Question, does the windows portable version include the second quest rom?

a genuine travesty that this game is not on the switch and yet is on ps4/ps5 and pc 

Hey, I hope you don't mind, but I have featured Micro Mages in the best NES homebrew games of all time.

I love this game so much! I just purchased this and put it on my Everdrive N8 Pro! My son (16) and I (45) play this as often as we can. This is my favorite couch co-op! Now I need to find a multi-tap for my NES! My ONLY question: what is the  Portable 1.0.1 version?

A very fun NES title. I really enjoyed the battle mechanics and bosses; blown away by the fact that you fit it into 40KB. Well done!

Ciao,

Bellissimo e divertentissimo.

Assolutamente non può mancare alla proprio collezione di un appassionato.

Super consigliato

At least a demo file no ?

The nes rom runs very good 60 fps constt on my android LGLV Running Android7.0 Nougat The nesrom is the way to go with this game also check out my game Jam DS Delight I'm challenging all developers to make their best Nintendo DS ROM within 5 days time

I'm still in awe with this game, going back to it and to the making of video basically every year. Back in the day Super Mario Bros. was considered to be a technological marvel, fitting so many levels and mechanics into a 40 kb game. But this game shows what was actually possible, and every decision is beautiful. For instance, all the devs on NES tried making characters bigger and bigger, while Micro Mages feature one 8x8 px sprite characters and showing that good artist can make characters look good even in 8x8 px. But what this gave is the ability to make much richer animations, and compared to Micro Mages, Mario's characters look like stagnant paper figurines. M.M.'s just feel so much more alive. Not only that, but making characters 4x smaller consequently makes the world 4x bigger! More things to see, explore and interact with. And also it allows the 4 players multiplayer mode to be a full-fledged game mode.

Then we have levels. They're packed with content both horizontally and vertically, and have lots of graphics in the backgrounds as opposed to just blank sheets. And the giant bosses at the end of each world provide much needed sense of scope, which again is multiplied in power by the small size of the player's character. They're well done and this spectacle rewards the  player for finishing yet another world, while in S.M.B. there's really only one boss. 

And if that's not enough, there's twice as much levels due to hard mode being the second half of the game! Which again features not only new challenges and harder enemies, but new graphical palettes as well, making it feel new (for instance 130 KB Ghosts'n'Goblins didn't feature new palettes in the second hard half of the game, and this 40 KB game does).

And the best part is that the game is not just a technical demo on a demo scene, but a finished super fun game! The challenges are fair, not too hard to feel obliged to quit but also not trivial. The controls and sounds give satisfaction from just playing the game. The levels are designed to be beatable wether the player has power ups like flying or lost them all. And of course they are designed to work in the hard half as well. So there's a lot of good game design there. 

This is no doubt one of my absolutely favourite NES games, it turned my phone into a much loved game console and gives me joy even when lying on a bed. And I just like going back to this marvel again and again, which gives me game development inspiration. Love your work, guys!

The game is a blast. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed playing it so much. When you end up with cramps in your hands it's good shit. Thank you so much for bringing it to life.

Is posible to play it in real machine nos?? Thanks.

I promise I searched the comments some before asking this - is 4-palyer co-op possible online on the Steam version? I was impressed with the graphics and music. For what is probably (or looks to be) a simple game, this looks very well done.

That manual is excellent. 👌

I originally got the ROM from the Steam version. It's worth buying again to add the Second Quest to your collection. I didn't know there was a Second Quest until I saw it hare. It's a great addition to an already great game.

Really a great game

Here is my tribute to your brilliant game...

Is there any difference between the NES and PC versions? Or is it a direct port/emulator?

Were is the Nes Download? Free?

This game is awesome! I love the pixel style and most, that there is a rom. Thanks for this gem! :)

Hi Morphcat games ! is there a demo file to play and publish your game ? Of course if you wish.

A very well done game. Super fun, super addicting, well worth the money. 

Playing this on the NES core of the amazing MiSTer FPGA platform.  It only takes a few notes of the title music to draw the whole family in for 4 player co-op fun.  The documentary video was so well explained and nothing short of inspirational for our kids.

Thanks so much for contributing Micro Mages to the itch.io bundle for racial justice and equality! I've been having fun playing and reviewing games from the bundle, and this one was a gem. Really enjoyed the behind the scenes video too! 40KB is nothing. 

In case you're interested in my review, here it is: https://knavegaming.com/micro-mages-review/

...but can it run on the Raspberry Pi 4?...

Wow, I just love your stuff guys! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

For me, this is a great game. Love those games who have nostalgia blasted on our faces.

this game  i remember  was free and i had it but now after i  reinstalled windows i cant get it now because its for moni :(

Every dollar spent on  ̶r̶e̶t̶r̶o̶  vintage games, is a dollar that can be spent on awesome indie games like this for classic consoles!

If you haven't seen it, do check out Morphcat games youtube video 'How we fit an NES game into 40 Kilobytes'. Imagine if "AAA" game devs did this? (would love to see what you would do with more space!) *cough Micro Mages 2 ? *cough

I'm ordering both a NES, and FC physical copies to play with my nieces on my AVS. :)

I think i speak for everyone when i say... I CAN'T WAIT FOR Micro Mages 2! *nudge *nudge, *harder nudge
