This submission is an attempt at reimagining OpenAlchemist, a simple puzzle game, as an NES/Famicom title.
What's interesting about this game is that, at the start, the player only sees three different pieces, all just being recolors of a single piece -- but they can open new pieces by combining the old ones. A developer is likely to sneak some "easter egg" pieces at the end -- which would only be found by the most experienced players.
It includes:
- all 12 pieces from all 3 styles, reimagined in fully NES compatible graphics,
- an 8x16 font with a basic set of punctuation (available in Grafx2 format),
- some simple background graphics (which, for some reason, illustrate a 2P mode OpenAlchemist never had, but should),
- a badly-drawn title screen.
It doesn't (yet^W ever) include:
- any visual effects.

Nice. Very convincing.
Funny, I was just looking into learning NES assemby and making games for it as a hobby. is this a sign sent from gnu/god?
I have been shown the one true path, developing free software for an 80s gaming system!
Alchemy Quest now exists.
Looks awesome! I'll check it out when I get the time.
