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:

I’ve updated the game.

To select a type for level 1, press the select switch until the option you want comes up. The following options are:

1 – screens in order (20 of them)
2 – screens in order (10 of them)
3 – screens random (20 of them)
4 – screens random (10 of them)

I need to work on some parts where the game sometimes gets above 262 scanlines.

purestrain released a demo version of his game Spacehulk2x. It’s based on “Space Hulk”, a board game by Games Workshop.

Quote:

i want to introduce you to a long term project. Its a realtime tactics game; unfortunately incomplete as time goes by and unforseen problems delay everything. Its not as complete as i always wanted the first public demo.

The game is compatible with f100 and f200 and will be available on wiz too.

Feel free to play and let me know if you liked it. If at least some people would like it to be finished; i will continue. Of course i could need some support… check lua scripts; graphic files and so on… if you feel able to contribute; i would be very happy.
