At once you let Psytek prepare the rover and beam down onto the radioactive wasteland of Koronis. Too bad that the automatic defense system is still alive and active...

This was a small project designed to let me learn better game development using XNA, as well as trying to keep focused on a single project through to completion.

It was ported to the Sega Mega-CD (1994), Sega 32X (1995), the Atari Jaguar (1995), PC (1995), and the Game Boy Advance (2001), with the last one ported by Majesco. Pitfall: TMA was also the first commercial game released for Windows 95.

In this game, the player takes the role of Pitfall Harry Jr., son of the hero of the original game, who has to find his kidnapped father.

An extra feature in all versions is the ability to play the original Pitfall! (the Atari 2600 version) after finding a secret doorway. The doorway can be found by looking for something that seems out of place. The Mega-CD, 32X and Windows ports contained extra (and expanded) levels and other enhancements over the earlier versions.

]]> 02 Mar 2007 06:57:03 Natto-Cat is a unique, cute but violent Boulderdash style arcade game. You play as cyborg cat RB51, exploring underground caves and collecting cat snacks.

Dangers include falling dried plums and walking, exploding bowls of custard. Furthermore, some cat snacks have been force-fed to cave rabbits, who also explode! And keep an eye out for expanding green peas, which can quickly fill a cave or block the exit...

When enemies explode, blood (or custard) splatters on nearby objects... so the game is a bit violent.

A cave editor is also included so you can make your own caves.
