Listing all Chip-8 games and more...

 Hi folks!

I've been listing all Chip-8 games for the past week and gotten a few headaches along the way (literally) as i've search like hell all the Chip-8 games already in a ROM format (c8, ch8, rom, bin, etc...) and all the games that's still needs to be "typed-in" from books, newsletters, magazines, etc.

So far, i have 402 entries...that's right...402 Chip-8 games listed but some may be copies as these are not typed-in yet to compare. Some few on the list are not available until the authors release them (i only have 7 listed so far), and the games available in a ROM-type format as today (August 30, 2020) are 168!

I have gone thru many RCA Cosmac books, all the newsletters (Viper, Questdata, Ipso Facto, Dreamer (all 19 issues), Cosmac Zelfbouw) and magazines like: ETI Australia, Byte, etc. and i'm still missing all the newsletters issues of 1800 User club (Finland) but this will be another story! ;)

Also, i have listed other Chip-8 releated programs (Chip-8 Demos/Progs), Chip-8X (and hybrids), Super Chip-8 games and Demos/Progs, XO-Chip Games and Demos/Sounds, Machine Language (ML) Games and Demos/Progs and various (Chip-8 Hires (64x64) and Mega Chip 8)(oh man...more headaches!).

The list isn't finished as it's still missing information but will be updated in the following days. If there is a faulty entry (title, year, etc) please let me know so i can make the correction(s). In the meantime, have a good reading! =)

To some who doesn't know what is the OctoJam, it's a contest which programmers submits their Chip-8, Super Chip-8 or XO-Chip games/demos/apps/etc. and will be judge with emulators and real hardware.

 Hope to see this year a LOT of Chip-8 games for the RCA Studio II multicart Chip-8 library ! =)

So if you know how to code in Chip-8, show your prowess by joining the Octojam 7!

New homebrew for the RCA Studio II

 

Hi folks!

There is a new homebrew game that was released 3 days ago by azya52 (the same author that did Microbird & Tetris for the Milton Bradley Microvision), the name of the game is "Race" (i know, not very original) but he did a HELL of a homebrew!! Check it out here on Youtube: 

 

 

I just have one word seeing this.... WOW!! The game is not finished yet but i have never dreamed to see a game like this for the RCA Studio II.

He uses a resolution of 64x128 (!!!) which we only see for Super Chip. What fascinates me is he writes that it can be played on a real Studio II !!!

Anyway, check out the video and read his description.

You can download a copy of the unfinished game here: https://github.com/azya52/rcastudioii

 Have fun (and start drooling....LOL!!!)
