Top 5 Nintendo DS Homebrew Games You Can Play With Your R4 DS Card.
the NDS / NDSi are both absolutely fantastic gaming systems. But when you put the NDS together with the R4 DS and mix it up, a whole slew of homebrew games come to life and are yours for the taking, often times better than or equal to commercial games in stores.
1) LemmingsDS – An amazing classic game and it’s back. Strategy, comedy and awesome gameplay!
Lemmings was truly a trend setting game and probably set the stage for many of todays puzzle / strategy games.It was so popular that it went on to have versions made for the PC as well as the C64 computer.I honestly think that this game actually set the standard for many of our favorite strategy / puzzle games.All of the original 120+ levels that could be found on the Amiga version of the game, remade for the NDS.So you get every single, identical stage/level originally created for the Amiga computer, and later the C64 computer as well.A must have game for anyone that loves funny, classic style games.
2) Quake DS – While not the first – it really is the orignal FPS game!
The original and must have version of Quake for the PC – one of the first games that set the bar for FPS games.There really isn’t anymore to say.Possibly the game that put first person shooters on the map.It is now available for the NDS / NDSi but you’ll need an R4 DS Card to play it with.Masterfully re-created for the Nintendo DS, DS Lite and the new Nintendo DSi system.
3) Xrick – A Port of Rick Dangerous for the Nintendo DS
Another classic game that you always want to go back to and play over and over again.Just put xRick and your R4 DS and into your Nintendo DS to be transported back to a time when side scrollers and platform game were all the rage – and perfected. Rick Dangerous was probably one of the most popular side scrolling games of it’s time, right niext to Giana Sisters. Anyone that didn’t own a Nintendo DS, had either one, or both, of these games as an alternative.Side Scroller adventure game taken to it’s full potential. Challenging, great graphics, and loads of fun!
4) DSLinux – This puts a portable Linux Computer in your pocket by way of your Nintendo DS
Yes, the much desired and wanted / requested Linux for your Nintendo DS. Before cards like the R4 DS Card, it was unimaginable for us to be able to load linux onto a system that fit in the palm of our hands.While there are several ports of this even for linux and differend game systems, you can’t really truly enjoy it that way you can with an R4 DS in your NDS because of the amazing touch game play.Because you can use the NS Stylus as a mouse, just as you would use it on your PC you truly do get the sam benefit of loading all of your favorite games and apps, etc… On the Nintendo DSi console.No longer just for personal computers, with the r4 DS card you can have linux on a new platform. If you have a Nintendo DSi, then you’ll need the R4i SDHC version of the R4 DS Card.
5) ScummVM – The only way to really have the chance to play those old point and click adventure games!
If you absolutely love point and click games, like Monkey Island, Beneath a Steel Sky or others, then you have to try ScummVM.ScummVM is the ScummVM project. The ScummVM project is an attempt to re-engineer many classic point and click adventure games of the 80s and 90s to run on modern computer hardware. Technology has changed a lot since these games were written, and so ScummVM attempts to replicate the gameplay of the original games in exacting details, without any of the original code that the game ran on. ScummVM, unlike many emulator project or rather, remakes of games, actually does need the original classic game so that it can use the graphics and sounds from the original. ScummVM was written and coded in a manner that quickly and easily allows it to be ported from one operation system / machine to the next.
That’s all for this week – for now.Next week I will talk about and introduce you to a whole slew of emulators for older computer and console systems, all of which can be played on your NDS with the R4 DS Card
