 [ CPC ]  SEWER RAT RELEASED  by Jason (22 June 2008) 

Gordon the Sewer Rat has recently been made homeless, but he isn't doing too badly; there's a lovely stockpile of yummy cheese for him to eat, if only he can avoid the other creatures who are showing an interest... or the aliens whose homeworld has become devoid of life-giving Cheddar!

 [ MSX ]  MSXDEV '09 STARTED  by Jason (9 June 2008) 

Oops, i totally forgot to post about this; the MSXDev '09 has started and already has several in-development projects listed and even a completed game! For those unaware of this venerable competition, the MSXDev been running since 2003 (there is information about previous competitions on the current website) and each year has seen a varied selection of interesting games released, so it's well worth keeping an eye on their official website.

Robert Hurst has just released another VIC 20 game and after producing his own rendition of Pac-Man with the rather spiffy Quikman 2008, he's taken a gander at another classic from the early 1980's; Omega Fury is Robert's attempt at a sequel to Bally Midway's Omega Race in fact!

"I always set out to design a game within certain limits - usually my limits are these: what is the machine capable of, how much memory does it have, and what type of controller is to be used. Each one of those things is a constraint, or limit that I have to design within."
