I'm a Snowbro fan and am happy to see the guy somewhat active again, cranking out NES tunes one after another and this time it's a NES cover version of an old A-ha tune... go Norway! :-)

The Swing of Things NES rom is available here.

Snowbro of Neotoxin fame has been active again lately, thank god - the NES homebrew community really needs this guys amazing talent.

Well he has publishing a few demos such as a NES version of a Guns 'n Roses song and then this demo which I can't believe I've missed - it was published back on December 25th. The demo is a very cool Duck Tales demo with a great version of the moon tune from the NES game :-)

Oh yeah, you can of course also play this on your NES using a PowerPak as the NES binary is available here.

The RetrowareTV second season is now available on a 3-DVD set, containing episode 7 - 11, a lot of sold seperately episodes, a few webcam reviews, videogame knowledge episodes and some bonus stuff.

I'm a huge fan of Ito and John D's work and what better way to enjoy the great episodes than in high quality DVD format. The DVD set is $14.99 + shipping and it can be ordered here.

The NES WORLD Homebrew archive is now at 187 entries which is quite amazing and there's still lots of stuff to add - people sure have been busy over the years - thanks to all of you! :-)

For quite some time I've had a test list running at http://test.64scener.com/gameindex.php?id=gamelist&page=neslist but I think it's time to replace it with an upgraded version I've been working on the half year or so, yeah I am slow worker I guess.

Anyway feel free to give the new list a try, and I still have to work on the loading time, I know :-)

Click here to go to the improved list.

Yet another old section of the site returns almost a year late, but better late than never they say, right?

Well a section is back with scans of the packed in posters and phamplets found with some games. If you have a poster/phamplet not included in the list then feel free to scan and send it to me. All help is greatly appreciated :-)

Sometime last year NatioalGameDepot of... well NGD fame... managed to buy the remaining boxes of Color Dreams junk from the owner of Wisdom Tree.

While most prototypes already had been picked up years ealier, a box of EPROMs still remained and it was shipped to NGD in with the rest of the lot, such a dev and design documents.

Well it turns out that a real treasure was burried in the box of eproms as the game Happy Camper saw the light of day when the eproms were dumped. One can only wonder what else was in that box that we havn't heard of yet.

Anyway Happy Camper has often been discussed and while the binary definately existed, confirmed by the programmer of the game Jon Valesh, it unfortunately wasn't possible to aquire the binary from him.

The game was developed during the same period as Operation Secret Storm and was delayed because of this. To make the story short - when Jon was almost done coding Happy Camper, Color Dreams received the call to make Bible themed games and there was no need for Happy Camper - which was thought to be too hard to play by game testers anyway.

Well now you're able to check out the game by perordering one of 110 carts made in the first run, the maximum number of carts is said to be no more than 250.

The price incl. shipping is $55 for US customers, $57 for Canada and $62 for the rest of the world. While it may sound like a lot of money to some, keep in mind that it's not cheap to manufacture NES carts and this gem comes complete with box, manual and other goodies.

The preordering takes place at NintendoAge, so I suggest that you head on over and secure yourself a copy ASAP :-)

A Direct link can be found here. 

Oh and should you be interested in other Color Dreams games then I have a few on ebay right now, and they're factory sealed I might add.

Check out the auctions here.

The old FDS game list has been recovered from the ruins of the old website archive and has received a slight update. Sofar it's only the list itself that is online, but I aim to have a few subpages available soon so you can see how they're going to look.

The list can be viewed here.
