Well fuck. All I can say is... wow. Either this was a tech demo or it's plainly obvious why this got cancelled :| (which is probably the joke...)

And yes, this ROM is the real thing. Joking about this only makes you look stupid now, I guess?

At the very least, that's an entire NES game being played through there. Someone had to make the entire thing in NES ASM/whatever even if it was fake, and 15 minutes of continuous gameplay, multiple enemies, multiple stages, working teleporters...

There's a line where it may as well be real even if it was made yesterday by hand.

Uh, you can download and play it. It's real. Thinking it's not is communist.

Even if they made it themselves, it's still pretty impressive.

Is there anything in this ROM that would make it being fake obvious? Stolen code from another game; a hacked third party sound driver (or something from FamiTracker); some hidden graphic; anything? I know nothing about the NES myself...

Then again, the joke might as well be "we released it today" =P

I'm a founding member of LL, and I can assure you it's real:



The game even shares a sound driver and tilemap compression format with Silva Saga, another (released) Seta game.

(I was skeptical when we first got this, too, considering the auction end date, which is why I checked this stuff in the first place.)

1up Game Night, Bio Force Ape: http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/29031

And the ROM does look just like what they played in the above video. No technical evidence from my side, but this is honestly one thing I do trust even on April 1st.

EDIT: Technical evidence right above this post

I refuse to believe it's real unless it tells me to EAT COMMUNISM!
