This isn't even the first legitimately interesting video game connection to McDonalds, weirdly. Treasure is an influential game development studio that did a lot of really interesting work in the mid to late 90s, responsible for games like Gunstar Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Bangai-o, Silhouette Mirage, Dynamite Headdy, Mischief Makers, Alien Soldier, and others. They were a bunch of ex-Konami developers (who…
That would have been cool if they did a run of physical cartridges, with the box and everything. Limited Run Games does runs of physical Gameboy cartridges still. They have to restyle things to not have Nintendo branding, but it can be done.
Curious which technique they use to bypass the Nintendo logo on boot

Maybe the author likes retro games and fast food? The anti-corporatism shtick is so lame. Just because something is done by a massive corporation doesn’t make the thing bad. Just because something is an advertisement doesn’t make it bad. I think this is pretty cool. Maybe I’ll buy some McDonalds today too.
I think this is pretty cool too, but um.. > Just because something is done by a massive corporation doesn’t make the thing bad I don't think anyone was saying this. Some airlines plant trees. That doesn't make planting trees bad. But massive corporations (with maybe ~1% or fewer exceptions) don't base their practices on anything remotely resembling bad or good, and this leads them to profit-seeking behaviours that ha…
The behaviour you’re describing as profit seeking is also really just value seeking, as in providing something that their customers value. I don’t think there’s substantial moral consequences one way or the other for a company to do this, but there’s nothing wrong with enjoying or commenting on a corporation providing a product that you value.

I was gonna eat McDonald's tonight anyway. Regardless of the sneering of the privileged commies who live around me.
"privileged commies" is a fascinating oxymoron. Is that really how you think of the people that disagrees with you?
I was just thinking of the last time I was waiting in my car at the McDonald's drive-thru with the rest of the proles, and a friend called. When I told him where I was, he had let out an involuntary "ugh" sound, and expressed that he can't believe I eat that garbage, let alone support that corporation. This particular friend owns a business that serves billion-dollar corporations, lives in a $1.2M house, drops $200 on bottles of wine at fine restaurants (where he's known for showing up in Transformers pajama bottoms) and grows almost all his own vegetables. Bernie stickers all over his (multiple) Subarus.
I guess "privileged commie" was a bit of wry shorthand, but it's not that much of a stretch.
This is using my gameboy emulator, binjgb[0], on the website! (well one of my gameboy emulators, heh [1][2]) It's been used as the emulator for GB Studio for a little while now, but I don't know how often people embed it in their websites, so it's really cool to see.

>Just be sure to order some McDonald’s to support them. Who knows… if we keep eating McDonald’s, they might keep producing these oddball retro gaming related projects. >I, for one, will NEVER stop eating McDonald’s. You have my word. Uh... hail marketing! Nothing quite like getting nostalgia exploited for corporate profits. But hey, its important to support... uh... 'retro gaming?'
They're clearly joking.

McDonalds makes ~$23 billion per year. You deserve something.
