The Great Gatsby - For NES
If anybody has more info about this please let me know ! As it is, I really don't know much about this game. I found it at a yard sale. I bought it for 50 cents and went home to try it out. After dusting off my NES for like, 20 minutes I got it working, and jesus. So weird. Apparently it's an unreleased localization of a Japanese cart called "Doki Doki Toshokan: Gatsby no Monogatari", but I haven't found anything about that either. What's left of the manual was just rubberbanded to the cartridge.

how NES music was made - The Shizz
There were no tools to speak of so everything was entered as numbers in the assembler/editor. Later on I turned the numbers for command codes into macros to make entering and reading the sequences of notes a little easier but that’s as sophisticated as it got. I worked out tunes on a little Yamaha keyboard and typed in the pitches and durations. Often I’d work out timings on some squared graph paper, mostly by trial and error.”
