    That is pretty cool, but your link only goes to a picture.

    I did get a chance to play around with it and with a quick bit of coding I was able to get it running on the C3. I do like the approach of having both TV driver and VGA driver integrated into the same program and loaded from the SD card. I was thinking about doing a VGA version myself since Baggers released a nice VGA driver a while back, but it didn't seem like there is much interest in Propeller gaming to do so.

    The batch converted graphics look pretty decent considering that the VGA setup has a lot less colors, but it does give me an itch to go back and try to re-do some of the graphics for VGA. It feels like the old EGA based games on the PC :)

    This looks great!

    Hmm - I wonder if we can port it to a touchscreen? The latest dual screen touchscreen propeller board averagejoe and I have designed means you could have one running the display, and the other could be the controller with big arrow buttons etc. Could be a bit of fun...

    It can be played with a keyboard. Uses Demoboard settings for VGA, Keyboard, and Audio.

    It plays more like Zelda and you can use either NES controller or keyboard. I believe with that version there are also other controller options that you can use like a Wii controller. There is a video of the gameplay on the original thread so you can get a feel for what it plays like.
