Fruit’Y v1.00 (DC, Wiz, PSP, GC, Wii, GCWZ Game)

Fruit’Y – Playing with edibles is heavily inspired by the Kaiko classic Gem’X, which has been seen on computers such as the Commodore Amiga 500, Commodore 64 and Atari ST. The game consists of two boards of fruits. The left field belongs to a cute tiger who needs to reproduce the right field 1:1 being able to proceed to the next level. Sounds easy?! Possibly it does, at least for the first few levels!

Fruit’Y v0.81 (Wiz Game)

Fruit’Y – Playing with edibles by Retroguru is heavily inspired by the Kaiko classic Gem’X, which has been seen on computers such as the Commodore Amiga 500, Commodore 64 and Atari ST.

Although tiger mum forbids little Sheran to play with edibles, there is simply no way to stop him from playing with fruits found inside the deep jungle. Being shiny, smelling wonderful and tasting even better Sheran can’t be kept away. So let’s do the best we could do: Support him!

The game consists of two boards of fruits. The left field belongs to Sheran who needs to reproduce the right field 1:1 being able to proceed to the next level. Sounds easy?!

PicoDrive v1.91 (Genesis emu for GP2x, Wiz and Caanoo)

PicoDrive is a Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD / 32X / SMS emulator.

20110402_picodrive

Release notes by notaz:

This should run on GP2X/Wiz/Caanoo, but I’ve only tested this on GP2X and Caanoo. The main change is that SegaCD compatibility issues should be resolved now. 32X compatibility has been improved too, but it’ll be too slow on GPH consoles. I don’t know if/when I can optimize 32X, although it should be possible to improve it still.

From what I see there is not much action on these boards any more, I guess everyone moved on to one of the gazillion Android devices that are available these days.. If anyone still uses this on their GPH consoles (especially on good old GP2X), it would be nice if you posted here so that I know if it’s worth building future PD releases for GPH consoles or not.

Combatz (Game)

Isidor makes X-Mas happen before X-Mas and gifts Wiz and Caanoo users with a game, based on the Atari 2600 classic Combat. Unfortunately there is little information about Combatz by the author himself, so you may try on your own if this is one or two player and if there are signs of AI at all.

Thanks to http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/63681-scene-for-christmas-combatz-caanoowiz/ for the news.
