The Riot Tag-Team Coding Competition has start and might be of interest for you if you own a Caanoo, Wiz, Pandora and/or Dingoo running Dingux. There is no limit to genre, but it has to be a game, new and original, so no ports or emulators. You have to submit by the end of 25th June 2011. For more information, visit the official page.

The more emulators, the better. Especially if they are for systems such as the Dreamcast! Thanks to Chui, here comes a Genesis/Megadrive emulator and as you can see from it’s video, it works quite great!

Downfall was inspired by Spike Goes Down for Vectrex and Man Goes Down on VCS, both by Alex Herbert. It is not intended to be a port or recreation, just the teams imagining of a falling/gravity game idea.

The object of Downfall is to guide your character through a never-ending chasm on a series of platforms, carefully avoiding rising above or dropping below the viewable area of the screen. Reboot have released the game free for download in ROM, BJL, and CDI format. The source code to the game is also freely available to download from the Downfall website.

X-pired is an action-puzzle game written in C using SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image and SDL_gfx libraries distributed under the terms of GNU GPL. The goal of the game in each level is to reach the exit square, avoiding exploding barrels and other deadly stuff.
