About This Game

A game about building emulators!

In the year 32767, the world suffered a massive cyber attack which destroyed the entire Internet. Since then, you and an online friend are trying to understand the sparse pieces of documentation about the NEEES, an ancient game console released in 1983. With your programming skills, you'll have to build an emulator that runs those old games, helping preserve video game history.

Key features

  • Full 🕹️ NEEES emulation guide from scratch, in JavaScript

  • Interactive 🔨 6502 Assembly tutorial

  • Implement 🧠 CPU, 🖥️ PPU, and 🔊 APU in any order

  • Play 👾 homebrew games to unlock ROMs

  • 🧪 Unit tests, video tests, and audio tests are provided

  • 💻 Unix-style shell and code editor

  • 🎶 Original retro-synthwave soundtrack

  • 📃 Included documentation and in-game dictionary

  • 🗣️ Fully localized into English and Spanish

  • 🐞 Powerful debugger with Memory Viewer, DisassemblyName tables, CHR, Sprites, Palettes, APU ChannelsControllers, and Emulator Logging
