After 2 months of silence the NESdev page has been updated with a few new things. Even a new NES game appeared called “Manhole”. (I was not able to get past the title screen, maybe it was an emulator problem)

Do you remember the old qBasic game “Gorillas”? Now Ben Stark did a remake for GBA, but read more…
Hello, my name is Ben Stark.This is my first video game written from the ground up for the GBA. It is also one of my few first programs written in C. My contact info is below if you have any ideas, suggestions, hate mail, or bugs.Gorillas Advanced puts two badly drawn Gorillas and a pixel sized banana against each other. On each side of the screen is a gorilla. Inbetween them are blue scyscrapers. You must enter the angle and velocity of the banana, while taking into consideration the wind factor, to hit the opposing gorilla.There is a single and two player option in this game, and the score is kept on wins. In the single player mode, you play against the CPU. In two player mode, you swap the GBA between two players.
