The R4 Card Brings NDS Home Brew To Your Pocket

There are far too many apps and games for the R4 DS Card for me to be able to write about all of them, and even if I could, it would be a work in progress as I would have to constantly update them as new titles were released.

Once you get your hands on your own Nintendo R4 Card you’ll soon realize that the list of games and apps that are available to you, is mind boggling. While I keep saying hundreds, there may very well be thousands of free home brew games and or applications that you can download and enjoy absolutely free.

Alright, so free must mean crap right? Wrong! They are excellent. They’re not illegal – no way. They are released as home brew games or home brew applications by the designers / coders / developers themselves for everyone to download and play or use them. The only stipulation of course is that you have a Nintendo R4 Card to be able to run homebrew games on your Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi system.

One of the best examples of excellent home brew is Rick Dangerous. One of the games that just scream AMAZING way back from the good old days of gaming. It originally came out for the C64 computer to be followed by versions fo the Atari ST and the Amiga 500. With the main character, and the whole story line adding comedy to the mix of platform action – you won’t be able to put it down.

Now, the game is available for your R4 DS Card and the Nintendo DSi in the form of a homebrew games, that is release for free by the developers. They have faithfully remade the game to be everything it was on those old systems, and you can get right into the thick of it with your R4 DS.

As much as I reference it, the game itself has nothing to do with the Indiana Jones franchise and is nothing like the movies in any serious way. I only compare the two characters as a reference, because Rick reminds me of Indy in so many ways. It is however a completely unique game, and one that should not be missed, especially considering the price of the game – FREE!

In all honesty, it is proabably the best example of a great platfrom style game for any game system. Rick Dangerous is the computer version of a Mario Style game, with even more features and extras to make it much better. It’s been quoted, compared and now re-made for those of you lucky enough to own an Nintendo R4 Card.
