8-bit Left 4 Dead

[HardOCP News]

Remember that 8-bit Left 4 Dead project we told you about last year? Well, you can grab the full game now here. The download weighs in at just 21MB so grab it if you want it. Here’s a video of the game in action.

 

[FrEaKy]

AWESOME!

 

[SPARTAN VI]

Must put this on 15 floppies...

 

[Methadras]

I'm getting 8-bit hardness.

 

[mrpc9886]

Only 15??? More like 60 or so DSDD 5.25.

Geez...now I remember all the things I hated in the 80's...8 bit graphics and Burger Time.

Better than text based "Adventure"...maybe....

 

[Acoustique]

friggen hell just hurry up and select the player ammount, ive already been looking at the loading screen for 10 secs, friggen retard video makers

 

[Vathral]

I hate 8-bit

 

[Vathral]

doh. No edit button. It's Francis who hates everything, pardon me! >.>

 

[tjmagneto]

Now available on cassette for the Atari 400/800! /flashback

 

[Jutsu]

Amazing, dling now.

 

[Shalafi]

while cool, it seems like the action is rather sparse

the graphics remind me of Pokemon's from the Gameboy games

Agreed. Would be cool if the pacing and intensity was like Smash TV for the NES.

In yo face 8-bit zombie action!

 

[DNME]

jeez that makes me wanna dig my nes out of the closet

 

[Negative Decibel]

does it have 4 player co-op?

 

[rzrshrp]

It needs zombie rushes and co-op. Up the zombie count a bit too. I guess smokers and hunters wouldn't be possible in single player ...unless it's a button mashing affair to get free.

 

[SPARTAN VI]

does it have 4 player co-op?

No, only 2 player coop.

Can it be played in a window and not full screen?

 

[ir0nw0lf]

I'm getting 8-bit hardness.

Better hope your SO isn't getting 64-bit hardness elsewhere LOL.

 

[ir0nw0lf]

Crap, lack of edit (again), meant to say hope your SO isn't getting 64-bit hardness from someone else.

 

[lilfiend]

epic win, going to rock it out big time with my mates

 

[heatlesssun]

Can't wait to play this an on Eyefinity rig!

 

[Spidey329]

This is so going on my netbook.

 

[Mif]

That is so freaking great. Nothing better than a bit of nostalgia mixed with current gen awesomeness!

WOW mrpc9886, Spartan was right and you are WAY wrong no offence

it is 21 MBs... so how many times does 1.44MB (size of a floppy) go into 21

about 14.58, so 15 floppies would work perfect

Anyways
This is totally cool

 

[LGabrielPhoto]

Yeah buy does it support 3d vision?


This is just too cool...in fact, slap a Gameloft logo at the beginning and you got a cellphone game.
Awesome stuff!

 

[jvz555]

yes, but he is not using 3.5" floppys, 5.25"... which are roughly off the top of my head... 360k? ... I remember having cases of those back in the apple ][ and commodore 64 days...

 

[ivesceneenough]

Zombies. Duh.

 

[SPARTAN VI]

Zombies. Duh.

Boomer.





Would have been more appropriate..

 

[Cerulean]

Does this game support PhysX or hardware-based Havok? How about Shader Model 4.0? DirectX11? No?

Bye.

 

[Cerulean]

The exe is 5,251 KB
the Sound folder has 16.2 MB of files...

I can not get the game to work on Windows 7 Ultimate x64... anyone else have any luck??

 

[tikiman2012]

What about compatibility mode. Thats what worked with Jnes.

Good thing it doesn't have a level editor.

 

[ajhodges]

This reminds me of Gang Garrison (8-bit TF2)
http://www.ganggarrison.com/

I'm really loving this trend - it's awesome

 

[Shalafi]

Good thing it doesn't have a level editor.

don't worry, we'll end up getting Crash Course DLC, and we will get a full "expansion" a year from now, and everything will be in 16 bit by then!!

oh wait . . .

 

[teckgood]

This isn't an eight bit game, that executable is a Win32 binary.

Shame for misrepresenting as an 8-bit game, shame for making it Windows only (where's the linux version? where's the source code?), shame for that bullshit download link where you have to sign up for some phishing site to get the game.
