Apparently this was popular around 2000, when I was already renting and copying PSX games myself and mostly playing multiplayer. (Also, my house started having a PC again that year, so I could emulate the NES there if I wanted).

Still, it would have been cool to play this around 97-99, in the PSX glory days (part of the dark era of 1995-2000 where my house didn't have a PC).

Another cool thing would be to have this running on a PSX emulator inside another emulated console, like the Dreamcast. (Bleemcast was never released except from a leaked beta, but a new PSX emulator for Dreamcast in the works: see this and this)

Hmmmmm... Maybe it's a coincidence? I googled "allan blonquist" and he seems to be an american guy that later became a game programmer.

But I suspect the combination of blue background, yellow letters and that particular, low-res font (on the PSX!) must be a CPC reference. Perhaps the new team that finished his job was British.

(Perhaps the font is CGA, but it looks like the Amstrad CPC mode 1 font for Locomotive Basic... Maybe the CPC used this CGA font, created previously?).

Well, it does say "It MIGHT be NES'. Maybe it's a 464 :D
