Rolento linked to this on CAG and thought I'd share, ignore if old.

You need the Unity plugin.

I think it's pretty amazing.
I'd post a pic, but seeing it for yourself is best. :)

    That is pretty crazy. Never actually played Zelda 2, but that was pretty amazing.

    Zelda 2... the first-person shooter
    Friday 4-Jun-2010 12:37 PM Man remakes NES classic... as FPS. Genuine amazement follows...
    4 Comments

    A man has remade Nintendo's NES classic, Zelda II as a 3D first-person shooter. Prepare to waste your lunch break.

    Indie dev, Michael Johnston remade the entire opening section of the 20-year-old Zelda, which he admits was a huge challenge.

    "This game was incredibly fun to make. I am a fan of the original NES game and love its innovations and clever game design," he said of the project.

    "But as we all know, Zelda games are long and complex. When starting this project I had to choose very carefully what I had time to accomplish if this game was ever to see the light of day.

    "As a result I decided to remake the beginning of the game up to the end of the first boss. This seemed simple enough, but I knew it would be a challenge. This is the result of my learning programming for the first time and a labor of love making this game in 3D."

    Play the game for yourself over on the Zelda II FPS blog. Good job, Johnston.

    The screens really don't do it justice when playing the game for reals ... very trippy

    A full FPS remake of this would be frigging AWESOME on the Wii.

    Can't play this on the PCs at work because it doesn't have some Unity Web Player thingie installed. If only I were sys/admin.
