Wickeycolumbus is working on a small game, which is currently named “Muncher”. You play as a yellow square and your goal is to “eat” the red squares while avoiding aliens.

Release notes:

Finally got around to doing an update. I think the speeds are a bit better now. Every few seconds you spend out of the red you get a 10 point deduction. I’ll probably decrease the amount of time for that to happen when you clear a board. I have a couple ideas for more modes too.

DS2x86 by Patrick Aalto is a PC emulator for Nintendo DS. It’s purpose is to allow you to run old DOS games on your Nintendo DS game console. DS2x86 is a port of DSx86 port using the SuperCard DSTwo’s MIPS processor, therefor it will just run with such a card.

Release notes:

This is mainly just a quick fix version, to fix some issues in the 0.20 version with a few more FPU opcodes implemented. The new FPU opcodes are fsincos, fptan, fprem, fyl2x, f2xm1 and fscale. The first three I have not tested properly yet, so those might have some bugs. The last three I have tested so they at least should work properly.

At least two new games seem to be runnable (or at least startable) in this version, Abuse and Comanche. Abuse needed just a few more FPU opcodes implemented to start running. Comanche however had some more problems.

Sven Vößing presents another “Retro Hunter” Video-Podcast. Unfortunately it’s in German language only. Usually of interest for every Retro-Fan!

Quote:

Ob es einen besonderen Grund hat, wissen wir auch nicht. Aber heute ist Sven Vößing alias Retro Hunter, so richtig in Kampflaune. Als erstes verheizt er Soldaten in Cannon Fodder um dann in der Vorstellung des Gamersglobal-Abo-Spiel den direkt Zweikampf in King of Fighters 96 anzutreten. Und auch in der Gurke geht es ordentlich rund, denn die Tochter des Präsident will in Crime Wave gerettet werden. Zum Abschluss verlangt das Fundstück auch noch einiges an Körpereinsatz.
