How to run
Download the .nes ROM. Open it in your favorite NES emulator.
I recommend to use Mesen for an optimal experience.
If you do not want to install an emulator, you can find a web-based one, then just drag and drop the .NES rom.
I found these working online html5/javascript NES emulators :
- https://app.7io.org/CycloaJS/ : Just drag and drop the .nes file on the webpage to start playing. [Recommended]
- https://jsnes.org/ : Just drag and drop the .nes file on the webpage to start playing. [Does not work entirely as expected]
