"The 8-Bit Dr. Horrible project is an interpretation of Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog as a theoretical Nintendo game. All music, sound effects, graphics and animation were created by me as a tribute to Dr. Horrible (Joss Whedon) and the NES." -Doctor Octoroc

Programs used in the creation:

1. Graphics: Adobe Photoshop
2. Animation: Adobe Flash
3. Sequencing: FL Studio
4. Instruments: NES+MidiNES
5. Mastering: Adobe Soundbooth
6. Sound Effects: SFXR

There was a plan to turn the whole project to a fully playable game, but unfortunately it has been put to ice due to some legal issues.

"I’m currently trying to get I just got in touch with a contact over at Mutant Enemy about turning 8-Bit Dr. Horrible into a playable game for various platforms (PC/MAC, XBox Live, PSN and possibly others)." -Doctor Octoroc
