New NES Homebrew Game: Sudoku

[Jumpman Jr.]

Hey Everybody,
My good friend and big-time NES collector albailey (who posts on here) has recently finished writing a Sudoku game for the NES.
He started writing the game in November and just finished burning a few onto carts in the past week or so. It's not completely finished though, as he is fine-tuning some of the elements as we speak.
At the moment, there are 2 copies, one of which he has and the other one is in my hands. I'm currently beta testing it for him to see if there are any elements to the game that should be tweaked.

Here are some screenshots taken on his emulator:


I'll try to get some pictures of the cart (it looks nice) and other stuff up tomorrow when I have time.

I was able to run through one of the puzzles today, and it runs really well. There are 99 puzzles (ranging from easy, medium and hard) that are there to complete, and you can choose one specificially or at random.
I just thought I'd let some of you guys know if you're interested. If you have any questions, I'm sure Al will see this thread and answer them, if not, I'll try to do my best at giving some answers.
Enjoy!

Looks cool! I'd be interested in buying a copy at some point. Is the label art nice?

[Azraelscross]

I could never figure out how to do the sodoku puzzles. looks cool though

I do these at breakfast haha. Guess I'll have to get a tv in the kitchen or something.

Yeah, about how much for one of those?

Also, if there are any protos to spare (figured it's worth a shot, at least)...how much for one?

I would be interested in one of these for my Mother-in-law when they are finished.That's all she does is these things.(And play sonic!)

I'm very interested, it will depend on price though.

[albailey]

I dont have a price yet, because I'm still ordering stuff to make them.
My aim is no more than $25. If I can sell them at $20, even better but the reality is that manuals and boxes are not cheap for such a small number of games.

Small number? If you ebayed these demand wouldn't stop

Word. Truth.

Dude...this could be huge...biggest NES homebrew ever, now that you say that. It is not a hack, but a pure homebrew, and thus would be 100% legal, Sudoku is huge, NES is very popular among folks of the non-collector type right now, and this is basically like Tetris in the way that it is the killer app that is simple, addicting, and in demand.

Seriously man, I would personally eBay a few first to make some money for the REAL production run. And if the above is wrong? Carry on as you were, you lost nothing more than you would have.

At $20 or $25 I'm in for sure. Just mass produce several hundred. Sell all you can here, after demand dies down put the rest on Ebay. I promise they will all sell.

Looks great!

[dougman999]

So you are planning on making boxes and manuals for this as well? Awesome!

[leonk]

Bravo!

That looks amazing! See ya at the Toronto show!

[slapdash]

I'd be up for one too...

Side note:

If you'd consider taking preorders and shipping them out, I'd be more than happy to prepay, and I'll willing others would too.

This might be what we need to finally jump start the NES homebrew scene.

[Kroogah]

Put me down for one too!
