S'okay, I fell for it too when someone posted that link here a few months ago.

If it was real, I'm not sure what would be worse, seeing so poorly, or trying to navigate with a disc and side buttons!
Lets stick with D&D Treasures of Tarmin I guess. :lol:

I'm impressed somebody could come up with those animations in order to *make* the joke. Or is it a lot easier and less time consuming then I'm leading myself to believe?
Time will be when the broadest river dries

It's pretty easy to do in PhotoShop. You grab a few consecutive frames, chop out a bunch of them in-between to simulate the frame skipping you'd need, reduce the colors to 16 on-screen to simulate the Intellivision palette, and you're almost all of the way there already. A little tweaking to the resolution (if I had done this I would have had the status you usually see on the bottom done with the Intellivision font) and a simple animation program and you're all set.
It's giving me ideas for the next April Fool's day. :twisted:
I'll admit.. I fell for the 5200 DOOM port a year or so ago..

Fear your words because they become your actions
Fear your actions because they become your habits
Fear your habits because they become your character
Fear your character because it becomes your destiny

It exists I tells ya! My best friends uncle's cousin (who lives too far away to go see) had one. He had to get it directly from Mattel because they couldn't sell it in stores. Mattel couldn't advertise it because of a court order. It's true I tells ya! All true! :lol:
How many hoaxes like this did you ever fall for growing up? Without the internet back then there was really no way to disprove rumors so you never knew if it was actually true or not. Of course if you ever wanted to actually see said game suddenly the only guy who had one lived up in a mountain shack ten states away. And if you wanted to see the "Secret Level" your friend was bragging about, suddenly your cart became the one version that didn't have it ("I don't know what's wrong, it works all the time on my cart").
Of course you could always trust your best friend. Would he lie to you? :wink:
