Alter Ego is a logic platformer by Shiru, Kulor and Denis Grachev. You have to switch between them the hero and his alter ego to clear levels. It is a bit similar to the game Binary Land.

This game is a remake of recent ZX Spectrum game of the same name. The original version created by Denis Grachev from RetroSouls, you can see video of it here and get it here. NES version got new graphics, original music by Kulor (composed for the game), and some other changes.

Interesting technical feature of this game is that it is written in C, with cc65 compiler. You can get source code here. More details about this and development process in general are available in notes.txt file provided with the game.

Cubicle Shooter v0.2 (Wii Game)

Cubicle Shooter is a first person shooter with a focus on highly destructible environments. It is very incomplete and is really just a tech demo right now.

Changes:

* You can now shoot and hurt the people. They get pushed back when shot.
* When the people get too close to you they push you and hurt you.
* Both you and the other people bleed when hurt and the blood paints the ground and walls.
* Your health regenerates (up to one hundred) but if it ever drops to zero then the game will reset.
* There is a scoring system which rewards you with 25 points every time you shoot one of the people and an additional 100 when you kill one of them (they die after four hits).
* You can now save the game and load a previously saved game. Saving and loading is extremely slow on Wii.
* You are taller now but can crouch back down. Just like in the PS3 version you will automatically crouch if you don’t have enough room to stand.
* There have been changes to the controls.
* There have been some bug fixes.

DS2x86 v0.20 (DOS emu for NDS)

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.

Changes:

– FPU support! Only in 32-bit protected mode, and not all opcodes are yet completely supported, though.
– Fixed an unaligned memory access crash in EMS function 0x57 (Aladdin)
– Built with SDK version 0.13, which hopefully helps with the audio problems in the previous version. I had not noticed I still used older SDK version.
– Compiled with flag -no-long-jumps, which makes the C code smaller & faster.
