    GrandTheftendo: dead or alive?

    A while back their was a game for the NES a programmer that visits this forum was working on called Grandtheftendo, which was essential GTA3 re-done for the NES. I just checked to see if it ever got released, and the main site is down, with people on various boards thinking its dead but no real confirmation.

    So anyone know what the deal is with it?

    Yeah, the guy's name was Brian Provinciano, and his site (http://www.bripro.com) is down as well as www.grandtheftendo.com. I guess it's possible he's just having hosting issues, but I wouldn't hold out much hope to see the end product.

    Don't you think we would have heard if he was sued though?

    It doesn't always get public...
    Sorry modern age, I don't feel like paying for something I can't hold in my hands...

    Yeah, they'd just quietly send a cease and desist.

    I'd be willing to bet that either the product never existed or he is just hiding right now.

    I'm pretty sure it existed. He had pictures on the website of gameplay and some blueprints made for the maps.

    remembers this pretty well too. Looked liked very much like the "Driver 2" game for Game Boy at it's time...

    He made open source the Assember he was using to code GrandTheftendo.
