Star Evil and F-FF

[pubby]

Gonna post these a few days early in hopes that bugs will be caught before I submit them. I haven't tested them on real hardware. NTSC only.

Star Evil

A simple remake of the A52 game. I tried to make it faster paced and less glitchy, while still keeping some the original charm.

D-Pad: Move
A/B: Shoot
Start: Start Game


F-FF

A basic racing game. Hit select on the menu to get 2p split screen.

D-Pad: Steer
B: Accelerate
A: Boost
Start: Start Game
Select: Enable second player (on menu)

Star Evil is interesting. I wonder how many people will miss it.
Edit: Beat it.

[FrankenGraphics]

Star Evil looks promising. No bugs found at first glance.

I feel like I'm missing a lot of somethings. I can't evade or destroy the first blue square in Star Evil, and the game I get in F-FF is a lot more impressive than the preview image implies

[FrankenGraphics]

Hint: the game has only begun when you think it is ...[]

FFF - I like the scanline effects.
Star Evil - As buggy as the original.

Edit to remove discussion about the car's drag redution mechanism.

[lidnariq]

Star Evil feels a bit postmodern.

I did find a genuine crash in it, too, but I have no idea how to talk about that without spoilering things.

Yeah, my first thought was "how can you even tell if it's a bug?"

[Punch]

Is the cheeseburger screen the real ending?

Is the cheeseburger screen the real ending?

Yeah. I was running out of space so that's it.

I did manage to crash Star Evil. The program counter was around $4000.

Both games make me want to play them more. Good work.

[dougeff]

Jeez. Running either game in a debugger, with "break on bad opcode" is like looking into the abyss.

Setting a breakpoint on execution in $0000-$7FFF shows it jumping to PC=$2007 ??

FCEUX's execution logger shows this:

That's the level loading code. It's probably trying to load an invalid level pointer.

What screen were you guys on? (you can PM me)

[dougeff]

In this room, if you go through the right doors, and hug the lowest part if it (by pressing down + right as you go through) it will crash the game.
