Just a little word about Dimo's Dungeon:

i am currently working on a NTSC port.

All known bugs are fixed for Dimo's Dungeon NTSC.
It behaves nicly so far on NTSC maschines, as my american testers told me.

i have to adjust PAL->NTSC colors now and then it will be done. :-)
expect the NTSC release in a few days...

(or, if you wanna test it now, send me your email address)

1. At Arion Line - found I played it quite a lot longer than I anticipated

2. Blowsub - easy to pickup and learn

3. Atari Blast - wow technically but not really my type of game.

4. Dye - great idea

5. Skyscraper - liked it as a tenliner but the "full" version is even better as a casual timekiller

6. Graviten - extremely impressive for a ten-liner

7. Cabbage - loved the idea of a ten-line text adventure with a motif everyone knows.

8. Cyctriks - graphically impressive, I found it a bit hard to play

9. Megaoids - based on looks - seems to be commercial only

10. Tank M4 battle

 

I am aware that my voting is highly subjective.

I must say that 2016 was a really good year for Atari 8-bit games, maybe the best in Kaz Kompo history so far

 

You may download the Excel file with votes from here.

There was a prize drawing and rdea6 was one of the lucky voters (rdea6, please contact with Xeen).

For Laura fans around the world: there should be published Czech and French version soon.

[+Philsan]

For Laura fans around the world: there should be published Czech and French version soon.

I hope Spanish and Italian versions too.

Translations are ready since August.

[+CharlieChaplin]

Laura: waiting for latin, greek, egyptian (old egyptian, with symbols!) language, gaelian would also be nice and of course slang (german slang, australian slang, etc.)... And do not forget Esperanto !

 

More seriously, since we do have an editor for Laura, stop creating new levels for Robbo and Boulder Dash (sorry, trbb!) and create new levels for Laura instead !
