The NES gets really a lot of love recently. Project Blue is another awesome game, which should hit Kickstarter in a couple of days. Ellen Larsson got us some graphics to have a look at.

Bushido is a new fighting game by Captain Spazer for the Atari VCS. Please mind its a two player game only.

Hugues Johnson got in touch with us again to point at his final version of his Sega Genesis game Retail Clerk ’89.

Retail Clerk ’89 started as a personal exercise to learn Sega Genesis programming. It’s now a complete, albeit short, game demo. Although originally inspired by Phantasy Star II and III it morphed into more of an interactive fiction / casual adventure game.

Unless you find bugs and let Hugues know, this might be the final release.

Rollie is a brand new side-scrolling platformer NES game by Optovania and has 16 huge stages of gameplay. Power-ups and secrets can be found scattered throughout the levels and checkpoints exist along the way. Each stage ends in a boss battle.

Rollie and Lorrie are on a mission to save their forest, Paradise Gorge. Their goal is to defeat the brats and bullies who have seized power in the midst of an unstable ecosystem precipitated by a sudden overpopulation of snakes. They aim to lead as examples, to show how sharing and sacrifice are rewarding, and that rampant self-serving brutality perpetuates destruction.

Retroguru is about to release a new game for the Atari Lynx. Nutmeg is now an entry to the Atari Gamer Atari Lynx 30th Birthday coding competition. Downloads should be ready the next few days.

There are news on the Game Boy Advance homebrew scene, which should not stay unmentioned. JeffRuLz sent us an e-mail to let us know about Celeste Classic.

All of you interested to develop for the GBA, the source code is available for free as well.
