Left 4 Dead de-make festers with ikari quest warriors  photo

That Left 4 Dead NES-looking demake is finished, and it's pretty fun. In case you couldn't tell from the headline, the game plays like a triple crossbreed between Left 4 Dead, Fester's Quest, and Ikari Warriors. Though it's a PC-based exe file, the game looks authentic. You even get an image of a fake Left 4 Dead NES cartridge at the loading screen. Nice touch. Oh, and you can download the game here.

When I booted the game up for the first time, my significant other was looking over my shoulder. Their comment? "Oh my God, I didn't know Left 4 Dead looked so nice!" No sarcasm there. To at least one person on the planet, this is the superior version of the game. 

Thumbs up, Pixel Force. You've done good. Now all you have to do is strike up a deal with Valve to release this on XBLA/PSN/WiiWare, and you can get some cash along with your congratulations. 

Left 4 Dead, NES style [Game Stooge]

Wait.....I HATED Ikari Warriors.

This does look good, even after watching the trailer a while ago.

I hope Valve embraces it like they did Gang Garrison.

BTW, that's the witch in the bottom-left corner.

And yeah, this game isn't that easy. Space bar switches weapons. You wont get far without knowing that.

"Though it's a PC-based exe file, the game looks authentic."

That sentence makes my head hurt because I have no idea what you are trying to say.

Anyway, this is cute. I can't see Valve trying to monetize it, but I guess you never know. Reminds me of Codename: Gordon.

is there a way to shoot behind the player as they are running away? maybe that would make it too easy mode...

It's great fun. I'd love to see him do some other demakes. 8 bit Bioshock would be really interesting.

@StingingVelvet:
It's built in Game Maker, but it looks very much like an NES game. If you knew the limitations of Game Maker, though, you could point out the inaccuracies and liberties necessary.

I'd probably like this more if I could play it with my gamepad. I finally bought one in September and it's too hard to go back.

Yeah, tried it out and it needs gamepad support. I haven't played a game with pure keyboard controls since freaking Commander Keen.

That said it's a nice little game, I like the music. It made its way into my massive Games file and is a keeper for sure. Get on that Xbox controller patch though dude, it needs it.

Get JoyToKey. It lets you map keyboard keys to gamepad buttons. Hell, I'll even link it for you! Happy gaming!
