While We Wait: Boredom Strikes Back

[das]

We started out as a sub-forum there, and stayed there for the longest time. Could've as easily still been there.

History GamezRule, we like to keep in touch with it, and I think a lot of the old-timers hold a sentimental attachment to it. It's good to have connections to all of the story fora, to be honest, because they're a great place for an influx of writers and people interested in the sort of things NESing has to offer.

Hmm, I wonder if we should try to get little redirects from other stories and tales sections of this site...

 

[Birdjaguar]

Make a list and I'll see if the admins mind.

I was a bit shocked to see Sym D show up today.

 

[Abaddon]

Well quite simply S&T for both Civ4 and Civ5.

I joined Nes after reading the civ3 stories.
Anybody ever make a Mount&Blade Nes? That would be pretty easy.

Not that I know of.

It's always risky to say something's easy to moderate. That line has a habit of coming back to bite people.

 

[Condor_green]

Oh don't worry, I won't try to moderate anything.
God anything I would moderate would be horrible.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Not to discourage you from modding! But it's always a commitment.

 

[Abaddon]

Condor, I vaguely remeber you.. what NES have you played in?

 

[flyingchicken]

So, here are very rough conversions of the PNES maps for the morbidly curious:

Spoiler Cut Miller :

Spoiler Equirectangular :

I played in one you modded way back in 08.
I played in one one of Ninja_Dude's godnes but only for a little.
Never really did all that much though, unfortunately.
I used to play Ayutthaya a lot.

I was off today and got fairly bored so I read the entire JNES Civilization NES and LuckyNES (The one in which I was the French Empire) and it brought back some good memories, not to mention eating away like 5 hours of my time. I do not regret it one bit.

I really hope one of the two above NESes see a revival.

 

[Daftpanzer]

@flyingchicken thats very cool, do you have a way of converting back from Equirectangular to Winkel Tripel? I'm wondering what my DaftNES2 map would look like (for example, this)

 

[Northen Wolf]

@Fc

Spoiler :

I suck compared to you. My earth could use a bit more smoothing, just a low-poly sphere (that's why it's so square).

 

[Daftpanzer]

Like I'm honored you did that

In 'reality' I think there would be bigger ice caps off the top/bottom edges of the map, so the land would not stretch vertically so much.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Looks cool!

 

[Terrance888]

Only if we can all NES with that...

Ah, memories. Nice globe, squarishness aside.
