Thunder and Lightning v2015.12.29.01 (Pandora Game Port)

Thunder and Lightning is a futuristic action flight simulator and realtime strategy game that takes place in a large 3D environment. Jump into the pilot seat of your Lightning aircraft and fight against Thunder tanks in a fierce battle for control of the island! Apart from flight simulators, Thunder and Lightning takes inspiration from (but is not a clone or remake of) the 80’s classic Carrier Command. This means that you will find yourself in control of a futuristic carrier with aircraft and amphibious tanks at your disposal. In the long run, there will be multiple Islands to conquer, each with its own defense strategy. Although Thunder and Lightning already supports missions, it aims to be an open-ended game with a dynamically developing world with scripted events on some occasions. Ported to Pandora by ptitSeb.

The Gizzle Wap and the Great Blizzard (15-12-2016) (A2600 Game)

Mountain King updated his new WIP Atari VCS game The Gizzle Wap and the Great Blizzard.

It’s the holidays in Sundra. A great blizzard hit the land suddenly trapping anyone that was unfortunate enough to be caught outside. You play as the Gizzle Wap and the Moum Moum searching the land for survivors. Move the Gizzle Wap left and right and press up to jump. The Moum Moum will follow. Press the fire button to dig in the snow to search.

Listen closely to the Moum Moum. He has a better sense of where a creature might be buried. Dig where he sings. You may have to scan an area more than once to find something. He will not sing if he is standing on the Gizzle Wap or if he is too high in the sky.

Changes:

1. Implemented a damage routine (not fully refined yet). Bars will flash red if the Gizzle Wap takes damage and Yellow if the Moum Moum takes damage. Also you will hear them make a sound if they are hit.
2. The left health bar is the Moum Moum’s life the right health bar is the Gizzle Wap’s
3. The Gizzle Wap and the Moum Moum will take damage if hit by the Crab, Ghost and Cruncher.
4. Added a firn vortex that flies across the screen. Avoid it. It will hurt you.
5. Both the Gizzle Wap and Moum Moum will take damage over time from the cold.

Space Car ’78 (14-12-2016) (A2600 Game)

Wally’s Folly updated Space Car ’78. Make sure keeping your vehicle on the street while avoiding obstacles.

Release notes:

I had originally expected, even when thinking of targeting a dozen or more platforms, to create several Atari 2600 games before tiring of it … but I have been researching the Atari 8 bit recently and I am keen to get to this platform sooner rather than later… so this is the end of the Atari 2600 work for a while.
