More of a tribute than a clone. Instructions: kill the aliens, save the planet etc. Read the readme.html file for details. (Please note this was briefly uploaded without the graphics and sound files – sorry about that!)

Drakonite has updated his Duckhunt game! Here are the release notes:
Thursday, 22 December 2005With 130 downloads in about 2 and a half days, I suppose there are at least a couple people out there that want to play duckhunt, though I haven’t heard many comments back from people who have tried it. I’ve just uploaded an update to duckhunt. I didn’t work on it as much as I was planning to this week, however since the christmas season is upon us and I doubt I”ll have time to get any noticable changes done over the weekend I decided to go ahead and post the few changes that have been made. One of the major changes is in the ducks’ behavior. Instead of the set path I had hacked together to get the first preview release done, they are now flying eradically around the screen and are much harder to hit! I was well aware that it was rather strict on how close you had to be to score a hit. I’ve loosed up the strictness a little bit so it’s now about the same as the original duckhunt. Another noticable change is the inclusion of a shot indicator — when you fire and miss there is a small animation showing where you had shot at. I had a couple requests for this and I was wondering it myself, but the original didn’t have it and I’m not sure if I like it… so I’d like to hear feedback. Plenty of other changes though I doubt any of them will be noticable. Enjoy

Release notes:
This is a little program that I originally wrote to test out some of the SDL functions and extra Libraries such as SDL_TTF, SDL_Image, SDL_Mixer to see if they are working correctly with my dev setup.No idea if it will be of any use to people but it makes a nice little first program to compile and test your dev setup and also to maybe learn how to setup a program to run on the GP2X and PC. I will add this to my GP2X User Guide on the next update.

calimero06 is working on a classic 2D side shooter in the style of R-Type. At the moment there are 2 different enemies, an endless level and two different weapons (B button to swap) with 6 levels of powerups. Don’t expect a great playability yet. The ingame music and sound were taken from various sources. This game has NOT been tested on real hardware yet.http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=7845
