  • PostBot homebrew retro-ga

    From bencollver@VERT/CASTLERO to All on Wed Sep 21 20:56:00 2022
    Today i discovered PostBot, a free, homebrew game for the GameBoy andãemulators. It made for a fun rainy-day activity. The premise of theãgame is that you are programming a robot to maneuver around obstaclesãand deliver mail to mailboxes. The game has eight levels, each levelãprogressively more difficult than the prior level. The robot has sixãoperations: turn left, turn right, move forward, deliver mail, do F1,ãand do F2. The main program has space for 10 operations. F2&F2 eachãhave space for 5 operations, and recursion is allowed. Clear a levelãby delivering mail to every mailbox on that level.ããThe game can be played in a browser-based GameBoy emulator, and thereãis also an option to download the ROM, which is roughly 64KB in size.ãI played it in the zboy emulator on FreeDOS. For download links, seeãbelow.ããhttps://github.com/MasterIV/PostBotããhttp://rojahn.org/games/postbot/PostBot.gbããhttp://zboy.sourceforge.net/ããHave fun!ã-Benãã...

    On the postbot page, the guy links to two places where you can play it in a web browser.. One of them has three other homebrew games.. I've been meaning to search for them to find roms of those as well.

    Excellent find.
