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
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?
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! 🙂
Lionel Barasc aka lbarasc currently works on his second NES homebrew game named Ball and Flag. You are a ball in a random labyrinth and you have to retrieve a flag before time expires.

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.
Double Action Blaster Guys is a two player only game for NES by NovaSquirrel. This game is a sequel to “Forehead Block Guy”. It’s completely rewritten and nowhere near as buggy as FHBG was.
Lucas “Dizzy9” Kur has finally released his NES game Inversion: When Darkness Cry. Your aim in the game is to collect all keys from each map to open doors leading to next level.
Control Sir Ababol across the Monegrian fields and gather 24 ababol flowers. 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. Be patient, think before you jump, and you’ll be successful!
Original game by The Mojon Twins, ported to NES by Shiru.
