Fark: What if Nintendo was bought by M$ in the 1980s?

[Sniderman]

Here's a Fark thread of interest to classic gamers. Some damn funny stuff within.

Photoshop what the classic Nintendo games would have been like had they been owned by Microsoft originally (http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=1066684)

WARNING: Some big pics within the link...

The first thing I thought of when I read the title of this thread was "Why would Microsoft have even thought to buy Nintendo in the 80's?"

Now I see it was a joke. So here's my take on that Fark thing..

Mario Blue Screen - Stupid.

Zelda Reboot - Meh

Linux Hunt - There was no Linux back then. That's just plain idiotic

Golgo Registration - Funny. The first actually slightly funny one.

The second Duck Hunt - Uh.. really badly done.

The second BSOD Nintendo - COULD have been done better, but it mixed parts of a game that DIDN'T EVEN EXIST BACK THEN! Nor did it even come out on a Nintendo console. So it was funny, then dropped to suck the second they brought the Zero Wing references in.

Megalomaniac - Second funny-ish one.

Zelda Clippy - Could have been done better had they used an actual SCREENSHOT and not a PHOTO of the screen. Geezus.

Bill and Nester - Meh.

Bill as Cats - Once again. WRONG FREAKING GAME COMPANY!! Geez!

Newspaper - Funny. But stupid. The overuse of Z's instead of spelling correctly made it really suck.

Windows Cartridge - Very well done. I liked it.

Pro Wrestling - Uh.... I don't get it.

MegaMan Upgrade - HA! That's good.

Metroid Yes/No - Bah. Bad premise. Should have been "Press A for Yes, Press B for No".

Gyromite - Same thing. They're not even trying.

Pop-ups in Football - Meh. Foreshadowing of the future? Or just plain stupid.

.Net Password to log into SMB3 - Heh. Okay.. I'll give them that.

Metroid EULA - Very nice.

Controller Buttons - Overboard.

Controller Keys - Bah.

Flight Simulator Cartridges - Well.. it's something.

Out of Memory SMB - I'm torn.

Tetris Defrag - I'm trying to figure this one out.. 23% done thinking.

GBA SP Internet - Heh.. Okay.

That one I don't know what it is - I dunno.

Donkey Kong - I admit. At first I was trying to find the joke. But now I see.. it's full of HOLES!! Poor Mario. Should have led DK to the Apple building.

Another Windows Cartridge - Meh. But it's good.

Yet another Penguin Hunt - Sucks.. Worse than the first ones.

Blissful SMB - Heh.. But not as well done. Haven't those dumbasses heard of EMULATORS?? There's no scanlines on the grassy part. Geeze!!

SMB Images Missing - Yes.. I like it.

GameCube at Office Depot - LOL.

Boxed SMB - Could have been done a lot better. Sucks really bad now. I mean really. Who's the dumbass who did that one? I could have done one better in 5 minutes. Also, there was no Windows 85. What idiots.

Corporate Theif - I dunno.

Leader of the Pac-Man - I don't get it. Who the hell is that?

SMB Keyboard - What? Couldn't the idiot change it to Controller? Stupid ass.

Thank You Mario - I loved this one.

Super MES - Very good.

Apple Genesis - I should be mad. But it was funny. Even if it did show the idiot compares Apple to Sega.

XNES - Meh. Heh but Meh.

Browser Tengen News - Funny, but badly done. Should be IE first off. Then use the correct font for cripes sake!

Metroid with.. Megaman? - I don't get this one.

Duck Hunt Clippy - Meh.. Stupid.

Windows SMB3.11 - Meh.

We're Not a Monopoly - Cheap shot

SMB Professional - Whatever.

Final Fantasy - I see.. the Microsoft team in the ball. Whatever.

Okay.. I have torn that whole page apart. A lot of it was just plain bad. Hope no one hates me for expressing my opinion. I've seen better.. A lot better.

[MegaDrive20XX]

Oh god lol LOL

[Griking]

Zelda Reboot - Meh

What exactly does 'meh' mean anyway?

I'm not really sure why but I find it kind of annoying. :?

[Jasoco]

It's sort of like a sound.

It means.. hmm.. how the hell do I explain it? "Meh", "Feh".. Let's see...

It's like "I didn't care for it. It didn't suck. It wasn't awesome."

I dunno.

[evildead2099]

Since you openly express your curt opinion, Jasoco, I'd like to see you do the artists one better.

[Jasoco]

Since you openly express your curt opinion, Jasoco, I'd like to see you do the artists one better.Believe me. If I had done those, they'd look a lot more realistic.

[evildead2099]

Talk is cheap. I encourage you to show me how much better a job you can do.

[Jasoco]

Ooh.. I'm so scared of the Newbie.

Look, Mr. EvilDead guy. I don't want to get in an argument with you. I was expressing my opinion. And that is my opion. A lot of those suck utterly. And before a Mod comes in here, I'd just like to say one thing.

Shibby.

That is all. Good night.

[calthaer]

"Meh" is from the Simpsons.

SA > Fark; it's been scientifically proven during their head-to-head photoshopping contest.

In terms of the quality of the work, I agree 100 percent. But, if you want teh funny then it's Fark all the way.
