    Hello!

    I am proud to announce Piko Interactive's take on the Flappy Bird hype!

    After checking out the thousands of clones Flappy Bird mania caused on the mobile markets and the many different homebrew clones on retro platforms. I decided that it was Piko's turn to show our style on a Flappy Bird Clone.

    Here are some screenshots of the game and a video link for you to see it in action.

    You know, I am a huge SNES fan, but this just screams "exploitation".

    Nobody is going to get excited about SNES homebrew with crap like this is actually published.

    Exploitation? you are playing the game for free? we made in our work time, for FREE. I just spent 20 hours making a manual and a box.

    Anyways, arent you the owner of snes central?

    You make a crappy game in a day, make a package for it, then sell it. People will buy it too, because they collect things. That, my friend, is exploitation.

    I'd be much happier if efforts were made to make a good game, something that would be worth buying a repro for. And not some bugfix of an unreleased game from the 90s.

    I think badinsults needs to fill that one out in triplicate.

    Hey Evan G, pm me your address and Ill send you one for free.

    As for your comment on a 90's game. I think this is because I sent you a friendly email asking for a backlinkto our site? for hosting an unathorized Rom image (copyright owner confirmed ot was dumped with out permission) of a beta game for snes. But dont worry it is ok, we are not going to take down your site. We are all on the same team! (Snes team). Besides the beta rom is incomplete and we got the final and different version.

    Friendly email? It sounded more like a thinly veiled threat.

    I wrote the article on Apocalypse II many years ago, but according to the article, the developer sent TRM the binary, and I assume was happy to have it released. I always check on these sorts of things. And let's face it, would you have even heard of the game if it weren't for my article?

    I am fine with you making carts of simple homebrew games and obscure unreleased games (quite frankly, there is a reason they were not released). But when you do things like make a re-release of Super Noah's Arc 3D, it just screams "taking advantage of the collector community". I am in no way involved in video game collecting, and I think that the most recent SNES releases (and that includes Nightmare Busters) has been purely to capitalize on the collectors market. To slap a previously leaked prototype onto a cart, then threaten the very people who found and released the games to the public is not really a good way to make friends in the SNES gamer scene.

    Article can say whatever, the original developer was clear when he said "i know who dumped the rom when I asked him not to" (paraphrasing)

    Anyways, I don't see anything wrong with this email:

    "Hello,

    I wanted to inquiry about the unreleased page for Apocalypse II for SNES. We currently purchased the copyright for this game and will be doing a complete in box release.

    We noticed that you were hosting the beta of the rom and that is OK with us since we have a different rom. However We wanted to ask for a link to our website in exchange of permission to hosting the ROM.

    I hope you understand and hear from you soon!

    Thanks"

    And I also I dont understand, someone make reproductions, people start complaining that is wrong and illegal. Someone buys legally the rights of games and makes a release, its exploitation.

    You just said you don't collect, why worry? I collect, I have a decent snes collection, and I would buy games other people would release.

    If that email there is copy and pasted, that's hardly being rude as it's asking for a courtesy since Piko owns the rights to distribute the game as new in a box with the manual. It seems pretty lame to attack someone for taking games that never got legit releases, get final copies or code them to make them final copies and sell them. Where's the fault in that and why is that exploiting anyone? You're not being held at gunpoint going 'buy this motherfucka or you're dead!' as it's just out there for those who want it. This here is the moral and legal highroad since it's not pissing 'reproductions' off on people as some legit business practice when it's just gussied up old warez, stolen games in a pretty wrapper.

    Wow that didn't take long to produce and the label on it is nuts that it looks so official, love it. Now if I could only make a label that perfect and shiny in quality I could replace a couple jacked up SNES game labels I have (Ninja Gaiden Trilogy and Lufia II.)

    Don't have access to vbender, but the rom isn't exactly difficult to get.

    Unfortunately, it's also not a very good game, so that's one horrible waste of a cartridge

    I asked, So he would post how to get it for people to download it.

    And well I understand if you don't like the game, however I do believe it is the best version of Flappy Bird out there.

    That's like saying it's the least stinky turd

    Truthfully, I think if it was made slightly more forgiving (it just feels that the bird arcs vertically too much), it would be more enjoyable. Jet Pilot Rising is much more my style. You can at least make it a level and a half into the game before it becomes ruthless.

    From the programmer:

    "It is kind of like an eagle vs kolibri simulator.
    An eagle makes a flap and planes a relatively long time, kolibri has to flap very frequently to mantain flight."

    I am very flexible when it comes on projects so I let him decide what sort of flapping he would use. And He liked the Eagle Flapping better.
