Pokemon Uranium
For Pokemon Uranium I used a Gameboy sprite and rom editor to transform the game Pokemon: Yellow into an epic quest in which the player must find and capture dozens of different chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons. In order to capture new weapons the player must deploy nukes, launch anthrax attacks, and commit numerous other atrocities. For a player to expand their arsenal they must be routinely deploying weapons and devastating the landscape. This scorched earth is represented by a complex series of background shifts that eventually leave the player wandering a devastated and functionally unplayable landscape of distorted pixels. Pokemon: Uranium was uploaded onto a modified Gameboy cart which made it fully playable on the original Gameboy hand-held.
