Quick question ark - has a homebrew platformer been developed yet for Turbob?

Jungle Bros.

Well, if this one were done, that would technically be correct, but as it is still in development, the correct answer is "Not yet, but be patient."

If you're looking for a PCE hombrew release list you can find it here, along with titles still in development.

The previous Jungle Bros demo that has been shown on disc is as much a complete game as some other "released" hombrew PCE games.

I did use that posting you linked to, BT. And the article has been posted at RB. I'm taking some down time before I tackle a dedicated homebrew/hacks/mods/translations article.

I have FINALLY bought a copy of this. I haven't received any confirmation yet, though. Has my game been shipped, Arkhan?

Yeah I shipped it on Thursday or Friday.  It should be there soon.

Sorry about that.  I don't print the paypal clicky print label that probably sends you a confirmation email.

I go to the kiosk thing and pay/print there.   Those things dispense nice sticky labels.

I received my game today. I just finished playing for the evening, and I really enjoyed it.

While Insanity is definitely a port of Berzerk with few frills, Pyramid Plunder feels like it has a little more of its own identity separate from Pac-Man. The Egyptian theme is quite unique for this genre, and works quite well, and the power-ups that you can activate on command add a good layer of strategy that wasn't there before.

Very nice, Arkhan. I can't wait to try Atlantean.

[Arkhan]

Yeah.  We really learned enough from Insanity to go on and make a more complete game, instead of what amounts to a clone with different art.


It will be even more apparent with Atlantean.   

Glad you enjoyed the game.
