Oh wow, you won that cartridge? Nice :) The Marathon seems to be going well, they already have more than $30k in donations.

The run of Color a Dinosaur was legendary. It was played extremely well, despite the fact that it was non TAS. Some tricks couldn't be used but it was still the most amazing gaming display of the marathon so far.

All this time I thought it was simply a ridiculous inside joke whenever a submission included "(Does Not) Color(s) a(n) X".

It is. At least now you know why it's a ridiculous inside joke. They normally have a story behind them...

The sad thing about this game is that it could have been much better, even on the NES. The developers just didn't try hard enough, made a mediocre and basically unfinished product and tried to sell it. It's almost like some clever coder had come up with an idea, made a prototype of the idea (iow. an alpha version of the program) and rather than develop it further it was just slightly padded (with some additional pictures) and shipped as-is. A bit like the horrendous Atari 2600 Pac-Man.

Its rendering engine was truly revolutionary for its time. But I think it would have been a lot more enjoyable if it had let you color hamsters too..
