- There is a new "featured game" box that pops up on the right now and then.

Bold: another great game released today!

June 9, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image After the release of Droid2 three days ago, another rare game has been published today. This time it was written by Laurent Kermel, who looked very productive back in the old days. Unfortunately his games weren't spread so far so they were unavalaible until today.
Bold requires 1MB to run and was coded in GFA Basic. It is a shoot'em up such as Side Arms or R-Type and it's very fun to play (you need to play with the mouse).
Looks like the author has other games in his basket, too! Can't wait to see them, they seem fun and beautiful.

Grab the full game here and visit the official website here in order to download the documentation.

Droid2 released

June 6, 2004 by Brume

News illustration image Back 10 years ago! A game made in 1994 is now available for download. Looks like Droid2 was never released until now. This is the sequel to Droid, a game written by M.P. Lord and drawn by his brother Paddy. The author has also released the map editor for Droid 1. Thanks to Sauron for the news.

Download directly the game here and visit the homepage of the author.

Random review

We see a road, we see traffic, yet Anarcho Ride IS NOT a racing game! Instead, the creator tried to build an insane arcade game, and implemented some kind of 'achievement' system (like we see in games of today), to make you come back for more. And he achieved this goal.

Did you know?

"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs, on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer
