Well, right now it's way more than 50 what with all the homebrew efforts lately. I said I would reveal my next Odyssey² project on my fourth anniversary of joining videopac.nl forums. It just so happens that it's tomorrow. I'm glad it wasn't a couple days ago because I'd be SOL because the game hasn't been working like I've wanted it to be. But I think I've fixed everything that needed to be fixed and will post my latest creation over there at 12:01am my time - August 24. I think I've given away the title on this blog here before, but now comes the real test - to see if anyone actually LIKES the game I've been stressing out over programming lately. Ooh, I got so mad at the computer because it keeps on disobeying my commands I've put into it. For the longest time, I was wondering why it wasn't listening to a certain command. As it turns out (over a few days later of fiddling with the code), I needed to make a "movx" a "mov"! So frustrating! Also, I got three real awesome (and small!) Odyssey² game catalogs, hence the title of the blog entry, which is on the cover of one. I kinda feel sorry for Mr. Averett, who had to design pretty much each and every game in the early days of Odyssey². I'd wonder what he thinks of today's homebrew games, and the state of Odyssey² homebrewing today...
