Left 4 Dead (NES Version)

I imagine readers of Eurogamer or Kotaku would have already seen about a guy called Eric Ruth's unofficial NES inspired port of Left 4 Dead (link here). Once you get over the initial "Look how cute they are! Awww, look at the little boomers!" style fawning, there's a fun little game there. Although they'll be plenty of fawning. From the midi file music covers to the title screen there's plenty to smile about. I'm pretty terrible though, only managed to get as far as halfway to the second safe room. Never was very good at the old top down shooter.

Anyway, I saw that the game was made in a little program called Game Maker (link here) which made me wonder if I could have a go. So I downloaded it and had a go at the tutorial. Seemed simple enough. Then our internet and TV went down for about 8 hours so I felt fate was telling me to make something and make something I did. I give you Kris Akabusi's Health Munch.
