Added Miner Mole for SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive

Geri: "Miner Mole is the final result of my research project about homebrew development for an 80s console, the Sega Mega Drive.
I started this project as a fun way to learn how my newly discovered console that I found in my grandparent's house really worked. This seems pretty intimidating when you start, but as I progressed with my videogame, I learned a lot of things about programming, optimizing and the most important of all, the console itself.
The feeling of being able to compile my project and just a couple of minutes later be playing it with such an old console is like pure magic. I hope that all of you experience that magic, whether you are trying that on an original console or through an emulator."

Where the main character can land or move is confusing, but I guess it's understandable since it's done quick for Retro Jam.

HarleQuest! (SEGA Dreamcast) - October 2025 Update

ross.codes: "Unfortunately, shortly after the last update we hit a major issue trying to get discs manufactured for Chew Chew Mimic and Dream Disc '24, the two projects that were in the publishing pipeline that we wanted to get finished before shifting focus back to HarleQuest!
The short version is that the replication plant we had used for The Storied Sword suddenly decided to charge us a lot more for new orders including test discs, so we had to shop around for a new supplier. After our first attempt where we we paid for many discs that ended up totally defective (not due to any fault of ours), we ended up contacting 30 different replication companies to find the best balance of price, quality and customer service.
This back and forth took a very long time, and while I was ..."

Added Cowboy Shooter for SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive

abadede: "my first attempt on making a two player game for the sega mega drive/genesis. this game is simply a competitive fixed shooter, but the cowboys automatically move up and down back and forth. there are some types of obstacles, such as a cactus, a barrel, and a rock. each of them have their own effect when hit by a bullet.

controls (for both players):

A/B/C buttons to shoot a bullet (or change direction if the cooldown is active).

START to pause (or to play again after a game has ended)."
