Hiding from the ghosts

It feels like eons ago since I read the book “Ready Player One” but one key plot point was where the main character needed to play the perfect game of Pac-Man. He’d mentioned a hiding where the ghosts could not locate you. I’ve played Pac-man for decades and have never heard of such a thing. So I always assumed it was something made up for the book. I can officially confirm that it is infact a real thing. It’s thanks to an 8-bit math error and a rule where the ghosts can’t travel up in Pac-Mans spawn point. Check the video below for proof.

Super Drac 3000, NES homebrew

I had mentioned in my last post that I’m working on NES home brew as a side hobby. I started work on a game called Super Drac 3000. The idea is simply, you are a vampire getting blood packs and avoiding light. I’m going to expand on this idea thanks to a code error I made. If I do it right, you should be able to turn lights off/on. So click the link below and watch a short video for an early build.

Hello World

Welcome to the geeky rat.  I’ve had several false starts on running thing blog, but I’m going to keep up with it this round.  So I’ll start off with a simple NES rom hack I made.  I took the original Mario arcade game and tweaked it.  It now stars a good friend of mine name.   It’s now called Super Queef and instead of  Mario & Luigi stomping turtles for money. It’s Missy & Erica stomping weeniers, for money.  So you want to play this awesome sounding game?  Hit the link all you need a flash enabled browser and hit the link   Play Super Queef
