Specus (19-05-2011) (NES Techdemo)

Specus is the working title of a “Zeldroidania” game (basically a mix of Zelda and Castlevania).

Quote:

Right now all it does is load a map and let you scroll around it. The scrolling engine breaks up the name table updates over four frames, and updates a 16-pixel wide area during that time. That means this engine cannot handle scrolling faster than 4 pixels per frame. The same code path is used for both horizontal and vertical maps. Branches are taken to handle the differences.

nes15 is an implementation of the classic Fifteen Puzzle for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This version is an NROM-128 (16kb PRG, 8kb CHR) and was tested on the real system with a PowerPak. It should also work with most emulators such as Nestopia and FCE Ultra.

Concentration Room

An accident at the biochemical lab has released a neurotoxin, and you’ve been quarantined after exposure. Maintain your sanity by playing a card-matching game. The table is littered with 10, 20, 36, 52, or 72 face-down cards. Flip two cards, and if they show the same emblem, you keep them. If they don’t, flip them back.
