Ninjalerts CEO Trevor Owens told Cointelegraph that there’s no better place to immortalize data than on Bitcoin.
A group of on-chain ninjas has inscribed an emulator for the classic home video game console Nintendo 64 (N64) on the Bitcoin (BTC) network as they campaign for the preservation of classic video games using the blockchain.
This isn't Ninjalert’s first effort at preserving games through the Bitcoin network. On Jan. 8, the Ninjalerts team inscribed the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator on Bitcoin. Apart from preserving games, the project was also an attempt to raise the technical bar for Bitcoin Ordinals projects.
Weeks later, someone else took a crack at inscribing a video game on-chain using Ordinals. Following Ninjalerts, a pseudonymous developer called “Mini Doge” inscribed the 1990s-style first-person shooter game Doom on the Dogecoin blockchain using the Ordinals protocol on Jan. 23. This allows users to play the free version of the classic game by accessing the Dogecoin network.
