8-bit Extravaganzza
WELCOME TO DOUBLE Z’S 8-BIT EXTRAVAGANZZA!
The “culmination” of five years of Double Z homebrews, 8-bit Extravaganzza is a 10-in-1 pirate multicart of all my NES programming projects, a personal progress report to see just how far I’ve come since dabbling in assembly coding when COVID sent us all indoors and made us all captives...
Provided within the readme are the instructions to the six main games within the Extravaganzza, most released on various websites. Previously unreleased variants are also accessible within this ROM.
Like any good pirate multicart, you’ll find several iterations of the same fantastic game. Because… who wouldn’t want seven strikingly similar variations of PONG???
With a simple stroke of Up, Down, and Start, let the main menu guide you on a journey of arcade-style, score attack, beeps and blips adventures, all designed for quick pickup play. As in the early 8-bit era, these games are “easy to play; difficult to master!”

(Special thanks to MottZilla for his 11-in-1 NES Multicart project. I was able to hack the output from that binary to configure the multicart hex code for this game.)
(I have so many more projects! Check them out here.)

Install instructions
Be sure to download the .pdf readme for complete play instructions.
8-bit Extravaganzza is best played on the Nintendo emulator of your choice (by downloading the attached .nes ROM and selecting it from within your favorite emulator). It can also be played on real hardware! Otherwise, there are two other options provided for playing the game...
1) An embedded emulator has been provided atop this page to allow you to enjoy the game in your browser, with touchscreen capabilities for your mobile device.
To get back to the main menu, you may need to hit the back button and do a refresh / F5 (to revert from "Restore game" to "Run game").
2) As an added bonus, a .zip file with an executable that'll directly run the ROM in Windows has been provided as well! Extract the files to a folder, double click the .exe file in that folder, and try it on your PC! Try it with Steam! Thanks for playing!
