Really good interview with the guy who made Bleem, ported Doom to the Super Nintendo, and performed other bits of computer wizardry that were thought impossible at the time. He works for Limited Run games now, which is fitting for someone with so much knowledge of old vidya hardware and software.

If the Sony lawsuit about Bleem had gone differently, emulators might be illegal in the United States now. Good thing this man handled himself smartly when faced with massive legal problems. Also, death to Sony.

@All_bonesJones @coolboymew I grabbed many emulators off his website in the early 00, including the Game Boy Advance emulator that was released before the handheld system itself.

also, one of the top comments on that video is from Dear Leader @sun

@All_bonesJones @noyoushutthefuckupdad @coolboymew I remember his site was a fucking lifesaver for when I got my first PC in the late 90s and discovered the magic of emulators.

@thomasroiloup @All_bonesJones @coolboymew NESticle in particular was impressive. it was so well-coded that it could run NES games at full speed, even on my family's old obsolete desktop.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @thomasroiloup @All_bonesJones @coolboymew Yep. NESticle and Genecyst.

He also did a lot of old, odd, interesting games like Noggin Knockers (Pong clone) and Time Slaughter (Time Killers/Bloodstorm clone).

He's also got a free point and click(?) adventure game on Steam that has a refined version of his art. You can look at it and recognize it if you remember his earlier works.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @All_bonesJones @coolboymew It even had a built in UI for hacking the sprites, so you could redraw them at will, and then save them as new roms. I did an entire one where I drew hair on Kirby for Kirby's Adventure on the NES.
