Petals Around The Rose is a simple logic game; how many Petals are there around the Rose? Using nothing other than the dice shown, try to figure it out.It’s Mark’s first venture into Fenix, and has such as some bugs which he talks about in the readme. Still, pressing Start will bring up the correct answer for you to check with and all sources etc. are included.http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?act=ST&f=37&t=17591

Drakonite comes up with a new homebrewn for the Playstation 2.

The past few days I’ve been a bit addicted to Bastet, an ncurses based Tetris game with a twist…It’s a Bastard.We’ve all played a tetris game and at some point swore that instead of random pieces it was trying to give the worst piece possible, but we know it’s not true.. but with Bastet, it is. This is just a simple and fast port of Bastet to the PS2. The basic gameplay is intact, however extras such as the highscore list are currently removed and the game needs some polishing. Chances are that won’t change, as if I decide to do more work than what piece it took to port this I’ll probably start a new codebase and add a bit of flare. All that out of the way, it appears the planets are aligned, or at least it’s a full moon, as I now present you with the PS2 port of Bastet.
