You may remember a few months ago we did an interview with game developer Eric Ruth who was creating a version of Valve's hit zombie co-op shooter Left 4 Dead as a NES 8-bit title. Now the game has been completed and is available as a free game download for the PC.
This game allow players to go through all four single player campaigns in the original Left 4 Dead or you can bring in a friend for some two player co-op (sadly there's no four player co-op available). All four characters are available with two difficulty levels and all of the primary and secondary weapons. This is the first game in a planned series of titles that will adapt current games to play like they were made for older systems.

Ugh. I really wanted to like the game, but the controls are just awful. I don't get why he went with a "ASDW" control layout when it's not even a FPS. It's even worse since I don't even use that control scheme with first-person-shooters to begin with. It's also horrible that the zombie sprites can stay right on top of your character and you have to melee them off of you just go be able to take a shot at them. It is a free fan-made mod though, so I guess I can't complain that much.Posted at 1:39PM on Jan 5th 2010 by thatguyrom
