Dimension Shift – homebrew NES

There are many homebrew projects starts out there. And it’s always hard to say will it be finished or dropped somewhere in the early build or in the middle, or even towards the 98-99% completed as how it happened with Zodiac: The Guardian Story(which is like The Guardian Legend with side view Metroid exploration, instead of top-side view). Dimension Shift is a starting homebrew NES project. Looks kinda in a way of Natsume games. Not sure, maybe it’s a hack of some Natsume game from NES?

So far not much in there. Just nice looking platforms and the character who hits with something like a sword. And very nice music playing.

Optomon VS Megaman

Optomon is tough but Megaman is pretty strong too. Could he beat that monster? Or will Optomon smash him with his deadly attacks?

Poll should appear here. If not appearing, maybe something blocking it, or crowdsignal server has troubles.

Trying polls on the front page. Maybe with time it could work and enough people would vote! Voting polls are very fun in the game’s Russian fan group, in VK.com (Russian social network) https://vk.com/theguardianlegend (by the way I am one of the admins there). So we should try to build such thing here too.

videogamesage.com Weekly Contest

Recently there was videogamesage.com Weekly Contest – The Guardian Legend(ended). Unfortunately no one told us. Maybe some people here would participate if they knew.

It has mostly screenshots from people who tried to beat the score. But also a nice material for our art gallery. One is their mascot in style of Guardian Legend heroine. And other is hand made prize. The ship keychain that is made with cross stitch embroidery.

I also created new gallery section specially for things like that “CRAFTS and MISC”(maybe there could be a better name? Let me know.)

Don’t forget we also have Discord to discuss things: https://discord.gg/93C68CT

Aleste on Sega Mark III

アレスタ Aleste on Sega Mark III is great SHMUP game from Compile. Aleste series remind of Zanac overall. This one also has some similarities with MUSHA on Sega Genesis.

It has similar powerup system with Zanac for special weapons. Tho in Zanac most of weapons are forever until you die. In Aleste they end over time. Upgrading the main weapon is like in MUSHA. Maybe MUSHA even based on this game?

Zanac and Aleste games has many familiar elements with The Guardian Legend. I love the final Round 6 that starts from 28:19 in the video below. It looks totally like Naju surface. Player also shoots out the panels and reveals the bio surface under them.

The game also goes under the name Power Strike on Sega Master System. And looks the same. They are probably identical. Tho who knows maybe there some differences(for example original is quite too hard would be a good idea to lower down the difficulty).

The MSX2 version came few months later after the Mark III. It has intro and a little bit more extra levels. However visually not as good. And MSX2 scrolling not that smooth. MSX2 version is also a bit easier. Which is good because the original from Mark III is quite difficult.

Here are some screenshots from the game:

So much like Naju surface!

The final boss 1st form is totally the Naju’s first boss. Defense system on landing the Naju:

The very first level background color is terribly bright. I think that was a bad decision to make this bright green ground:

Game has Zanac type of bosses:

Nice looking space station background with a rock surface:

Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary

Today is Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary. The famous Famicom/NES game.

So I use this as an excuse to show this cool song “Rawest Forest” Reanimated Collab (SMRPG Music Video). It’s a collab on the original one with tons of artists do small parts of the original video. I am not a big fan of Mario so what I actually like is the song itself.

Also I saw this cute gif in the discussion
