atari2600land has kept on developing the second part of GoSub and released another early preview.

Release notes:

I added being able to shoot the enemies. But what I need help with now is the mini-game. I’m thinking Combat for this time, and I need your people’s opinion on one thing: When the sub hits the wall in the minigame, should it A.) keep ramming the wall; or B.) bounce off and go in the opposite direction? version 18b has the first option and version 18c has the second one. Many thanks to Mike Rideout for helping me with this part. To get to the mini-game, at the title screen, press the select switch until the first digit gets to 2, then press the reset switch.

RetroBowl is a football game that pays homage to the original Tecmo Bowl for NES. There are a variety of teams provided and you can add your own teams and players by editing/adding config files.

Each team has different strengths and weaknesses that parallel real-life teams from the late 80’s and early 90’s. For example, Miami has a strong passing game but an average running game and a weak defense.

Like in the original, each team has four offensive plays (plus punt and field goal). The defensive player tries to guess the offensive play. If the guess is correct, the offensive play will be stopped cold.

Both 1 and 2 player games are supported. Instructions are available from the main menu. You must use a gamepad.

This release is from March 2007.
