Keen on a Rockford remake for GBA? Zapf Bandit coded one and you can download it from gbadev. Here is what the coder said:

Here is my first real GBA game. It is a very accurate recreation of one of my favorite every DOS games.It is not 100% complete but unfortunately I can’t make it to a few of the levels in the original so I’m not sure what some of the blocks are… If you are a rockford fan please let me know what they are when you get to them.

Donnie sent his”Rogue”conversation to the guys at GBAdev… here is what he said:

It’s a port of the first graphical adventure game, Rogue, designed by M. Toy and G. Wichman. Today it would be called an RPG, and was the origin of the term”Roguelike”. This is a complete port, not a demo. The screen text is very tiny, and the controls are a bit cumbersome, but after adjusting to these weaknesses, I think the gameplay is exactly like the original. I did take the liberty of adding a few sound effects.I would love to hear if this game has been successfully played on the actual hardware. I tested it only through emulation.

StarDust is a space shooter for GP32. Here is the description from the coder:

StarDust is a very ugly looking space shooter. It’s my very first attempt at coding something for the GP32. All you need to know about the game is in the user manual (which is included with the game). Enjoy!

Thomas Maniero updated his very very very old Bubble Bobble GBA clone. It’s worth checking it out…

Yesterday I played the official Bubble Bobble port for GBA and I saw that the developers have used a clever trick to fit the original sized levels (or just something very close to) on the little GBA screen. So after an hour I have reproduced the trick on my oooold Bubble Bobble demo.

His Stature can resemble: http://remon.btoy1.net/icons/bluc/linux-penguin.png.Of course style can be either FF3/6 style or a heavily shaded style. The splash screen can be anything your heart desires as longas it meets the requirements: must be 256 colors and at a resolution of 640×480 and has to look good :]. The wordingwill be: `MRP-MC`if any questions come up please pm in iRC (My nick is Piratero, in EFNET.) or contact me trough email.P.S. A graffiti style to the splash screen would be nice
