Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take some of your favorite modern games and mash them into the retro stylings of the 80’s console systems, a la NES? I know I have. Games like Assassin’s Creed, Mass Effect, and Red Dead Redemption are all games that I’ve wondered how they’d play [...]
