Isle Quest

Intro

This page documents the development of an NES game. It’s a random pet project that I work on when I have a few free hours now and then. Right now it’s buggy but functional, and contains an over world and one dungeon.

Development of this game is paused indefinitely.

 

Remember: This is an alpha game. It WILL have bugs!

Note:  The game shown above is based on the last compiled version of the game. If I do something dumb, it can break. If that is the case, please try again later. (or an old version)

Controls

  • Control Pad (arrow keys) – Move.
  • B Button (Z) – Use Item
