Matthew Herz: Gamer Bringing SNES Back With The Power of Mac













Honestly, if you're 25, 24, or even 26 27, you know that SNES was, by far, a superior to every console. It rivals the playstation, and i would say rivals playstation 2 where it's very own predecessor doesn't.

It stands the test of time. It's games graphics are unique and fully inhabit the imagination. The role playing games of SNES were like the best fantasy books ever. The gorgeous characters like Sabin and Terra from Final Fantasy III (I could go on... shout out to Locke, btw), to the very integrative nature of  being in control of their destiny's within their dynamic, hospitable, dangerous, adventurous, intriguing, beautiful, graceful,  self-enclosed world that was all accessible to us only through SNES and of course SNES emulators (what gamer wouldn't love a newly wrapped SNES for Xmas?)

It is for this reason that I am telling you, you must pay attention to Matthew Herz.

Matt Herz intimately and lovingly understands the collective love for the SNES RPG, and he captures the look and feel of being in those worlds with his first, what i'll call a mini-game, taking about 30 minutes to beat for the best gamers.

The story revolves around Thaddeus (You already know it's going to be good), a rabbit like character who is turned into another creature after eating a mysterious carrot. When an old lady finds that Thatddeus the Cabbit, that's half rabbit half cat, ate up her precious, ripe vegatables, she knocks him into the underworld. Taking a cue from Zelda's A Link In Time on SNES, the room designs are what give this game such great staying power. It provokes the "journey" sensation that gave those SNES games their awesomeness (i honestly can't think of a better word).
