The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland |
---|
Also known as: Elmo in Grouchland
|
The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland is a game based off the 1999 movie of the same name, and is also the shortest Game Boy game.
Developer Message
Starting at 40000 in the European ROM:
Hello There Pilgrim... If you have hacked this ROM, you no doubt are reading this text. This game is basically a 2 Meg. Game. However, Nintendo, in their infinite wisdom, has decreed that the smallest ROM they will produce for the Gameboy Color is 8 Meg. -- Now, what to put in that empty 6 Meg.? So, the developers of the game decided to put .GIF pictures of themselves into the game. Why not? Might as well fill the void with something entertaining. See if you can retrieve them from this ROM. If you do, you win the prize. Please call (609) 466-2092 (in New Jersey, USA) if you have been able to view the two .GIF pictures, located in the rest of the upper 6 Megs of this ROM. We will have a nice reward for you... Good Luck! Roger W. Amidon September 28, 2000
Unused Graphics
True to the developer's words, there are two .gif files hidden at 80000 and C0000:
The first picture is of programmer Roger Amidon and his two sons. The second picture presumably has some of the other developers, but their identities are currently unknown.
