ten pest. v2017.12.28 (GB Game)

Chris Read, aka atari2600land, works on a new Game Boy game called ten pest.. It’s a shooting game where you’re in space and shoot different UFOs coming at you. You’re on a fixed Y axis, but you can move around the X axis by pressing left or right. Pressing up and down changes the position the ship is facing. The aliens come from the bottom or top and move towards the center. The object is to not make them reach the center of the screen. Also, some UFOs shoot at you, so if you get hit by a laser, the game can end that way too.

Colossal Cave Adventure v1.0 (3DS Game)

Colossal Cave Adventure (also known as ADVENT, Colossal Cave, or Adventure) is a text adventure game, developed originally in 1976, by Will Crowther for the PDP-10 mainframe. The game was expanded upon in 1977, with help from Don Woods, and other programmers created variations on the game and ports to other systems in the following years. [Text from Wikipedia]

Notes for the 3DS release by nop90:

The 3DS console is too small for long text (like help page and credit page) I’ll try to implement some paging in a future release. Running the game on Citra, saving a game fails and exiting the program hangs Citra, but on a real 3DS everything works fine.

The game is released only in 3dsx format because there are some things to test (and probably fix) in the CIA. For the text input I used an old project of mine for a 3DS SW keyboard from 2014.

Happy exploring the cave!
