Juno First is intended to be an Atari 2600 port of the arcade game of the same name. Naturally the Atari 2600 version requires some significant simplifications, but the main elements are there. The visual style of the game is similar to Beamrider, but it plays quite differently.

The awesome sprite graphics were created by Nathan Strum, and the the excellent title music was created by Erik Ehrling (moderntimes99).

Release notes:

This release candidate should fix an elusive screen jumping issue. If no further bugs are found, then this version will be the final one. I will be grateful for any final testing of this game. To check for screen jumps in Stella, press the back-tick key ‘ and type breakif {_scan>#262} at the debugger prompt, followed by run. If the game returns to be debugger at any point then let me know.

Many thanks,
Chris

News from smkd:

My small thrust inspired game is mostly complete. Can’t think of anything major to add to it at the moment, except for the horrible lack of a title. Five levels with a mostly introductory first level and a few additional enemies. It’s not much on presentation or audio but I think it’s reasonably playable. What do you think?

There was a randomly occurring bug (good god I hate these) where it would glitch on loading a strip of graphics in the level, but I think I’ve patched that up.

Notes from Maximus32:

Looks cool doesn’t it? But since I can’t get this one to work on all supported consoles yet, I’m not going to release it.

Thanks to trilobit the Atari 2600 is richer of one more high quality demo. Amazing effects for a pretty limited hardware, a must see!

Jompe71 is currently working on a remake of the C64 version of Deflektor for Android.

As he does not own the real device yet, he is looking for beta testers with a G1 device. If you got time on your hands and if you own a G1, you know what to do now 🙂

WordMate is an universal dictionary application running on Google Android platform. The applicatoin itself doesn’t contain any data, instead you can download different databases on the Internet or even make your own dictionarywith the generator provided along with WordMate.

WordMate uses it’s own format (.dwm) as dictionary data file. Alternatively, it can read the Stardict format as well(decompresses into .dict, .idx and .ifo files).
