Fort Apocalypse has updated his “2 Player Adventure” game for Atari 2600.

Release notes:

Here it is! “Finished”. Am too low on space to fit baby dragons in at the moment, but if you can help me find space, I’ll add them in as well as ability to reset the game and a better win reward (currently you get death)

GoSub2 from atari2600land has been updated… Build 40 is out!

Changes:

While I was playing GoSub 2, I thought “Man, this is silent. I think I’ll add some music.” So I did. This version has the in-game music. Let me know what you think of it. I’m not exactly a composer by all means, but it’s something. This is the last update for the day.

Metalbrain has updated his Spectrum emulator for the GP2x.

Changes:

– Fixed a bug that prevented the Y button to be assigned to a key using the virtual keyboard
– The virtual keyboard won’t make all frames show when frameskip is 1 (it resulted in half speed)
– I was still applying contention emulation in a place where I shouldn’t when “no contention” was selected. Now the no contention mode will be less precise, but default speed has been reduced to 125/155MHz.
– Fixed a bug that made port contention not to be applied in most cases.
– Fixed a bug in HALT timing, it was taking 8 states instead of 4.
– Improved floating bus emulation, now passes floatspy test and other similar ones.
– Improved interrupts emulation including how EI affects them.
– Small optimizations.

Here comes a release from DC Evolution ( thanks to http://www.dcemu.co.uk for the news. )

This is an interactive E-Book for your Dreamcast (similar to our Christmas release), it contains 10 classic stories, 5 real-life stories, 5 eerie tales, and the entire ‘Legend of Sleepy Hollow’, all set to background art and an unsettling soundtrack. For extra novelty value we’ve thrown in a collection of jokes and recipes to try out, along with a Halloween Jukebox with loads of Halloween themed tunes.

As the PC extras, this time there’s over 200 Pumpkin carving templates on the CD for you to make a masterpiece on Halloween night, 131 Halloween/Horror themed Fonts, 23 Halloween/Horror Dingbat Fonts, and 16 sets of Halloween themed Desktop Icons. For the younger ones, there’s a collection of ‘print-and-play’ activity books (word searches, connect-the-dots, mazes etc.), print-color-cut Halloween masks, coloring books and posters. You could always just pop the CD into your PC CD/DVD drive and enjoy over 6 hours of Halloween music including a massive set of spooky SFX.

Have fun and Happy Halloween!.

Judas has updated his PSP puzzle game Pixelizer.

Release notes:

*UPDATE 10-18* I’ve updated the game to include one major feature. It now numbers the colors you input to make it easier to tell colors apart. It doesn’t look as sleek, but it’s more functional. Also fixed some bugs and cleaned up the code. So, in the attached archive, there is the updated game.lua, and 4 new puzzles.
