Hmm, actually, it’s quite a bit stranger. Is it any good? I really couldn’t say. I think it’s art.

It’s split into three YouTube videos here; you can watch it in one video at the creator’s site, or you can download the ROM and run it in your favorite NES emulator. Or you could buy the cartridge for, say, $20,000 and play it on a real console.
