Line 1:
I've always been into video games, ever since my father came home one day with an Atari 2600. Me and my brother would play for hours on end never minding the low end graphics or the light game play, it was just...fun.
It wasn't long though until Atari gave way to Nintendo and my brother left home to join the Army. Then it was just me playing Mario and Zelda for hours and hours into the night. Recently I had been thinking of those old times and decided I wanted to get back into
At first it was innocent enough I still had my old NES and a few games, and there's even a game store in town that sells the old carts for only a couple bucks each. But then I found out about emulators, thousands of games to play. Some of which were never released for the NES and some that were made by other gamers like myself. These were my favorites, old classic games that had been modified by other gamers to include things that we always thought should have been there in the first place.
I decided I wanted to try it myself, I mean how hard could it be? I can program in C++ and Java, I was sure I could learn and alter the old 6502 the NES uses. So I downloaded a user made dev kit and got a copy of
I booted up my dev kit and loaded the Bible Adventures ROM. It took me a couple of minutes of looking at the code to get a feel for how it was written. The commands were different than what I was use too and I had to look a couple of them up on the web but it wasn't much of a problem and before long I was reading it like it was English.
Line 13:
I started up my emulation program and loaded the re-assembled version of the Bible Adventures ROM and started it up. At first all I got was a brown screen with a few ASCII letters placed randomly across the screen. For half a second I actually thought of taking the cart out and blowing in it lol, until I remember that this was a ROM. Disappointed and thinking the subroutine must be preventing the game from playing I went for the mouse to shut the game off.
But before I could touch the mouse the opening screen for the game popped up. It looked the same as the actual cart, a black screen with a picture of what I think is supposed to be Mary holding Baby Moses with a blue bubble next to the picture for a selection screen. Only this time there was 4 selections to choose from instead of the normal 3. Noah's Ark, Baby Moses and David and Goliath were still there but added to the selection was
Then it dawned on me, the subroutine was another game selection intended to be apart of the game but for some reason was marked out of the program. I figured that the programmer must have ran out of time and was unable to finish the game, but then again why keep it? Why not just delete it from the file?
Line 21:
I left the room and got my headphones, plug them into the computer and increased the volume to max. The sound is hard to explain, kind of a buzzing, kind of a clicking, rhythmic but not music. I listened intently and started picturing strange things in my mind. I imagined myself on the top of a high bluff overlooking the ocean, an old sword was in my hand and a goat was before me chained to the ground. I brought the sword high above my head, intent on severing the goats head from its body when suddenly I was awoken by the scream of my girlfriend.
I opened my eyes to find I was kneeling in my kitchen.
