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!"

that's all we need are more rip-offs of those games, yeah this competition must be oozing creativity *cough* if people have to resort to cloning those games again

is this really the future of gaming ? have we run out of new gaming ideas already ? i guess the future is not going to be so bright after all

here's looking forward to the next 100 years of video games
