A Christmas-Themed SHMUP for the Sega Master System; made for the "Jame Gam Christmas Edition".

This is distributed in two ways:

  • As a 32KB Sega Master System ROM; you will need an emulator to run this one. The ROM should probably be able to run on real hardware, but hasn't been tested;
  • As an embedded emulator with the ROM file included; this option might run slow on your computer, so it may be interesting to test the ROM on a better emulator.

Nice W.I.P Harold ! When do you finish it ?

Not sure... I made this one for a game jam. I guess Dragon Blaster has a greater chance of being completed. The assets may or may not be reused on that game...

Hello; I used:

  • SDCC: a C compiler for old 8-bit CPUs;
  • devkitSMS: a SDCC-compatible library for making games for the Sega Master System;
  • PSGLib: a SDCC-compatible library for playing music and sound effects on the Sega Master System;
  • BMP2Tile: a tool to convert images to formats compatible with the Sega Master System;
  • RgbQuant-SMS: to optimize images to reduce tile count;
  • Gimp: for editing the images;
  • Tiled: for editing the maps.

This is so cool!!! Tested it out with an emulator and it works really well, it does have a bit of chugging at times but I might be able to adjust the settings. Super impressive you were able to make this though! 🎄
