Xenocider is a 3D arcade action game with retro-futuristic aesthetics, currently in development for the Dreamcast as the chosen main platform by Retro Sumus. The game tells the story of Xara, a cyborg from a remote planet turned into the ultimate weapon of mass destruction and ethnic cleansing thanks to her superhuman strength and speed and her combat skills in extreme environments.

Pedro76 and nivarel worked on Master of the Labyrinth for the Sega Master System. It’s an tiny RPG/adventure game reminding on Eye of the Beholder.

Twin Maze is yet another game by Haroldo Pinheiro, which is unfortunately not yet complete. It was intended to make it a simultaneous two player first person maze game, with competitive modes (deathmatch and race) and cooperative modes (vs monsters). Due to the authors time constraints, though, it is, for now, more of an unoptimized tech demo where two players can explore a maze simultaneously. There’s currently no other objectives other than that.

3D City is a simple “shoot ’em up” video game originally programmed by StevePro Studios in New Zealand, January 1988. The game was written using BASIC programming language built on the Sega SC-3000. Inspired from previous posts on Sega console programming and z88dk programming setup, 3D City was the impetus to build an 8-bit video game in C / Z80 assembler to target the Sega Master System.

After four years Haroldo Pinheiro decided to finish up his game Data Storm for the Sega Master System. The game itself is a clone of an Atari 2600 game named Turmoil.

The objective of the game is to zoom up and down the center alley and blast aliens as they streak by. Keep shooting and keep moving to avoid a deadly collision with a speeding alien spacecraft. Data Storm features a variety of speedy aliens which travel back and forth across the screen at their own unique paces. The faster they move, the more points they are worth. All aliens, except for the Prizes, must be shot while your ship is in the center alley.

Acid Reflux can be compared to the still famous endless runner games, but here we have got a “street” and a car. Responsible for this game are furrtek and robotwo. Interesting to mention: The game contains procedural music, varying from very annoying to surprisingly melodic.

Disjointed Studio is kickin’ and alive, presenting Weka Invaders for the Sega Master System. Everything you see is pretty much work in progress. Game mechanics is still incomplete, graphics only partially definitive, music almost completely missing. This is a beta with 8 levels.

In this new adventure, our hero Waimanu should shoot metal blocks and Wekas that might be hiding in them. Some blocks also can hide power-ups which can give Waimanu new features such as temporary multiple-fire or increased speed. Also he can shake the floor he’s on, making all the Weka on them fall under, if he’s got enough ‘shakes’ left (he can find more shakes hidden in blocks). Each and every Weka should be removed before the times runs out.

MARKanoIIId by sverx, Kagesan and Tomy is currently declared as interactive demo, as it’s not yet a full game, but there is hope it develops into a full nice game. If you are familiar with Breakout and Arkanoid, which most of us are, there is not really a lot to write here.
