My name is Danny Bliss and I make retro video games. Also, I do things and know stuff.

@honeymoon250 All 20. Not difficult if born in the 70s.

Airwolf theme but it's chiptune on Game Boy/Color and the ship is blasting everything in sight! New Space Blast (Asteroids-like homebrew) gameplay just hit. Enemies? They hate me now. Tell me this doesn't rule on original hardware. https://t.co/5XidoDpusF #GameBoyHomebrew #Chiptune #Airwolf #Retro #Gameboy #Homebrew #IndieGame #RetroGaming #SaveMeCows #PixelArt #PhysicalGame #ModRetro #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame #Nintendo #gameboy #gameboycolor #PhysicalRelease #solodev #soloindiedev #AnaloguePocket #Chromatic

@LoveRetroBTW A Space Invaders arcade showed up at Bruno's Pizza Parlor around 1978-79. My brother and I spent a lot of quarters...

[Danny Bliss @p0rth05]

Just finished my FIRST build of a new Game Boy/Color homebrew: Space Blast! (Originally developed for the Palm Pilot.) A classic shmup built from scratch for the original brick. The gameplay video features my killer chiptune remix of "bad guy" (you know the one ) – tell me this doesn't slap on a GB!

@GrumpyPants2U @guideforman The movie and my post is specifically about the Nintendo Game Boy version of Tetris, the launch title, nothing else. And by the way I actually write Game Boy games. Also, I worked at Nintendo HQ in Redmond from 1991 to 1995. So please do your homework.

[Danny Bliss @p0rth05]

Nope. Tetris was hand coded assembly. It had to be to fit in the 32 kilobyte ROM cartridge that it shipped in (No mapper). If you watch the clip from that movie, he asks what the screen size it is (160x144) and asks if it's in C. Then puts a floppy disc in a computer, types in some stuff and gets the actual Game Boy version of Tetris that is playable on Game Boy hardware. It makes for a good story, but the writers clearly didn't do their research.

@slavikkshep No. Just referring to the current gaming trends. GB games don't have those issues.

[Danny Bliss @p0rth05]

@heliographe_ Sorry, that FAQ is worded badly. I'll look into changing it. I ship to several countries. There is a drop down list in the country input field on the checkout page.

[Danny Bliss @p0rth05]

@heliographe_ I ship to Japan. Go to the link on this post. I've shipped a handful to Japan already. Reach out if you have any issues.

[Danny Bliss @p0rth05]

@OatmealParty92 No shaders. It's coded in 100% z80gb assembly. The video is recorded directly from a ModRetro Chromatic (New FPGA gameboy hardware). Cartridge works on Game Boy/Game Boy Color compatible hardware.

[Danny Bliss @p0rth05]

@MBulteau Yes, includes box, manual, and stickers too.

There's some early game play footage at the end of the video. I made some progress on my Zelda like/rogue for the Gameboy Color in 100% assembly. Recorded directly from a Chromatic. Added some place holder audio. https://t.co/pEmVAwYzWY #modretro #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame #homebrew #Retro #Gaming #Nintendo #gameboy #gameboycolor #pixelart #games #PhysicalRelease #solodev #soloindiedev
