atari2600land has posted an update of his Atari 2600 homebrew game “Jack and the Beanstalk” which is based upon a fairy tale with the same name.

Release notes:

These have been (hopefully) corrected. I don’t know why #1 keeps being inconsistent with these mistakes, but #2 has definitely been fixed, I know that for sure. Keep me posted on problems with the cutscene between levels 1 and 2.

Hyper World is a spanish RPG game currently beeing coded by Davpk. It’s using the Nitro 3D engine.

Overall the game can’t be called game yet, as it’s in too early stages. The coder is also looking for 3D and 2D graphic artists, if you think you can help out, you might give him a helping hand (or two).
