Homebrew Game & Watch Games Make Debut

Kojote writes "The latest PDRoms Coding Competition has just finished. The idea was to write a homebrew Game & Watch-style freeware game for handhelds or consoles, and there were a total of 24 freely downloadable submissions. In detail, there were 10 Game Boy Advance entries, 8 GP32 entries, 3 Gameboy Color entries, 1 Genesis/Megadrive entry and 1 Neo Geo Pocket Color entry. The winning entries were headed by Beer Belly Bill (GBA) by Metalvotze. If you don't have real hardware to test the entries, you can use emulators such as VisualBoy Advance (GBA/GBC) and GeePee32 (GP32). Have fun!"

    I know the above user I'm responding to is a troll, but I just think it proper to respond on derivitaves of the Authorized Version; King James (1611) Version, Holy Bible.

    To my current small amount of knowledge on this related subject; As background on the King of Britain, James; he was born offspring to Scottland's royal family and England's royal family. When he arose to be King, self-evidently combined England and Scottland crowns to what it is now known as Brittain.

    King James (1611) Version was decided and Authorized by King James to be public domain and owned by only the public (the flesh and blood people) and so technically nobody owns it and nobody is realistically allowed to claim it as theirs to regulate it.

    However, corporations today are taking the KJV AV's text, incorporating the modification (theft from the people), and modifying the text in such a way that will allow them to hold a Copyright on the corporation's modification.

    Many of their modifications are verry satanic. I suggest any tempting or penetant people to go visit http://www.jesus-is-lord.com and visit the "AntiChrist Slideshow" as well as visit many of the related works of the jesus-is-lord.com website that compare the satanic inspirations from the Zondervan corporation into its copyright New Internation Version.

    Speaking of the non-Authorize Version look-alike King James versions; they are not the same. New King James Version, 20th Century King James Version, and as well a many others that bear the words "King James" are arrogant theft and modifications that have no inspiration similarity discussed by the many scrolls that were used to convert to english and are intently against the "King James Version, Authorized Version" (1611) Holy Bible. Their modifications are self-evidently intent to help the reader understand the text easier that it not have duplicate message as the KJV AV and so-far have only split people into conflicting groups.

    The middle-english dialect and poetic touch in the King James Version Authorized Version Holy Bible is not difficult to comprehend to understand the laws and the historic documentation which its intention to transcribe. There have been some past articles on slashdot.org featuring old-english texts finally transcribed to digital formats that can be transferred electronically. One such articled was featured; titled "Treatise on the Astrolabe", and the article on Slashdot can be found here. Reading this "Treatise on the Astrolabe" will help anyone comprehend the fragrant customs of english-speaking people of years past. Try it out and it'll brighten your day, if any day exists where you are standing.

    KJV AV Galations 5:14;
    "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
