Yet another Matthew Bennion game is Mega Bargain Hunters. Loosely based on the UK Bargain Hunt game show, obviously removing any character references and anything associated with the show, etc. The general idea is you choose a expert who specializes in a specific field, you choose a flee market / place to buy bargains, your expert gives you a run down of the items you can choose from at the flee market, you haggle with the seller, purchase the item, once you have 3 items you select an auction house, sell items at auction house and try and make a profit.

Did you know Andy Grind is working really hard to bring Cave Story to the Sega Genesis? His version is a rewrite/port of the popular freeware game Cave Story for Sega MegaDrive/Genesis. The engine is built using SGDK, and written almost entirely in C.

Release notes:

There are a lot of crashing fixes after 0.2.1 so if that version crashes during a map transition try this. You SHOULD be able to reach the last bosses. All of which are messed up and buggy. Plantation is also messed up and buggy. I’ve gotten rather burnt out working on this and am gonna go play video games for a while.

Mega Q*bert by Jaklub is a fan adaptation of the popular arcade title for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. The title has 2 modes – Mega mode with 80 new different levels to beat and an Arcade mode, which is based on NES Q*bert (which in turn is based on the original game). Both modes allow simultaneous cooperative play.

Release notes:

Version 1.2 is up. Most important changes are a bunch of fixes related to reported noise issues (should be fine during the gameplay on real machines now) and increased difficulty of Arcade mode (was too easy to play infinitely even with the second loop).

Nendo‘s Ixion for the Sega Genesis invites you to dodge bullets. What looks like a good start is a not yet fully developed bullet hell shooter. Although it’s looking promising, we don’t know if this could turn into a full homebrew game.
