[2025 April Fools'] Special Ninja Squad (NES)

EDIT (02/04/2025) APRIL FOOLS! Hope you enjoyed this year's joke ROM :P

I have added the original 2015 ROM as promised. See you next year

----------------------------------------------

Special Ninja Squad now available for the NES!

That's right! While the game was first released for the PC Engine, I did have an NES conversion in the works. Since the hardware is rather similar when you think abozut it (Minus the graphical bells and whistles of course), I thought it would be right to make a "demake" of sorts on the NES.

Can you defeat the Evil Syndicate, now in pure 8-bit form? Find out in: Special Ninja Squad - NES Edition

All demo levels were not only remade, but even customised for this NES version. That's right, even the bosses are in! Can you figure out what black magic demoscene tricks I pulled off to make them possible?

Running the game is easy. If you already have MESEN installed, you can simply pop it in the same emulator used to run the original PC Engine version. If not, then download it (or another compatible NES emulator).

As always, it is also possible to run the game on real hardware using an Everdrive or similar flashcart, or on your favourite FPGA device!

Let me know of any comments, and of any bugs you may encounter. The PC Engine will be obviously coming out first, but as soon as that one is done, I will be porting everything to this NES version for everyone's enjoyment :D
