If you are into Sonic style games then na_th_an‘s latest NES homebrew project Espitene is clearly for you. The game has 12 regular stages and 6 boss stages. Collect emeralds and rings, avoid enemies and take care of the big bad ones.

Right now this game is in beta stage, so count with a few irregularities here and there but overall it’s a solid upcoming Mojon Twins production, created with their very own AGNES engine.

Peril v2018.11.03 (Atari 2600 Game)

vhzc currently works on his Atari 2600 / Atari VCS game Peril. Take over a helicopter and guide it intact to the next screen.

Release notes:

Now includes 17 screens and use the 2 playerscores minikernel instead the 6lives in order to show the lives AND the current level/screen. I have changed some sprites and the mechanics for some screens (bigger bullets, slower movement in the eye screen…). Still I have no harmony cart or similar, so I look for testers.
