Thanks to your help and support we brought an original NES game to Steam! It's live right now here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/538220

We appreciate your patience while waiting for this release. It was incredibly difficult to port the game from NES to PC but we finally pulled it off. We hope you enjoy the game!

Oh and check out the Greenlight page for the mind-melting sequel here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=790172169

I guess we are rad enough...

As you can see we have been Greenlit on Steam!!!

I just want to extend a sincere Thank You to everyone who voted for our game!!!!!!!!!! The PC version of our original NES game "Haunted: Halloween '85" will appear in Steam's catalog and be available for purchase in the near future.

It really means a lot to us that there are gamers out there interested in new NES games. This is our passion and it's great to see others who share in that feeling. We will do everything we can to help bring the Steam community more and more games for our favorite console.

The game is currently available on cartridge and we are working on the Complete In Box versions that are going to drop in the near future.

The PC Version is in development and as you can guess, it's extremely challenging to mirror old hardware on new platforms, but we got this!

Until we meet again on the haunted streets of Possum Hollow,
Donny Johnstown & the Retrotainment Crew

Description

Release date: February 2016

Are you rad enough to accept the ultimate 8-bit challenge on Halloween night?

HAUNTED: Halloween '85 is a new NES homebrew game featuring side-scrolling, platforming, beat 'em up action!

It's Halloween in 1985, the town of Possum Hollow has been haunted by an evil presence, turning even your best friends into brain-craving zombies and innocent pumpkins into poisonous, death-dealing obstacles. To get to the source of the evil you will need to battle the haunts, climb trees, avoid jagger bushes, navigate underground caverns and come face to face with an unexpected evil that you must overcome in order to climb out of your own grave. Six unique bosses await you as you battle through six different levels of haunted suburbia. Take control of Donny Johnstown and fight like the little bit-kicker that he is to prove that you have what it takes to save Possum Hollow!

This game has been released on cartridge for the original Nintendo Entertainment System so it follows all the rules and restrictions of the original hardware. We are releasing an exact copy of that game in all its pixelated, 8bit, retro glory for your PC.

Authentic! I like it :)
It's just not particularly inventive or high quality. You can do a lot better with NES hardware.
Also, there are visual depth issues with some of the platforms.
