Virus Cleaner is a homebrew NES game by Roth. Goal is to sweep away Viri from the playing field, while it’s being protected by some sort of electric waves going around the screen.

To support the growing NES community, Roth released the source code of his game – although it seems not to be very well documented, it might be useful for others. In the case you are not a coder, you may still go to his page and grab the release for a few minutes of gaming fun.

Dan Lawton and Ken Beckett released the source code to Color Dreams‘ “Crystal Mines“. It was a former unlicensed commercial game for the Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom.

The game is NOT released to the Public Domain / Freeware pool yet and possibly will never be, but the source code is available for free but bound to “Ken’s License”. All other artwork related to the game is still under copyright, such as the graphics, levels, sounds and music.
