Evil Magician Returns by Byte Knight is an adventure style game for Atari 2600.

About:

This game is based on the Evil Magician mentioned in the Adventure manual. The premise is that his dragons are now dead, so he and his apprentice have returned and captured the golden chalice. The Evil Magician (red wizard) has the ability to shoot fireballs, his apprentice (white wizard) does not. You too have the ability to shoot fireballs after you’ve acquired the staff. The red wizard tends to guard certain items, while the white wizard avoids them. You’ve also brought a backpack with you this time so you can carry multiple items. Otherwise, it’s very similar to Adventure.

From 1st April 2009 to 31st May 2009 PDRoms will be hosting another coding competition. This time we will only allow 8 BIT systems (as another sister site wants to go for newer mainstream systems and we don’t want to collide).

In particular the following systems are allowed (subject to change): Atari 2600, Coleco Vision, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Game Gear, IntelliVision, Master System, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Nintendo Entertainment System, Odyssey2.

The topic is decided, but you have to wait till 1st April 2009 for details.

Devin updated his Punch Out style Atari 2600 homebrew game K.O. Cruiser.

Release notes:

Here is the game with the difficulty feature added. In Difficulty B, you get one rematch per bout. In Difficulty A, only one rematch per game.

I also updated the rematch screen text and the name/year on the intro screen. Other than that, there are no changes of note. In the final version, I’ll remove the select boxer screen. At this point, I cannot imagine making any additional tweaks!

Dot is a collection of three games made by Seemo: Doris, Omicron and Tint.

Release notes:

this version removes the border from the title bitmap, and the year in the copyright bitmap, to make room for the one new feature: now you can fire diagonally in omicron.

To change the direction of fire, hold the fire button and move the joystick in the direction you want to fire. The ship will not move when the fire button is pressed.

This control scheme was suggested by Nukey Shay at the beginning of the omicron thread: thanks Nukey
