Author notes:

Just thought I’d drop by to let you know that I’ve designed a fresh new game for the Atari 2600, Solar Plexus. This exciting action title pits you againstan unstable miniature sun… your only hope for survival is to duck and weave its unrelenting attacks while collecting enough fuel to power your ship. The Solar Plexus will stop at nothing to destroy you, splitting apart and growing dangerously in size… can you last long enough to see its final mysterious form?Solar Plexus borrows concepts from the underappreciated 2600 classic Solar Fox, as well as the even more obscure Fairchild Channel F release Dodge It. The two titles combine to create a game that’s comfortably familiar, yet surprisingly fresh and original… this is definitely not just another Pac-Man or Space Invaders clone. You can download the game from the link supplied below. It works best with the emulator Z26… I’ve heard reports from others that the game crashes under Stella, although I’ve never personally been able to get it to hang while running it on that emulator. The game has not yet been tested on a real 2600, but if you’d like to try it on one, I’d appreciate it if you could report back on its stability.However you play it, let me know what you think of Solar Plexus! There’s no room for any more changes or additions to the game, but I would nevertheless like your thoughts on the game.JR

Christopher has released another improved version of PSP Chess. This time the changes are:

key changes: SQUARE+LTRIGGER: show the text from the imported pgn game / return to game from pgn text view

SQUARE+RTRIGGER: removed (was toggle pondering)

pgn import – parser is not extremely robust but should work in most cases

fixed compiler warnings

fixed small bug in random playback – if no file was found based on original g_background_music_file no random file would be selected.
