» 26th December, 2001 I've been away from the programming scene for a long time because I spent most time updating my new site. It's a portal on Nintendo consoles emulation, and it's called N!Zone. [update 2007: the website has gone offline permanently] I'll soon be back to programming, by the way. I'm planning to release the long awaited Donkey Kong (Coleco, tabletop) Simulator. I just got a working copy from a Canadian friend and I'm planning to simulate it shortly! And oh... happy new year! :-) » 22nd September, 2001 Minor bug-fix release today: - Egg (Nintendo, Game & Watch Wide Screen) S3/1.01 (Standard 3, minor bug-fix) It's available for download on the usual page. » 17th September, 2001 New game release. This time it's a simulator of the rarest G&W ever! - Egg (Nintendo, Game & Watch Wide Screen) S3/1.00 (Standard 3, final) The game plays the same as Mickey Mouse, even though the graphics are quite different. Get it from the downloads page. NOTE: this game lacks the instructions manual browser. If you own the original version in paper, please scan and send it to me! » 11th September, 2001 Whops! I've been warned of a bug in yesterday's release of Mickey Mouse. I just fixed it and it should work fine now. I'm releasing it: - Mickey Mouse (Nintendo, Game & Watch Wide Screen) S3/1.01 (Standard 3, minor bug-fix) Get the new version from the usual downloads page - my apologies for the inconvenience. » 10th September, 2001 New game released today: - Mickey Mouse (Nintendo, Game & Watch Wide Screen) S3/1.00 (Standard 3, final) Big thanks to Scott Jackman from USA for lending me his actual game! Also updated: - Explorers of Space (Elektronika) S3/1.01 (Standard 3, more accuracy)Get the new files from the downloads page. » 9th August, 2001 Updated games today: - Penguin Land (Bandai, LCD Double Play) S3/1.03 (Standard
3, manual added + fixes) Big thanks to Ridwan Hughes and Bas Utervijk for providing scans from the rare instructions manuals! I've been hunting those scans for well over one year! The games also feature a few bug-fixes and updates to simulation routines - such as hiscore saves and A.I. Get them from the popular downloads page. » 31st July, 2001 I'm releasing the simulator of a Russian Game & Watch clone today. The title is: - Explorers of Space (Elektronika) S3/1.00 (Standard 3, final) The game is a clone of the rare and famous Nintendo's Egg and Mickey Mouse though in different casing and with different graphics setting: space ships, energy shields and missiles were used in place of the wolf (or Mickey Mouse), eggs and chickens! This game has a very odd and cool feature, that's the Game A+B, that's the reverse of the standard gameplay of Games A and B: you operate the bullets in an attempt to destroy the starship. It's well worth a try! :-) Get it from the downloads page. I highly recommend to play this game! NOTE: Coming soon: Nintendo's Mickey Mouse and Egg. Stay tuned! » 13th June, 2001 Two brand new games released today: - Hippo Teeth (VTech, Tooth-Sporty Time & Fun) S3/1.00
(Standard 3, final) The games share the same CPU. Consequently, the gameplay and music are basically the same, just the graphics and casing are different. They are definitely both worth a try! :-) Get both games from the downloads page. » 8th June, 2001 I'm finally releasing the long awaited fixed versions of the following games: - Tron (Tomytronic) S3/1.01 (Standard 3, fix for
Win2000) Get them from the downloads page. » 2nd June, 2001 I've just been warned of a serious uncompatibility issue occurring in my most recent simulator, Tron, and the old Motor Cross. The games are not compatible with Windows 2000 due to an ASM routine I included, playing the cycle's engine noise through the PC speaker!Apparently, Windows 2000 doesn't allow sending data directly to external devices such as the PC speaker. :-( At present, you can play the games correctly in all operating systems except Windows 2000. I'll soon release new versions, specifically designed for Windows 2000 users. I apologise for the inconvenience. » 31st May, 2001 Here we go again with a new simulator - my 25th release: - Tron (Tomytronic) S3/1.00 (Standard 3, final) The game is extremely popular. It's a "tie-in" of the world famous movie
"Tron" produced by Walt Disney in 1981. The original tabletop game has a gorgeous design and the gameplay is very entertaining: it features three games in one, even giving you the opportunity to fight against an "intelligent" computer. The simulator also features nice Artificial Intelligence routines matching these of the original tabletop game! :-) Get it from the downloads page. I highly recommend to play this game! » 28th May, 2001 Damn - no time to rest! :-( A few players reported of a bug, occurring when playinh my most recent
simulators on their PCs having a Matrox G200 or a 3Dfx Voodoo3 video card.
Apparently, these video cards have issues rendering 1-bit transparent
bitmaps. - Donkey Kong Jr. (Nintendo, Game & Watch Panorama Screen)
S3/1.00a (Standard 3, graphics fix) Get the new files in case you are having the same problems with the previous versions.

They are: - Donkey Kong Jr. (Nintendo, Game & Watch Table Top)

Thanks to Rik Morgan for sending me scans. Get the files from the downloads page. NOTE: I'm currently coding the simulator for the gorgeous Tron (Tomytronic) tabletop - that's almost complete. I'm quite busy with my studies, so don't expect it soon. I'll keep you up to date by the way. Bye! » 3rd April, 2001 As announced, I'm releasing: - Donkey Kong Jr. (Nintendo, Game & Watch Panorama Screen) S3/1.00 (Standard 3, final) I'm also releasing the following updates to simulators - thanks to James Wang for warning me of a few tiny bugs: - Donkey Kong (Nintendo, Game & Watch Multi Screen)
