ABOBO IS BACK !!
Those around 30 who back in the days had the chanche -and the luck- to put their tiny chubby hands on the first, epic, unforgettable episode of the Double Dragon serie on the NES they could never forget one intimidating big headed dude: Abobo. He was tough as nails, and he also had a lot of heart: even if you beat him badly he kept coming back as final boss or teaming up with other thugs. For many years to follow me and my fellow nerds we were using his name to refer to those rude older boys. Now you should understand how exited I am as i'm going to present probably the coolest game of all times: Abobo's Big Adventure.
The development of the game began way back in 2002 when Roger Barr set out to have Abobo fight his way through a variety of classic NES games in search of his lost son, Aboboy. Roger teamed up with a programmer who went by the name "Bane" at the time and they started putting the first levels together. Unfortunately, the Abobo game kept getting sidetracked due to each of them working on other game projects at the same time (including Domo-Kun's Angry Smashfest).
The Abobo project stayed on the backburner for years, but Roger always hoped to return to it eventually. He was lucky enough to meet Nick and Luis who both shared a love for classic 8-bit games and stuffing games full of ridiculous humor. After working on some other games like "Trick or Treat Adventure Quest" together, the three of them started to recreate the original Abobo game from scratch in 2006. Nick worked up a whole new game system, Pox recreated the existing graphics and Roger developed a big story for Abobo to really dive into... fists first. It was a daunting project, but like all labors of love, it's something that simply had to be done.
The trio have been working on this game for ages with one simple goal: make Abobo's Big Adventure the *ultimate* tribute to the Nintendo Entertainment System. This is the game that any kid who grew up on the NES always dreamed of playing and it goes beyond anything the system ever could've been capable of.
For those of you wondering if the game will be for sale, the answer is NO. Abobo's Big Adventure is simply a labor of love and will be available to play for free on the web. The game really pushes the limits of what Flash is capable of and you will soon have control of the most unappreciated, brutal, rage-fueled character in the entire pixelated universe in your hands.

INDUSTRIAL NESIGN
Il designer spagnolo Javier Segovia ha ammorbidito la linea del mitico Nes, dandogli così un'accattivante estetica moderna.
Ritoccare un design così iconico come quello della console per antonomasia senza cadere nel ridicolo è cosa assai ardua, e far storcere il naso è quasi inevitabile. Ma in questo caso il risultato è davvero notevole, sopratutto per quei meravigliosi pads.
Unico neo, dovendo essere critici, sono le quattro bande rosse sulla parte superiore, che obbiettivamente contrastano un po troppo.

LINUS TRIBUTE
Grazie alla Svezia e al Chipophone di Linus Akesson, pazzesco sintetizzatore 8bit a doppia tastiera e sette pedali (wtf) costruito dentro la struttura di un vecchio organo elettrico, le future generazioni comprenderanno la vera essenza del chiptune.
Questo strambo personaggio, nonostante abbia lo sguardo da serial killer, non può che avere tutta la nostra stima. Come musicista, come ingegnere del suono, come pianista, come uomo e come nurd.
Inevitabile per i veterani del Commodore 64 l'occhio lucido sull'highscore di Commando.

NES NAP
Quest'opera d'arte è stata realizzata artigianalmente da una graziosa ragazza che, con l'aiuto dell'immancabile mamma che cuce, ha confezionato questo incredibile regalo per il suo fortunato fratellone.
Lo dico spesso ma questa volta è davvero il caso: PRICELESS! Ogni altro commento penso sia superfluo.
