Hi-Res MD Animation Demo (09-12-2009) (Genesis Techdemo)

“Hi-Res MD Animation Demo” is exactly what it says.

Further notes:

Run without filters and above 320×240 window to see the higher res. Meant for 50Hz, as you won’t get 320×480 in 60Hz.

Megafuck (Genesis misc)

Megafuck is an implementation of Brainfuck.

The Brainfuck programming language is an esoteric programming language noted for its extreme minimalism. It is a Turing tarpit, designed to challenge and amuse programmers, and is not suitable for practical use (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck ).

260b Snake (Genesis Game)

The game pretty much plays like a basic Snake clone (collect food to grow bigger, if you hit yourself or the edges of the stage you die).

The game is only 260bytes big.

Simple demo/technical demo, doesn’t seem to work on most major emulators nor on real hardware.
