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

    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

    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 - .

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    "Meh" is from the Simpsons.

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