FF7, 10 years earlier
Categories: Video Games, 192 wordsSend feedback •I just found out about an unofficial Final Fantasy VII version for the NES. Yes. The NES. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_(Famicom):
Final Fantasy VII (Chinese: 最终幻想7 ZuiZhongHuanXiang 7) is a China-exclusive unofficial, unlicensed, remake of the 1997 console role playing game Final Fantasy VII, originally developed by Square for the PlayStation. The two-dimensional "port" was developed and published by the Chinese company ShenZhen Nanjing Technology (深圳市南晶科技有限公司 ShenZhenShi NanJing LiKe YouXianGongSi) for the Famicom console.
Shocking. Apparently they developed equivalent systems to account for Materia, items, etc. They retained the whole storyline, except for some side-quests and optional characters. Some songs and graphics are ripped from other games and compressed. This is mind-numbing.
This is closely related to "Demakes" that went over a few months back. My favorite has got to be Shadow of the Colossus on Atari 2600. [UPDATE: A friend just told me this is actually for the TRS-80. That's funny, because I was actually thinking that the game probably transgressed the usual Atari 2600 rule of symmetrical representation, a trick used to save on runtime memory/display.] Hold me closer, Giant Dancer:
