"The Legend of Cheb Hasni" - A new adventure for the Nintendo
Entertainment System This project arose from my renewed interest in
retro gaming and the nostalgic feelings it evokes. At the same time, I
wanted to tell the story of the Algerian Rai singer Cheb Hasni, who was
murdered by fundamentalists in 1994, and bring his beautiful music back
to life. Cheb Hasni returns to a dark world (the present) with his music
and enchanting voice to seek revenge. As a player, you assume the role
of Cheb Hasni, determined to make his beloved music resonate again and
dispel the darkness. The game has been released as an original NES game
and also as a retro arcade cabinet. The NES game offers a nostalgic
experience with pixel art graphics, 4 levels, a final boss, and
authentic 8-bit music by Cheb Hasni, while the arcade cabinet version
immerses players in an engaging arcade experience. Game contents: 3
levels, Final stage level, Enemies, and final boss, 3 soundtrack songs
by Cheb Hasni. *It took 2 years before the project could be realized.
The game has been fully programmed by myself.
