Star Ark is a science fiction game being developed for the Sega Genesis. The game is set on an interstellar colony ship. The player is a member of the crew who must put down a mutiny and set the ship back on course. The 8 Bit Daddy Daughter Team recently posted an update.

Recently wiped out a lot of the old videos and images from Twitter. I think this one gives a nice idea of the overall feel of the physical game play environment. Still need to add NPCs and all sorts of other fun stuff.

Newo Escape by Owen got an update after almost four years: Your planet explodes and you are chased by a bounty hunter, try to escape without crashing you broken spaceship. Your spaceship has no breaks and no lazers. You gain points by flying close to objects without hitting them. Crash twice and it is game over. 10 levels to see how high you can rank on the online leaderboards.

The game moves forward automatically. All you have to do is avoid crashing into things on screen. If you crash 3 or more times then it is game over. Passing close to objects gives more points. Try to get as high a score as possible before the game ends. You can invert the up and down directions in the settings of the game.

Changes:

* minor update menu and leader board
* bug fix

Rick Dangerous hits the ColecoVision, but using the name Risky Rick, possibly due to copyright reasons. Nevertheless ArcadeVision presents a very solid game on a ColecoVision standard cartridge. The game is a result of years of passionate work from developer Easter Egg, bringing fun and never-seen-before gameplay on this device. To achieve this goal only Assembler code has been used, getting the most out of everything, never seen before.

Risky Rick mixes Rick Dangerous I as well as Rick Dangerous II into one game, with the usual difficult to play platform fun. The game comes in three editions: Standard Edition, Adventurer Brown and Adventurer Green. The game should work flawless on any standard 50/60Hz ColecoVision.

Juan Martinez released a 3D techdemo named 3D Voxel Space. Full C sourcecode for devkitARM & binary is available.

Thanks to Nintendomax for the hint!
