Reaxion (Final) (GBA Game)

Reaxion GBA does exactly what it says on the tin, it’s a conversion of the C64 game to the GBA. It’s a typical puzzler similar to “Lights Out” with 99 levels, design and graphics by T.M.R, music by Bexta and code by Widdy.

This is the very final version. It has very minor changes compared to the Buenzli 2007 partyversion, but final is final.

Thanks to Widdy himself for the file. I just had to bug him with a phonecall for this… ๐Ÿ˜‰ Widdy’s page is located at http://www.widdy.de and not updated by this moment.

A real cartridge version can be obtained for cheap 7 UK pounds (includes shopping within UK) via http://www.rgcd.co.uk/shop/

Scrabble Dictionary (NDS misc)

Release notes from binhh:

This is my first attempt at a DS application. I basically wanted a portable way to look up words that are challenged while I play Scrabble. I’m too cheap to buy a Scrabble dictionary and too lazy to walk to my computer. This uses the SOWPODS dictionary as the word list. Just use the onscreen keyboard to lookup a word and it will try to search for it as you type in or delete each letter. L/R buttons also work to scroll up and down (same for D-pad). Let me know if you have any questions or if you find any bugs. Thanks.

Reaxion GBA (Final) (GBA misc)

We’ve just recieved news from Heavy Stylus, who made another homebrew game ready for non profit and non commercial sale for GBA’s in REAL CARTRIDGE form. Read on more:

After initially reviewing the game back in RGCD#03 (where it scored a massive 90%) and selling a handful of cheeky pre-release promo carts at the Retro North event, WiDDY of Cosine Systems has finally wrapped up the Reaxion project with a few minor tweaks and I now hold in my palms the finished article – the Reaxion GBA cartridge is here at last!

For the budget price of 7.00 POUNDS (including UK postage) a limited edition cartridge version of Cosine’s most popular homebrew game can be yours, so head over to the RGCD shop now!

(Please note that I’m currently awaiting a new shipment of blank homebrew carts, but I welcome pre-orders and in the unlikely case of any foul-up I guarantee that all money paid will be refunded in full. Also, owners of the pre-release ‘party version’ of the game can send back their carts for a free upgrade – just drop me a message via the contact form).

The Bunzli 2007 Party-Version can be downloaded in the PDRoms-Archive.

ArchonDS v0.4 (NDS Game)

ArchonDS – A remake of the original game from 1983 (Atari ST) with new graphics. It is a strategy & action game, the battle light vs. dark!

Release notes:

In this first version only the AI of the battlemode is implemented. So you have to move the units on the chessboard manually, but when a battle starts, you will have a nice fight against your own DS ๐Ÿ˜‰
