Another homebrew Game Gear game

Insomnia does wonders for video game making. Presenting my newest project's title screen.

Hey, why not? That's all I have so far, just the title screen. And even this took a few hours.

I could go to sleep for a million years. But I can't because my stomach hurts. So I worked on this a little bit more. I added a title tune. I was thinking about doing "Yellow Submarine", but the submarine is not yellow, so instead I went with "In the Navy." That and I think "In the Navy" was easier to figure out how to do. Tested and works great on real hardware. Of course, there was not much to test.

Nice I like submarine games

Well, I worked on this all night as well as for a few more hours during the last few days, and I got a maze. I would have liked to post this on SMS Power! but it seems to be down at the moment. So here.

I worked on this again and got the game to go to the title screen once the sub reaches the chest.

It's gonna be neat when you have this game on pretty much every system

I decided that since I couldn't get the barriers working for level 3 that it was signalling a time to move on. So now I'm working on a Game Gear version of my INTV game "Bananas Are Good."

I figured out how to make it play "Yes, We Have No Bananas." The ROM is here: http://www.atari2600land.com/bananasaregood/banana20151214gg.zip

I figured out why the score changes color from black to green upon pressing start to start the game. I fixed it so it's always green. I also added a swatter. No flies yet. That's next.

I got the fly up and moving. I spent about 2 or 3 hours on this. The hardest part was trying to make him move randomly.

Press button 2 when the fly is under the swatter to swat him. Notice if you have button 2 pressed, you can't move around. This was done to make the game a little bit harder.

I got a timer in the game. Download it. Play it. Tell me your thoughts on it.

Added a sound when a fly is swatted and the fly goes down.

Title screen improved.

I apparently thought it was January 6 when it was January 5. Even though the previous file name is the same, the contents are different. So download this one.

I added a "game over" screen at the end. I think I also got rid of the blinking score problem I was having, at least on real hardware. This is the last update for today. Let me know what you think of the game.

In case you don't have a Game Gear or emulator, I made a short YouTube video about the game:

I had discovered that when the screens change, there were some weird squares pop up for a fraction of a second where the text used to be. I think I fixed that problem.

As it turns out, I didn't fix that problem. So unless you see something I should change, I consider this the final version of "bananas are good" for the Game Gear.

Added a swatting animation to the hand when the button is pressed.
