  1. Oops, finalized them but didn't remove this! It's good now.
  2. Unusual week for me and I mean really. Arcade: Baraduke - 20 min Bosconian - 10 min Contra - 5 min Ms. Pac Man - 5 min Pole Position II - 10 min Browser: Paku Paku - 18 min Microsoft Xbox 360: Mr. Driller Live - 75 min Such a beautiful game. Novadrome - 5 min Robo Blitz - 35 min I appreciate what it was going for but it just isn't very fun. Milton Bradley Microvision: Blockbuster - 5 min Bowling - 5 min Blitz/Alien Raiders - 10 min Nintendo 3DS: Kirby Planet Robobot - 11 min Just played the minigames, not the real game. Nintendo Game Boy: Super Hunchback - 12 min Nintendo Game Boy Advance: Racing Fever - 31 min Finished the game. Nintendo Super NES: Top Gear 2/Top Racer 2 - 301 min Played the first track over and over again for a challenge then played the first third of the game. Really superb and highly recommended. I think in the course of the challenge (in which I am currently tied for first) we have set the world record for the first track, Australiasia - Auckland, at 2'34"42. It may be the physical limit on the fastest the track can be run. PC: Logiart Grimoire - 66 min I sponsored a puzzle - here it is if you want to try it! Solution: Sega Genesis: Winter Challenge - 15 min I still enjoy this fixture of my childhood a good deal.
  3. I'd also like to at some point go back to the origins of Vectrex homebrew: John Dondzila's Vector Vaders, Malban's VFrogger/Karl Quappe, and Clay Cowgill's Moon Lander.
  4. One thing to be aware of is that Packrat is on hiatus with no word of when he will return. Space Frenzy and Vectrexagon are both available for download so that shouldn't be a problem. I'd like to nominate KnightEx by phob0z. It's a fun Joust clone that does a lot right.
  5. I have not been a very good helper. Can I work on anything?
  6. You should start a ko-fi or a gofundme or something. I would be eager to kick in towards an upgrade! It's the least we can do.
  7. Who are you playing as? I find that only Buzz has the range needed to get through the game. Ty and Kato theoretically should be able to do well with their greater agility and speed but their range is shorter and that means death. I was stuck at Angel for a long time but then got a good rhythm. The secret is pushing her (and every other opponent, really) into the lower-right corner and letting the crazy lady with the knife attack her from one side while you attack from the other. That was pretty much my one strategy for the game, come to think of it.
  8. Yes, that version is good! I have definitely accidentally started new games unintentionally a lot. I had to steel myself on my last score to not hit any buttons after I died, haha.
  9. Since I will forget about them by the time next week rolls around, some additional gaming, particularly Virtual Boy homebrew: Arcade: Avenging Spirit - 60 min (more) Beat the arcade version too. Both really great games. Obviously the arcade game is better at being an arcade game, but I found the choices made porting it to Game Boy to be very interesting and logical. It's easier in some ways and harder in others, particularly one boss. But it's amazing how faithful they managed to stay to the original. It has to be the Game Boy game with the widest variety of playable characters, by a large large margin. Atari 2600: 3D Tic Tac Toe - 5 min Virtual Boy: Capitan Sevilla 3D - 10 min Fishbone Rumble - 20 min Hamburgers En Route to Switzerland - 10 min
  10. Yeah, Zaxxon is a killer port. Probably the best overall.
  11. Here is an overview of the palette changes: https://www.smspower.org/Development/Palette#MasterSystemMarkIII
  12. Well, SG-1000 game colors are screwed up on Game Gear and Master System unless some magic has been done...
  13. Apple iOS: Among Us - 48 min Arcade: Avenging Spirit - 173 min Discs of Tron - 35 min Don Doko Don - 15 min Saint Dragon - 15 min Atari Lynx: Bowling Beast - 12 min Captain Harlynx - 8 min Escape from the Dungeon of Deja Vu - 15 min Final Melee - 15 min Fortress Fighter - 18 min Grogger - 22 min Rainbow - 20 min Running Knight - 15 min Scooternia - 18 min Shuriken - 20 min Silly Archery - 13 min Ynxa - Leaf and the Guardians of Time - 25 min Browser: Paku Paku - 9 min GCE Vectrex: Cognitive Test Cart Rev 1 (aka Yet Another Simon) - 10 min Man - Woman - Camera - Television Galaxy Wars/Space Launcher - 25 min Gravitrex - 35 min Strike Force (And Strike) - 5 min And strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and... Time Trail - 20 min I can't understand the map in this and it is obscenely hard as a result. Microsoft Xbox 360: 1942: Joint Strike - 35 min Beat Hazard - 20 min Cloning Clyde - 35 min Every Extend Extra Extreme - 75 min Lumines Live - 60 min Meteos Wars - 35 min Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix - 30 min Nintendo 3DS: 3D (Classics?) OutRun - 31 min Boulder Dash XL 3D - 48 min Picross-e - 12 min Nintendo DS: Big Bang Mini DS - 7 min Dream Pinball 3D - 3 min Rooms: The Main Building - 34 min Zenses: Rainforest - 5 min Nintendo Game Boy: Avenging Spirit - 64 min Stop That Roach! - 15 min Nintendo Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super Mario World - 5 min Nintendo Switch: Kirby and the Forgotten Land - 15 min The Knight Witch - 10 min qomp2 - 75 min Tetris 99 - 30 min Sega Game Gear: Baku Baku Animal - 15 min Sega Genesis: Arrow Flash - 60 min Sega Master System: Lander2 - 10 min The Speccies 2 - 30 min
  14. Somehow one of the Atari Homebrew Award nominees never got a thread of its own, and it really deserves one. If you somehow haven't yet played it it's a must-play. One of the many creative uses of the tileset chosen for LynxJam 2023, Grogger casts the set of fantasy type characters as patrons at a bar. You are the titular Grogger, dispensing flagons of grog to the ceaseless hordes of snails, pumpkinheads, adventurers, knights, and so on. It's free to play in the browser and to download, and Ganksoft (@peekb) continues to work on it, recently adding high score saving! https://ganksoft.com/products/grogger/ My only constructive criticism is that the difficulty seems to plateau after a while and then it's just a test of how long you don't make a stupid mistake. I think either the terminal speed should be faster or maybe some other element could be added to add challenge later in the game. I'm really looking forward to the finished product. The jam version is available on the anthology cart from @Igor: https://k-retro.com/homebrew-games/382-198-lynxjam-2023-same-but-different.html
