You may remember how Disney invented a real-world pseudo-history for Wreck-It Ralph when the animated movie came to theatres last year. There was that artfully aged arcade cabinet that showed up at E3 last year and a commercial that homed in on the cheesiness of old-school arcade advertisements. And, of course, there was the Fix-It Felix, Jr. companion game that came out for browsers and mobile, which played just like a Donkey Kong clone from 1982 would have. Now, that game is travelling backwards in time for real, with a fan-made port for the long-dead Sega Genesis.
RetroConnect reports that a version of the Fix-It Felix Flash game now has a homebrew Sega Genesis emulator version, has been ported by enthusiast programmer Future Driver. Nostalgists with working Genesis/Mega Drive consoles and add-ons like the EverDrive cart can get their Felix vs. Ralph fix on right now.
