Arcadia VI Unreleased NES Game.

Post by fumanchu »

released about a month ago by MrMark0673 is the unreleased game called Arcadia IV.The released rom contains 4 games called
* Tennis
* Xerxes
* Ghurka
* Twin Cam Turbo

here is some more info.
The first game is an interesting pseudo-clone of pong. It supports up to 2 players and the single player mode has 4 difficulty levels. The players compete in a pong like game, but are allowed to move in all directions as opposed to just up and down. There are 2 "Arcadia Men" located on the screen which make faces depending on how well a player is doing. The game is scored in the same way as Tennis, the first player to win the match is the victor.

The second game, Xerxes, is a vertical space shooter. This game is incomplete, but is playable in a demo form. There is no music (although there are sound effects), some enemies can be shot while others cannot, you can be damaged but not destroyed, there are a few power ups, and the only level is on a continuous loop.

The third game, Ghurka, is an unfinished Commando clone. Again, there is no music, but there are sound effects. You cannot be damaged by enemy fire, but you can destroy most of the bad guys. You have a limited number of bullets (the amount is unknown to the player) but an infinite number of grenades. The "game" ends when you reach an unpassable bridge.

The final game, Twin Cam Turbo, is a top down Spy Hunter like racer. There are various power ups and obstacles to avoid, but no enemies and the one and only playable level is on a very short loop. Of all the games available, this is the least complete.
as you can see there is some shmup goodness to be had from this release.

thanks to MrMark0673 for dumping his cart and releasing this.
