The Snowman - SillyVenture 2019 / Reboot

[+CyranoJ]

Here's a video of my 'little' Silly Venture 2019 entry:
 

 

I'll release the ROM before Xmas - it needs a JagGD cart to run (I will look into making a cut down 6mb ROM for skunkboard)

Enjoy, and get into that Xmas Feeling!

It isn't a video stream as such, its using the Bad Apple codebase.  Packed with NRV2 and using ADPCM @ 20.9Hkz.

Very cool, very cool!

That was one of my favorite holiday videos as a kid! 

And then I got a VCR copy in a bargain bin for like $1.  On Beta.   So that's long gone now.

Wow that's awesome. My 3 year old would love this!

Very cool, thanks for sharing.  There was a cut down version of this on the ST many many moons ago - I figured there was a longer story but never heard of the Snowman before.

Uploaded ROM in 1st post.

Just tried it, very impressive

I finally booted up my GD tonight for the first time - The Snowman was the first thing I tried. As I posted up in this thread a year ago it was one of my favorites.  So thanks for making it!
