atari2600land strikes again with Dr. Flin and His Pills. In this game, pills are coming from the right of the screen to the left. What you do is make sure the pill color matches the hole color it goes into. If not, or it touches the sides, the pill hole becomes smaller. There are four colors of pill: red, yellow, blue and green. The green pill should be destroyed by smashing it into the wall. If a green pill gets into any hole, all three holes will become smaller.

Release notes from atari2600land:

A little change. I made the pills’ speed increase at 25 points instead of 10. I also wrote a little text describing the game. I played a game to test it. I got 180 points.

Duke Nukem 3D, a personal computer classic title released in early 1996, featured pseudo 3D effects, a gritty foul mouth protagonist facing off against college humor styled enemies and levels. Tectoy released a Sega Mega Drive (Sega Genesis in North America) version of Duke Nukem 3D that was only available in Brazil in 1998. Nearly 20 years later, Piko Interactive has secured the rights to Duke Nukem 3D on the Sega Genesis for world wide release. Duke Nukem 3D will feature a proper box, cartridge and manual when it begins shipping.

Release notes from atari2600land:

* I made the game go a bit faster once you reach 10 points. I can change this to, well, anything below 256 points.
* Once a pill is in its correct slot and you press up or down, it does not penalize you for touching the sides. Instead, it bounces up and down until it gives you a point.

Gizzle Wap 2 is a new Atari VCS game currently in development by Mountain King. If you are into sailing and exploring islands arcade style, this game might be something for you. It’s in early stages but don’t forget to give the developer feedback. Feedback usually results in motivation and results into more updates and a better game.

Release notes:

1) The Floaty Fin sprite has been replaced by playfield graphics. He is more to scale to the size of the Gizzle Wap. If you move right off the Floaty Fin screen it will place you on the island or the middle of the ocean if there is no island. To return to the map view move to his tail on the right side of screen.
2) A Maum Maum, a small bird creature similar to a sandpiper will appear on the Floaty Fin if the toxic level of an island is to high to visit. You will not be able to leave the Floaty Fin if he appears. Generations of Maum Maum have kept watch over the Toxic Isles for centuries and know its secrets.
3) The Culex fly in a more random pattern and are more aggressive.
4) You now fall into the water on islands that have sink holes.
5) The beginnings of a cure routine have been implemented, but may not be evident in game play.
