Evil Magician Returns (Build 9) (A2600 Game)

Evil Magician Returns by Byte Knight is an adventure style game for Atari 2600.

About:

This game is based on the Evil Magician mentioned in the Adventure manual. The premise is that his dragons are now dead, so he and his apprentice have returned and captured the golden chalice. The Evil Magician (red wizard) has the ability to shoot fireballs, his apprentice (white wizard) does not. You too have the ability to shoot fireballs after you’ve acquired the staff. The red wizard tends to guard certain items, while the white wizard avoids them. You’ve also brought a backpack with you this time so you can carry multiple items. Otherwise, it’s very similar to Adventure.

Release notes:

Here’s the latest version. I slowed down the “boss” in level 3 – he was kickin’ my ass too much. I also made his patrolling of the maze more random, as you could predict which direction he was going to come from. I also added a little logo to the title screen. This will probably be the final version of the game. The next step is putting it on a cartridge and trying it out on the real hardware – should be fun playing it with a joystick and not the keyboard!

Release notes from Waninkoko:

This application allows you to update the firmware of your console installed only the applications needed for this (IOS, System Menu, channels …).

As a result, certain characteristics can be maintained as the bug that affects the early versions of IOS stays intact.

Atoms v0.4 (NDS Game)

Each player takes it in turns to place an atom on the grid. Players can place additional atoms onto their own atoms.

If too many atoms are place on the same tile the atom goes critical and will explode and place additional atoms. When the atom goes critical it will send additional atoms horizontally and vertically away from it. If this atom lands on a square that has another atom on it, it will add to that atom. Also if the atom is another players it will be taken over by the atom that went critical.

Changes:

Music added, Created by Kikaimaster
Sound Effects added.
Credits page updated.
