects after tributing the original base game. One day I plan to do big Sonic the Hedgehog & Super Mario sections on my website covering all the great platformers, spin offs and numerous fan projects out there. I also still have to finish my old Emulation/Console section one day too lol!

In the meantime check out these 2 amazing pieces of work below…

The first is a new emulator that converts old Nintendo (NES) games into 3D! Its a bit glitchy in some parts but looks amazing in others. Skip to different parts to see different games. Check out his channel for more videos and you can try it yourself HERE.

2018 EDIT: A new much improved version of this emulator has been released on itch, I’ve posted some way better videos and animations from it HERE !
2022 EDIT: This emulator has continued to improve a lot over the years since this post, has changed it’s name to 3DSen and is available on steam HERE !

The second are some cool fan created crossover videos between Sonic, Mario & other famous series. Check out his channel for more cool videos!
