GP32 Gets Homebrew Games Galore For Competition

Thanks to GP32News for its set of freely downloadable games from the ADIC2003 competition, a homebrew contest for the previously discussed GP32 handheld game console. Highlights include 'LOL Fighters', featuring a giant fighting cigarette, a classic 2D puzzler called 'Puzzle Mix', and the sideways scrolling shooter 'Magical Quest'. GP32News also has much supplementary information regarding other homebrew projects for this cult handheld.

"I must say that all of the games not mentioned in the article look mediocre to terrible."

I remember buying a Hewson game called '3d tanx' for the spectrum back in the day. 5.00 for the tape. It was bloody awful, but it was a commercial game. Back then your average software company was a couple of guys hacking (if you were lucky) assembly.

So personally I would be a little forgiving to the people that try to create for the GP32. I feel that the game you pointed out wasn't really much cop and I'd not put money on it to win, but I think it's heartening to see something of that sort happening.
