AcornGamez

I have added two new boards to the Acorn Gamez forum, Playstation! and SNES!.

Intel have announced a new addition to the xScale family, the dual-core 1.2Ghz.

This new processor, will open new doors for games on Iyonix machines and it might also mean that will be more games releases. (maybe even a long over-due release of F16 Fighting Falcon)

Only time will tell.

Martin Bazley has updated and improved his WAD for Doom, Sewer Control. This WAD is for Doom(+) and needs the official Doom WAD to play.

Don't own a copy of Doom?

You can play Doom with the Shareware WAD which is available from the Internet and can be played with the various RISC OS Doom ports out there. Probably the best free port out there is Jeff's Doom port which can be downloaded from here.

You can buy Doom+, Doom2 and thousands of WADS from R-Comp Interactive.

The Plot:

Taken from Chris Bazley's site "It seems a bunch of demons has invaded the sewer control system, and have plans to flood the city with raw sewage! After a bit of straw-drawing, you have been sent in to get rid of them. Unfortunately, they could only find a pistol to arm you with. You think it'll be easy. You wish."

You can download this marvellous WAD from here.

This morning, Wocki released a disc image of the game UMoria on his site for all to download from his site and has also added this game to his ArcGB project.

UMoria is a modified colour version of Moria.

Wocki has been very busy, he has now released a disc image of the game Alien Invasion on his site for all to download and has also added this game to his ArcGB project. You can download the game from here.

Alien Invasion is an ex-commercial space invaders game by Adrain S.W.Nelson.

Wocki has released an ADF disc image of the original Bug Hunter to his site and his ArcGB project. Wocki has also put the level codes for Bug Hunter 1 and 2 onto his ArcGB program. Wocki has also added a link between Bug Hunter and it's sequel so, you can switch between the two games.

According to Wocki, Bug Hunter will not work using Arculator but will run using RPCEmu from Tom Walker.

This new version of ArcGB and Bug Hunter has been added to Wocki's Acorn Emulation CD which is available from his online shop.

You can download ArcGB, Bug Hunter and buy his CD from his site.

Thanks to Holger Palmroth, the extracted version of Bug Hunter 1 can be downloaded from here for use on real RISC OS machines.

If you couldn't get enough of Bug Hunter in space then you'll be delighted to know that Ian Richardson has released the original Bug Hunter as a Disc Image for use on RISC OS emulators.

If you do not own a non-RISC OS machine or you can't be bothered to set up a emulator then you can extract the disc image with the various programs available from the Internet.

I am not sure about compatibility with modern 26 or 32-Bit machines but it won't do you any harm to try it out.

Bug Hunter in Space apparently does run on StrongARM and RISC OS 4 machines.

You can download it from here.

It's sequel, Bug Hunter in Space can be downloaded for free as disc images from here or here.

An extracted version of Bug Hunter in Space for real RISC OS machines can be downloaded from here.

A extracted version of Bug Hunter (thanks to Holger Palmroth) should be available soon.

Sorry about the lack of updates but there hasn't really been anything much happening in the way of RISC OS games.

Just in case you didn't know, the Wocki Acorn Emulation CD is updated every time there is a new download on his site.

Wocki has released a new version of ArcGB and and has added an extra directory called Extras which currently has cheat codes for Bambuzle and Hamsters.

Wocki has said that there will be more files in the Extras directory in the following months.

ArcGB can be downloaded from Wocki's site.
