atari2600land has updated his single and two player simultaneous play variant of a very well known Russian block game.

Release notes:

Hi all, apparently the score was all wacked out in two-player mode when player two got a line or more. I fixed that. Tell me if you run into any bugs in this version, especially the two player mode.

Epic Adventure by Byte Knight is an entirely new Adventure game built from the ground-up featuring 32 rooms / mazes with all-new items and enemies (see picture below). It’s kind of a mixture of Adventure and Lord of the Rings. The goal of the game is “the usual” – get the golden chalice back to your home castle. But first, you must kill the Dragon in order for the chalice to appear in one of three places – the Wizard’s Castle, the Dragon’s Castle, or the Troll’s Cave.

Release notes:

I finally got around to doing an AV mod to my 2600 Jr., and so I was able to test the game out on my Harmony cart. One thing that became evident on the Harmony cart and not in emulation was “screen shake” with object collisions. RevEng has helped minimize this. Here’s the latest release, and probably the last release before it goes to cart.

You pilot a Fighter Plane over a rainbow spectrum of enemy cities and blast them into smithereens. Your plane swoops lower and lower with each pass, kind of like space invaders only you are the invader. You can accelerate (turbo) which turns up the action, particularly when things get interesting as you progress through the spectrum and an Artillery ground unit starts defending the cities (again like space invaders in reverse). Watch your speed and timing, the ground unit will chase you and try to blast you down. It’s heavily armored but you can stun it for a brief respite if you hit it just right.

Make sure to grab the binary dated 7th September, as it fixes a flickering bug.

I found a way to make the game faster when the blocks are clearing. As usual, let me know if there’s any bugs, especially in the 2-player mode.

Changes:

* Added level III with randomized items.
* Level I is easier – two stabs to kill dragon, one to kill troll. No hawk or wizard (so my kids can beat the game!).
* Different title screen – I think the Evil Magician’s castle & gate looks cooler…
* Orc disappears after you kill the wizard, so you’re free to explore.
* Should work on Harmony cart now (untested).
