Throughout the years there have been many Pac-Man games mentioned on Indie Retro News, from the Pac-Man Xtreme romhack, to Jr. Pac-Man on the Intellivision and even a Pac-Man game on the Pico-8, which all vary in style to the 1980's hit classic that can still be found today sitting as a port beside an Atari 2600 ( or if you're lucky an original Arcade machine ). Well ZX owners are about to get in on the Arcade fun as thanks to a heads up by our good friend Stuart Campbell, he has told us highrise has released a Pac Man hack for the ZX Spectrum called ' Pac-Hack '.

Denise v1.0.8 is released. Denise is a cycle accurate and platform independant c64 / amiga emulator.

Chess for the Atari 2600 is not exactly a “hot” category for independent homebrew developers. I am not sure why not though. The board game is a venerable classic. Computer Chess offers the ability to play the game when you don’t have a physical opponent available. Sure, we did see Video Chess release back in the late 70’s, but that was so long ago. A homebrew developer is taking it upon themselves to create a more modern version of Chess for the Atari 2600.

It is no secret that Coronavirus, aka Covid-19, is gripping the world right now. It sucks for everyone, especially those afflicted with it. A programmer has taken the Space Invaders game on Atari 2600 and remixed it. Covid-19 game is the result. What was once aliens is now the Coronavirus. The goal is the same – destroy it all before it reaches the bottom of the screen.

If you are not familiar with RetroMania Wrestling, then please allow us to introduce you. This is being billed as a sequel to an arcade game from the early 1990’s. The art style is decidedly “retro” but the content is modern. It seems like every week or so we are getting a new challenger announcement. The latest is a National Wrestling Alliance Hall of Famer.

Independent homebrew developers such as Matthew Kiehl continue to push classic hardware. Check out this Shadow of the Beast proof of concept he has created for the Intellivision console. Sure, it is not as graphically impressive as more powerful platforms, that is a given. What is awesome here though is just what he has gotten working so far. This is in IntyBasic too, not exactly getting close to the silicon here.

April is going all out with the great news, as if you think Fix It Felix Jr. for the C64 was a rather special announcement, then Raid Over Moscow on the Amiga will have your jaws hitting the floor. Yes indeed this amazing 8bit game of which we have announced as coming to the Amiga, has finally been released by Pixelglass Games; a great game that was originally released in the early 80's for the C64, Atari 8-bit, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, ZX Spectrum and Apple II.

Another heads up from Saberman and yet again an Amiga game, is the work in progress early build of 'Germz'; a new game which is a rather short, mostly multiplayer party game that was first released as a demo version at the RETRONIZACJA 3.9 party event. As noted by the description on the itch'io website : you take control of one of the four GermZ species, and the task is of total dominance by the eradiction of all the other GermZ in the level.

I'm sure many of you remember Space Invaders, a game that was first released way back in 1978 in the Arcades in Japan with a further release made available in the United States and a much later version in the 1980's on the Atari 2600. Well if you do remember it, or more especially its clones and inspired games, you'll be pleased to know Pink/Abyss has done a small clone on the Amiga called ' Tiny Invaders ', a game which is avalable to download on the Pouet website right now.

Love playing Adventure games? Check! Love those old Kings Quest or Space Quest style 80's graphics? Check! Then 'Space Quest A Son of Xenon ' developed by Boston McShew is just the game for you. According to the creator "A Son of Xenon" is a non-profit fan-made adventure game and Space Quest prequel, with the look of Space Quest III which means 320x200 EGA graphics, a lot of dithering effects, while also having icon controls and advanced music.

AppleWin v1.29.12.0 is released. AppleWin (also known as Apple //e Emulator for Windows) is an open source software emulator for running Apple II programs in Microsoft Windows. AppleWin has support for most programs that could run either on the Apple II+ or the Apple IIe. By default, AppleWin emulates the Extended Keyboard IIe (better known as the Platinum IIe) with built-in 80-column text support, 128 kilobytes of RAM, two 5.25-inch floppy disk drives, a joystick, a serial card and 65C02 CPU. AppleWin supports lo-res, hi-res, and double hi-res graphics modes and can emulate both color and monochrome Apple II monitors; later versions of AppleWin also can emulate a television set used as a monitor. Both 40-column and 80-column text is supported.
AppleWin can emulate the Apple II joystick (using the PC's default controller), paddle controllers (using the computer mouse), and can also emulate the Apple II joystick using the PC keyboard. AppleWin can also use the PC speaker to emulate the Apple II's sound if no sound card is available (does not work under NT-based Windows versions). Full screen mode is available through the use of DirectX. Features added to the latest versions of AppleWin include Ethernet support using Uthernet, Mockingboard and Phasor sound card support, SSI263 speech synthesis, hard drive disk images and save states.
AppleWin v1.29.12.0 Changelog:
[PR #757] Allow use of an INI-file for configuration instead of the Registry (fixes #709).
new command line switch: -conf
[Change #773] Added Apple II J-Plus support.
[Bug #778] Fixed for when Joystick(s) are disabled.
[Bug #777] Fixed Phasor speech (SSI263) to match Mockingboard (when in Mockingboard mode).
fixes: #698 (Rescue Raiders), #753 (Bejeweled).
also improvements to Phasor card's native Phasor mode.
[PR #775] Debugger: Fixed so that hitting "=" in the debugger sets PC to the current cursor address.
