Pocket Commander v1.0.2 (GBA Game)

Pocket Commander was inspired by the groundbreaking game ‘Modem Wars’ by Dan Bunten (1988).

Your goal is to win. Knock out your opponent’s commander, which is the brains of the operation. No brains, no operation. A commander is knocked out when its energy level goes to zero as a result of enemy attack. You’ll use your robots and your commander’s weapons to accomplish this.

This GBA version has been coded by John Reder.

The Detective Game v1.0 (NDS Game)

London, 1974. You are a famous Scotland Yard Detective who must solve the murder of the rich aristocrat Angus McFungus, who’s body has been discovered at his home at 427 Park Lane. Arriving at the residence you soon discover that this will not be a simple ‘open and shut’ case, and will take all your finely honed detective skills to solve. Can you put your finger on the killer?

This is a remake of the 1986 C64 game by Sam Monthorpe for the Nintendo DS. Charcters were created by Paul Jay and the plot was cunningly devised by the Magnificent Seven.

Remote Touch DS v0.6 (NDS Application)

Remote Touch DS gives you the opportunity to remote-control your computers mouse, keyboard and other things from your Nintendo DS hand-held console. This solution is not like remote desktop, but more like an advanced remote control.

The solution is client-server based, obviously, and requires you to have a server running.

Release notes:

0.6 (major)
* Up on D-pad in “cursor”-mode for middle mouse click.
* Complete revamped server-backend rewritten in Java with full GUI (will work cross-platform; Windows and OS X/*unix etc.).
* Add support for custom key-mapping (gamepad-like feature) – configure this with the new server-backend GUI.
* Custom adjustment of mouse acceleration.
