There is a neat R-Type like shooter release called “B-Type”. Get it from gbadev.org

Adriano Baglio, the man behind ZoneGN, and creator of the past two “Uranus” shooters for the GBA did it again. Uranus Zero is the biggest homebrewn game I have seen yet, it’s still damn hard to play and probably one of the most impressive freeware games for our all beloved GBA.
Uranus Zero features:
– vertical shoot’em up
– Highscore Online Code
– 64 Mbits
– 8 Stages + boss!
– Boss Mode
– New Story Mode
– Challange Mode
– Fun Mode
– Continues
– 3 selectables characters + 1 hidden characters
– Special Attack & upgradable shoot
– 4 types of sub weapons
– 2 languages ( English & French )
– Hidden Bonus
– Hidden Cheat code
The file is avaliable at the ZoneGN homepage. I’ll add Uranus Zero in the next days.
Aaron Shadis send me an interesting Pacman game he created recently. You don’t have to eat your yellow pills, you’ve to shoot your usual enemies, the ghosts. It’s kinda funny but get’s really hard after a while.
Here a few lines from the readme:
This is my FIRST game on the GBA. The last game I wrote was on the Apple IIe in 1988. (I’ve been busy with other things for a while!) I really wanted to try writing games on the GBA, so I threw together the first things that came to my mind… Pac-Man & Space Invaders. The rest of the game grew from there.
Please reply to my email with any comments, criticisms, or praises about the game. I’d love to hear for you.I have only tested this game with Boycott Advance. If anyone plays it on an actual GBA, let me know how it goes.
Unfortunatly the original author does not have an own hompage, so you can get the file here from PDroms.

Stevola did another review for”Pocket Emulation”. This time he writes about “Elite”, ported by Quirky.
Antonio Molina from Spain e-mailed me about his latest game called “SP-Acoman”. It is a well done Pacman-Clone worth trying it. Don’t forget to send him feedback if you like his game. The e-mail adress can be obtained from the readme’s (english and spanish language) enclosed with the .zip file.
Antonio does not have an own hompage, you can get the game in the archive.
