11 or 12 years ago, I had an idea idea: what if I replaced the sound core of a NES emulator with the Jingle Cats? Instead of playing simple square waves, trigger goofy samples that play at the appropriate pitch.

I built a prototype of this, based on BizHawk, and it was delightful! But I never released it, because I never quite got a reasonable UI for providing and tuning the samples. The only evidence of its existence is a YouTube archive of a twitch stream I did. Over the years, the codebase got absurdly out of date, and I had no good way to bring it up to speed. But the project has never entirely left my mind, and I've been threatening to ressurect it for years.

Well, the time has finally come. Behold Meowio, a hack of JSNES that, once and for all, answers the question, "what if the NES had a sound chip that meowed at you?" Comes with a fun selection of ROMs and samples out of the box, and also allows you to supply your own!

It's time to walk down the shops. What could possibly go wrong? I mean, other than the shops being shut.

In a dystopian future where all adults over the age of 29 are executed by the state, you, a new Sandman recruit, must train your firearm skills by shooting a spinning can in midair to make it bounce upward. Featuring an acclaimed soundtrack by Wario Ware Inc.'s own 9-Volt.

You can score bonus points by hunting and shooting "points of interest" as they appear. It's up to you to guess as to what those are!

An unsourced online article states: "The North American, or NTSC, version of Stadium Events is universally accepted as the rarest licensed NES game available for purchase in North America." YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE NORTH AMERICAN VERSION OF STADIUM EVENTS*! Now is your chance -- PROBABLY YOUR ONLY CHANCE, EVER IN YOUR LIFE -- to own a game that is exactly the same as a terrible, extremely common NES game except for the title screen!

* This auction is for the SHAREWARE version of Stadium Events, which is much more common than the registered version since copying was encouraged. The registered version is so rare because it costs $41,300.
