I wouldn't feel bad about it. From what I've read in the archives it seemed like the anon was just happy to have contributions

Okay, so nobody really answered the question I was kind of posing: is this type of collab project something that /vr/ can do more regularly? In the long term I'd really like to see /vr/ develop its own unique style of homebrew development.
For zniggy, anons were contributing levels, which is probably a good baseline since it doesn't require programming knowledge on the part of most contributors.

What sounds best? E.g.
Atari 2600 (MOS 6507, 6502 assembly) -- Probably hard to crowdsource levels for in the zniggy format, but the system imposes lots of technical constraints that help to remove analysis paralysis from the overall design process. Good for simple arcade-like games that can be finished in a reasonable amount of time. Very easy to emulate in browser and has one of the best debugging emulators of any system.
Sinclair ZX (Zilog Z80) -- I don't know much about it to be honest. But this is the home of Zniggy! so maybe at this point /vr/ should just commit to developing only speccy games? I dunno
Commodore 64 (MOS 6502) -- the best selling personal computer of all time. extremely iconic and has large demoscene and homebrew community. browser emulation is also very good

Not exactly, I mean the logical endpoint of that would be for it to just print LOL DONGS and crash (preferably also exploiting emulator bugs to crash them too.) It's a satire of all the nonsensical abstract shape with a stupid name platformers the speccy had, and a project like this inevitably becomes a homage of sorts to them as well, because the people attracted to work on it are nostalgic for them.

No. We're too busy making Zniggy

I like description for Metroid. It works in the very general sense. Lighten up.

Should have used this as the OP image.

Bumping and reserving 53 (if it hasn't been taken yet)
