GoSub (27-08-2009) (VB Game)

atari2600land has updated his maze/collecting item games GoSub, which has seen it’s initial release for Virtual Boy a while ago. Collect treasures with your underground boat in a maze!

There is also GoSub and GoSub 2 for the Atari 2600.

Release notes:

I have to change some levels because of the sub’s new size. I’ve done this up to level 9. I’ve added a level select screen. Press select at the title screen to get to it, and left and right to choose a level and start to start

DS OOP Layer (DSOL) v0.01 (NDS misc)

DS OOP Layer (DSOL for short) is a object orientated programming library for the Nintendo DS. It is written in c++ and is build directly onto libNDS. It’s main objective is to let people easily program for the DS in an object orientated way while still allowing people to take more controll if they need it. It also focuses on creating good and clean code and using good programming habits.

The library is fairly new, and therefore is still missing alot of stuff.

OpenGGS v0.100 (GP2x Game Port)

Pickle has ported Roman’s “Open Great Giana Sisters” game ( http://openggs.romanhoegg.ch/ ) to the GP2x!

This version adds a proper “C64 mode”, as the author Roman gained permission for the official C64 graphics. It’s a lot more authentic now!
