This is soooo cool. I remember Christmas when I was 6, it was a choice between a computer, and an NES, and I wanted the NES, but instead my parents bought me the computer, and was that an awesome decision - going against my wishes, and giving me something that when powered on showed a bunch of crap that wizzed by, and then a blinking cursor at the C: \ prompt. The guy who we bought the computer from showed me a few tricks and tips on how to use it, and from then on, it was Cycles, Commander Keen, Leisure Suit Larry, Duke Nukem of course, and a ton of other games. Those were the days, but they were just as good as my next computer which allowed me to play Doom, Heretic, Hexen, and the rest. I got the NES the next Christmas, but by then, Sega, TG-16 and the Neo Geo were the systems to get, but way too expensive. I played the NES so much, one day I was not being a good little boy, and my dad, pissed off with me, just took it and smashed it. I cried forever, but I still had my PC, and I'll never forget it and all these games that were so cool back then.

-I've seen a million and one NES modern retro games-
Yes! That was my thought exactly! Which is why when I decided to make a retro throwback myself I decided to go with the C=64 style.
Some of my favorites from this era were Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure and Dangerous Dave and the Haunted Mansion.
Retro City Rampage was really done in a NES style. The guy who developed it even originally wanted to make it an actual NES game. He showed a video of a prototype he made running on the NES. Here is a link to the video. The Making of: ROM City Rampage (Retro City Rampage)
It looks pretty good, have a good one man. -_-

Oh the beauty of EGA graphics. I grew up with dos games, they were great. I have been meaning to go through my dads floppy archives because there were some really great games. I wish I just remembered the names of all the great games that I played because I always had some simple name for the games, some I do remember like Alley Cat and Aldos Adventure, but there was one platformer game thats name I dont remember where you would control guy that looked like he was in a grey space suit and it had different weapons and maybe branching paths. So many memories on old DOS games, they are the best.

Makes me wish some indie developers will now also develop games similar to the VGA games of the 90s such as Wing Commander, Secret of Monkey Island, Ultima, Strike Commander before the PC developers went all FPS and RTS (don't get me wrong, I love Doom, Half Life, Dark Forces, Command and Conquer, and Starcraft.
And while we are at it, please indie developers, also make some Amiga like games from its golden period (titles such as James Pond 1&2, It came from the desert, Fire Force, Walker) before developers focused on bringing the PC experience to the Amiga.

I think something was wrong with the 32 FPS mode on your system because it's not supposed to go that fast.
Me personally, while I don't think there's anything majorly wrong with the game, I don't think it really reaches the same standards set by those old DOS platformers. But then, that's the beauty of these modern titles that take after older games: We're each hit by nostalgia differently. For instance, I loved Retro City Rampage! :)
I also find it ironic that you gave the main character the voice of Duke Nukem given her gender. ;D

This game is great! I had only just heard about it two days ago!
There's actually at least four other indie devs working on DOS-style titles right now.
On the subject of Retro City Rampage:
It had actually been originally developed as a NES homebrew title, before the author decided to scrap the Rom format, and create a PC friendly version of the game.
He actually eventually went back and built the game as a proper NES Rom, the emulated game is now an easter egg in the newer releases of the game.

Well, this is very dissapointing: Only windows.
I think it will be much cooler if it was a real DOS version!
Not only you would play it under Unix/Linux, but imagine to just copy it on a floppy disk and play it on a real machine!
They could even include one of those retarded anti-copy things with the words, just so in some years someone could release one of those cracks with weird music and flashing credits, and you where able to put any puerile word on the anti copy question and it got accepted.

I grew up playing DOS games, in 1990 we got a brand new 486, and we had so many DOS games, and when we started using the internet in 1996 me and my brother found sites to download shareware titles and fell in love with the Apogee sidescrollers, and you started playing this game I first thought Duke Nukem 1.
We need more of these, I would like someone to make a FPS in the style of Wolf3D

If you haven't already, check out Daniel Remar's other games - he's a pretty prolific developer. Iji, Hero Core and Hyper Princess Pitch are seriously three of the best freeware games I've ever played. I liked them so much that I bought Muri the moment it was released, simply because I felt like I owed the guy some money for all his hard work.

I was too young when this kind of game was the big thing to really get that full nostalgia buzz, but I do remember them, and it's fantastic to see that some developer out there is taking the risk of trying to create something for the people like LGR that still love this kind of old school.
