Star Trek LCD games in your holodeck browser

I collaborated with the amazing developer Itizso to bring a couple of handheld LCD Star Trek games to browser screens! Itizso did all the development and I added in some assets and testing.

You can play it in your browser here.

Press 1 to start. Press Up to jump and Left and Right to move (including in midair). Catch chicken drumsticks to replenish health and avoid everything else. Press Left to eat lasagna and fill your jump meter. When it's full, press Ctrl to do a super jump - reach Odie to complete the level. There's also occasional bonus levels.

I get being upset about the price of Switch 2 games (I already feel a crisis debating buying a $60 game).

...comparing it to the price of a Nintendo DS game isn't a fair comparison at all.

Another "Puzzle Card" commission of six personalized sketch cards that I received earlier this year from talented Mexican artist Marco Carrillo based on the first Konami Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles LCD electronic handheld game (released 1989 in North America, I think). The concept of the original game revolves around the Turtle/Turtles (the "sprites" all resemble Leonardo using a katana) braving the dangerous traps and enemies on ground and underwater to save April O'Neil held captive in “Shredder’s Asylum.” Marco expanded upon the concept to feature Raphael battling Mousers and Flap Jaws (top left), Leonardo with a defeated Foot Soldier (top middle), Shredder with April in the Asylum trap (top right), Michelangelo (bottom left), Foot Soldier getting destroyed by the "Turtle Cutter" trap (bottom middle), and Donatello acquiring a bomb (bottom right). Taken together, the puzzle has something of a relay system. For such a familiar video game to the generation of turtle-loving kids who grew up with the franchise, it's surprising to me how little love this thing gets in regards to fan-art tributes. Meanwhile, the infamous NES game is meme-worthy enough due to the "Dam Level" alone. But I'm glad I was able to help Marco bring this set to life!

It's kind of absurd that it took a decade before anyone took a swing at an idea of this sort.

NINTENDO GAMEBOY

Being a non-gamer, then Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi would give the game to his superstar programmer Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of their most popular franchises Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, to see what he thought. Several days later, Miyamoto confirmed to Yamauchi that it was a great game and when Yamauchi asked why, Miyamoto responded “Because even your secretaries and accountants are playing it!"
