The Last Mission Remake v0.5 (Dingoo Game)

The Last Mission Remake is a side-view arcade game without scrolling (viewpoint moves from screen to screen) with map of big dimensions. The game takes its inspiration from games such as Underwurlde and Starquake.

You control a tank-like robot which can be divided in two: you rotate caterpillar and head-cannon, and the head part can fly off on its own. However, the head can only survive separately for a short amount of time, and your restart position is dictated by the location of the body, even if the head has moved forward through further screens. Therefore, the difficulty of the game was in making it possible to advance with the assembled robot’s two parts. The original game was published by Operasoft in 1987 and is an almost exact replica of the self-booter PC version. The 4-color CGA graphics is retained but the sound is changed to adlib to give the game more MSX1/2 feel.

Changes:

+ rewrite a bit keypress routines
+ any key to exit demo mode
+ make elevators part of the game process, not a cutscene – make final cleanup
+ pause mode
+ fullscreen toggle for sdl (win32 and *nix)
+ rotating “the last mission” logo
+ showing big title picture

Something v0.000003 (Wii misc)

Something by ThatOtherPerson is a 3D engine demo/test for Wii and Windows.

Release notes:

Here is yet another update to that still nameless thing I’ve been posting for roughly a week now. There are a lot of small changes. Blocks are solid now even when falling, the way legs rotate has improved, now you aim where the cursor is pointing instead of where the center of the screen is pointing, I removed the spheres that followed you, there are more things you can change by editing the settings file, etc. Mostly it’s just polish and optimization.

There is also a Wii version now.

I think I’ve figured out now what I’m actually going to make this game into.

Windows controls:
WASD = Move
Mouse = Aim
Space = Jump
Left mouse button = Action
Q and E = Change action
Right mouse button = Change view

Wii controls:
Analog stick = Move
IR pointer = Aim
C = Jump
B = Action
Left and Right = Change action
A = Change view
