>I can't read the catalog
Oh, the youtubers just found out and want to "show off" again

Apparently it was created in order to try to get Nintendo to start bringing their games to PC. Pretty cool.

>>2855404
Sorry

Looks like a pirate cartridge for the Famicom.

>>2855405
yes, this story is discussed in the book "Masters of Doom", which all of you should read if you haven't already

basically, when Carmack was working on the tech that would eventually be used in Wolfenstein 3D (and later, DOOM), Romero was so impressed by what his engine could do (scroll the screen, among other things, shit which was unheard of for a DOS game during that era) and they were all playing mario 3 on nes in the office at the time, so they decided to recreate mario 3 using Carmack's engine and send it to Nintendo as a proof of concept in order to sell Nintendo on porting their software to PC.

Nintendo said "hey that's neat! thanks for sending it", and nothing more happened.

It's not so much the ability to scroll the screen in all directions, but how smooth and "controlled" it was.

looks like shit. glad it got trashed

>>2855812
That's really interesting.

>>2855401
That demo has been arround since the mid 90s.
How underage are you to not know of this?

>>2855837
Ignorant, spoiled, underage youtuber detected.

>>2856107

How does that make him underaged lmfao? It literally looks like trash, and hating on pcucks has nothing to do with age fucking idiot steam drone. I'm also glad it got trashed. Fuck PC gaming and I hate when they fucking steal our japanese games.

Holy shit. Go back to /v/, little boy.

>>2856115
Because you can't even think videogames existed before you do.

Game is old, back then it's the best it could look like.

Videogames graphics didn't start with PS3-gen.

>>2856286
not gonna lie, it's only impressive for vga standards, any sidescrolling 256 color engine like jazz jackrabbit, abuse, tyrian 2000/raptor blows it out of water

>>2856329
Jazz Jackrabbit does, because it was solid 60fps/70fps (selectable with commandline switch). The others you listed are low framerate just like the Mario demo.

>>2856329
Wanna see you do better, then.

>>2856337
Yeah I think Tyrian had a Pentium setting that doubled it to 60fps, but it sped the entire game up.

Fucking carmackfags I swear...

>mfw you fags need to fuck off

>>2855401
Hahahaha, this is just miserable. Look at those physics. I can't believe this is the demo they were talking up in Masters of Doom.
>It looked just like the console version - smooth scrolling and everything.
Look at that choppy shit. Christ.

>>2855837
it was thrown together in three days. this is a proof of concept prototype, not a finished product. guaranteed your favorite games looked just as bad while being developed.

>>2856382
Nice haircut, dipshit.

>>2856456
It's 35fps recorded at 30fps/60fps, so the real thing isn't as bad as the video looks. But yeah, it's no NES game.

>>2855401
impressive

>>2856485
>>2855401

still looks better than Pit Fighter on the SNES :P
