Double Action Blaster Guys (16-10-2013) (NES Game)

Double Action Blaster Guys by NovaSquirrel is a single player action game but also allows two simultaneous players. DABG for the Nintendo Entertainment System / Famicom is a sequel to “Forehead Block Guy“.

Since the first revision there’s been several bugfixes and changes:

  • “Extra stuff” menu on the title screen was removed and the level editor and credits were  just moved to the main menu instead
  • If the pre-level screen with the objective is skipped with Start, the game no longer starts the level with the game paused and will wait for you to let go of Start
  • Credits screen now has website URLs on it
  • All unofficial/illegal opcodes are replaced with official ones for better compatibility with emulators that don’t support them
  • Fixed a bug where testing a level in the level editor after beating the game would just bring you back to the title
  • Fixed a bug where enemies can’t climb over blocks from the right

Mouser 2 (17-10-2013) (NES Game)

Sometimes developers disappear, sometimes they re-appear. Happened with Tony Young who showed up on the NESdev.com web board during 17th October 2013 and released Mouser 2, a heavily reworked version of Mouser. It’s time to guide your mouse and catch some cheese! Right?

Angry at Faces (NES Game)

Donald has let us know via E-Mail that there is a NES homebrew game entered into the recent held Ludum Dare 27, while pointing at the Retro Game Network.

Angry at Faces is the latest NES game from Julius Riecke / Morphcat Games who already made himself a name with “Super Bat Puncher”. Back to the main deal: You are a rabbit and you have to collect carrots… sounds easy? Might be not! 🙂

Pixel Art Editor (16-07-2013) (NES Application)

Pixel Art Editor by Lionel B. is a very simple pixel art editor. It’s not really a serious program, just rather something to play around with.

Conways Life Simulator (27-07-2013) (NES misc)

Conway’s Life Simulator in a variant for the NES by NovaSquirrel. Source code is available!

Release notes:

Instead of trying to see how Video Life manages to be fast, I figured I would see how fast I could make a Life simulator by just using repetitive, fast code and using unofficial opcodes. It’s pretty bare-bones so far and all you can do is move a cursor around to toggle cells and start/stop simulation, but I’m hoping to add onto it and have an option for a bigger grid because 32×32 isn’t even big enough for the Gosper glider gun. SNES mouse support would also be cool, but I would require an emulator that both supports the mouse and doesn’t choke on unofficial opcodes first.

To be able to progress in your journey you’ll need some keys you will be able to use to open several doors to gain access to different sections. You can jump on the baddies to get rid of them, too.
