Fruit’Y – Playing with edibles is heavily inspired by the Kaiko classic Gem’X, which has been seen on computers such as the Commodore Amiga 500, Commodore 64 and Atari ST. The game consists of two boards of fruits. The left field belongs to a cute tiger who needs to reproduce the right field 1:1 being able to proceed to the next level. Sounds easy?! Possibly it does, at least for the first few levels! Ported to Android by Lars Persson (Anotherguest).

Alite is a fan port of the classic Elite from the 80s by Philipp Bouillon. Specifically, Alite focuses on the Amiga version.

Command your Cobra space ship in a fantastic voyage of discovery, adventure, and trade, a supreme test of your combat, navigational and entrepreneurial skills. Trade between countless planets, using the proceeds to equip your ship with heat-seeking missiles, beam lasers and other weapons – corporate states can be approached with little risk, but unruly anarchies may be swarming with space pirates. There is a lot of bounty to be made for the daring pilot. Do you have it in you?

Learn how to fly your Cobra in a series of face-to-face lessons from renowned Commander Quelo and profit from his vast experience. Remember: Black market trading can be lucrative but could result in skirmishes with local police and a price on your head! However you make your money, by fair means or foul, you must blast onwards through space annihilating pirate ships and hostile aliens as you strive to earn your reputation as one of the Elite!

EEEE might be not a very creative game, but the game might be very entertaining for in between. Responsible for the code is Franz Lankes, who made a few GP32 games couple of years ago. Maybe you still remember games such as Arcano, Elena and Giro. Getting back to EEEE: The game is inspired by games like Breakout, Arkanoid, Brick Breaker, Bricks, Break Out, Blocks, etc… so you know what is waiting for you. What makes EEEE a bit outstanding are speech output and a few psychedelic background effects. Drei, Zwei, Eins… LOS!

Positively to mention: The game does not require any special permissions, which is pretty rare these days!

Waimanu: Scary Monsters Saga is a new Master System game released on 13th November 2015 by Disjointed Studio. Waimanu should be no stranger to you, as he is already featured in two games. On Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance with the title Grinding Blocks Adventure and on Nintendo’s DS with the title Daring Slides.

However: The gameplay of Scary Monsters Saga does not differ too much from the previous Waimanu games. Slide iceblocks to kill Weka’s, align three diamond blocks in a line to score extra points. There is a total of 32 levels so it should keep everyone busy for some time. Possibly not as long as another part appears, but Master System homebrew is pretty rare these days, so we all shall be happy what we get. It’s a free game, so feel free to donate or find another way to show your appreciation towards the team. Such great guys need to be motivated!

Considering we would have something like a homebrew of the month, this would be a very hot candidate! Thanks to Genecyst for the news via e-mail and sorry for the delay in spreading the word 🙂
