Larry the Lemon (Build 34) (A2600 Game)

Guide Larry the Lemon to collect gifts while being haunted by an enemy. Coded by atari2600land.

Release notes:

Thank you! Found a bug. If the bally<12 then the ball will bounce along the top wall and out of the screen. So I fixed that. Also, I put in the other title screen because I found a way to only have the PF0 be displayed during the game and not on the title screen.

Larry the Lemon (Build 33) (A2600 Game)

Guide Larry the Lemon to collect gifts while being haunted by an enemy. Coded by atari2600land.

Release notes:

Yet another new version. I noticed that the thing to get wasn’t going as far right as the maze, and a quick look through the code revealed why. But it wasn’t that quick to solve the problem. It took a few hours, but not only did I solve it, I was able to change the pfcolor in game. To do this, I had to change the pfcolor yellow tint a little. I’ve used lots of weird tricks to make this 2k, so this game presented itself a real challenge to do. Let me know if you see any bugs. I do know that if you touch the banana and go back to the starting place and the thing to get is there too, that the game will play the “I got the thing” note instead of the “I touched the enemy” note, but that shouldn’t happen very often. I also had to put PF0=$ff in the game to get it to work properly, so there are now borders to the left and right of the screen always.

Barbie Seahorse Adventures v1.1.5 (GCW Zero Game)

Barbie Seahorse Adventures is a fun little platformer made by The Olde Battleaxe for the PyWeek 4 contest. Rewritten for GCW Zero by Nebuleon.

20141225_barbie_seahorse_adventures_v1.1.5_(gcw_zero_game)

You’re a seahorse, and you have to go to the Moon! There are enemies in your way, which you must defeat, and landscapes that will end up confusing you…

You shoot bubbles from your… face… and those bubbles destroy enemies and turn them into bubbles, which you can ride to raise yourself to new heights. Three bubbles from your face are enough to defeat most enemies, or one if you have hair, but there is one thing that your bubbles cannot defeat alone…
