Well, I know I already did a similar topic on RX Community (http://s1.zetaboards.com/The_RX_Community?topic=3064690/1/http://s1.zetaboards.com/The_RX_Community?topic=3064690/1/), but oh well, since I'm a mod and the topic is pirated stuff, why not?

What? You didn't know that there was a Dune II port for NES developed? Well, there WAS one, developed by one unknown guy from Kazakhstan...
http://dune2nes.narod.ru/
Screens:



NOTICE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE PUBLISHED BY NEW GAME COMPANY (My comment on this: Fff...) Half-pirate game :whistle:
Unknown if this is a fake (could be clear if he'd make a gameplay video and gave us a beta ROM), but the description on the site is SO informative that you understand that the guy really has a head for programming on NES...
But the site was freezed, I guess, from the very beginning... that's the end of 2008.
Year later, one guy on one forum (PM me if you wanna know what's that) who actually left only ONE post as a guest said that Dune2NES is already available in stores for Dendy Portable (ehrm... PM for this too) and he promised to dump it 'For The Chosen'. Obviously... that dimwit lied.

Okay, now your opinion on this side-story. Do you think it's PROBABLY fake or could be available if the author wouldn't abandon the project? Or, either, should such projects actually exist on NES?

P.S. Forgot to mention. He promised to post  the ROM for free on that site as soon as the project's ready.

I'd say the shots are quite convincing. But archive.org tells us that the page looked exactly the same back in December of 2007.

I dunno why, but the screenshots look too good for an NES.

Taking a closer look, the "gems' (whatever that red and orange thing is along with the blue counterpart) and those vehicles (...or what look like them to me) have about 4 colors. Of course you can pull that off on the NES with a sprite over another but the point of it here however seems useless. Looking at it normally, it just looks like a plain old black outline when it's really not.

So, it means that Kazakh guy was aping us all that time, huh? Well, this or that, that imaginary project is already considered to be dead.
