Sega is giving shmup fans one more reason to import a Japanese PlayStation 2 this fall with the release of the Sega Ages 2500: Fantasy Zone Complete Collection. Like the recently announced Thunderforce VI, classic side scrolling action will be hitting PS2's on the other side of the Pacific courtesy of Sega in September. Unlike Thunderforce, however, the Fantasy Zone Collection will be packed with primaries and pastels, as it's more cute 'em up than not.
Fantasy Zone (Arcade)
Fantasy Zone (SMS)
Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa (Arcade)
Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa (SMS)
Fantasy Zone Gear (Game Gear)
Super Fantasy Zone (Genesis)
Fantasy Zone: The Maze (SMS)
Galactic Protector (SMS)
That's (pretty much) complete, right there! For those remotely interested in revisiting the shooting adventures of Opa-Opa, keep in mind that these things tend to be English friendly, despite being region locked. (Don't hold your breath for a North American or European release!)

During its quarterly earnings conference call, EA announced that its first-person romp through the popular Command & Conquer universe would not be released until the company's fiscal year 2010. Converting that information into a format your calendar will better understand: Don't expect Tiberium to arrive before April 2009. We expect this delay from the game's previous Fall 2008 release date will better allow the designers to craft exciting weapons, insert formidable enemies and carefully remove any elements which could remind us of the last time someone tried to make a C&C FPS.

I made this some time ago and just gave it a little brush up today.
What is it?
Lua2C is a small C example for lua coders who are looking to move from lua to C but need a small sample to help them on there way.
What features does it have?
- Mp3 Loading & Playing Example.
- Wav Loading & Playing Example.
- Background Scrolling Example.
- FPS Counter Example.
- Basic Defines Example.
- Header Files Example.
- Function Example.
- Input Example.
- Runs On PSP Phat Or Slim.
It's all aimed at being simple to follow. The main point of this is to make the introduction to C a bit less daunting for lua coders.
Don't expect this to blow you away, I am sure it is of no interest to anyone bar lua coders.
What is included in the download?
1) A compiled eboot that shows the scrolling background, plays the mp3, shows the fps & plays the sound if you press X. Press Start to quit.
2) The full source code including makefile. The code is in C.
You may use any of this code free of credit.
I took a screen shot even though it was pretty pointless

The first quarter of Sony's new fiscal year (Apr-Jun 2008) has proved to be quite successful for the PlayStation brand. The gaming division posted a profit of $51 million, a stark change from PS3 loss-driven quarters in the past. PSP played a significant role in bringing PlayStation to profitability, with increasing hardware and software sales.
During this period, PSP sold 3.72 million units worldwide. This is an increase of 75% over Q1 2008. Software sales went up to 11.8 million units, an increase of 20%. While improving software sales is a good sign, this total still trails significant earnings from both the PS2 and PS3.
PSP has been meeting incredible success all over the world, especially in Japan. With sales the way they are now, there's little reason to believe the trend will change any time soon.

Following up on our screenshot update last week, we've got the latest details on Macross Ace Frontier, the new PSP title based off the classic Macross anime franchise.
Namco Bandai has confirmed the existence of a replay feature for the game. You can save full replays covering the start to end of your mission. The replays can later be replayed from your choice of camera angles and zoom levels. It's even possible to view the fight from the enemy's perspective. This replay feature is also compatible with the game's wireless ad-hoc wireless battle mode.
In addition to saving replays, the game also allows players to capture screenshots. These can be saved as wallpapers that are used in the game.
Namco Bandai has also disclosed a few new characters and mecha units. New characters include Vrlitwhai Kridanki (Macross), Guld Goa Bowman (Macross Plus), Mylene Flare Jenius (Macross 7), Gigile (Macross 7), and Luca Angelloni (Macross F). The total character count in the final build top 30. Joining the vehicle lineup, which will total over 40 in all, are Defender, Monster and Tomahawk.
Finally, a few additional details on the ad-hoc battle mode. The game lets you create an ID card consisting of your nickname, pilot status and level, mission completion percentage, item completion percentage, and play time. You can also decorate the card with your choice of icons and patches that you receive as you work through the game, and can add in a self introduction. This card is exchanged with other players when facing off in a wireless battle.
Macross Ace Frontier is now scheduled for a Japanese release on October 9. The title has yet to be announced for markets outside of Japan, so PSP owners should get set to go region free on this one.

Jeff has released a new version of his Rogue clone for the Nintendo DS/GBA and also the PSP, heres whats new:
Congratulations go to Ilyak who has successfully ported POWDER to Windows CE. His changes haven't been brought into the main baseline yet and require some munging of libSDL, but hopefully the baselines can be synchronized soon. The addition of this new port, whose SDK bested my last attempt to install, has led me to step back from my attempted policy of building every platform myself. The GP2X build I attempted never worked, and lacking the hardware, it is very time consuming to try and fingle it into working. Thus, both GP2X and WinCE will not be directly maintained by me. GP2X is already integrated in the source code so it is "relatively" straightforward to build, hopefully something similar can be done for WinCE. I'll try and point to the last-known-build of these versions, but as they'll be maintained by external volunteers, they can't stay in sync.
Adminstrivia out of the way, on to the goodies! Exciting new tools include the first large special weapon - the Earth Hammer. More zaniness has been added to the great tridude den in the sky. Sick and stoning characters will get some onscreen visualization of their plight, and users of stickyflame will enjoy a more accurate depiction of the suffering of their foes.
Leather helms will actually use the new leather helm icon. (Bunnyriffic)
Doors to special rooms will hopefully now be properly blocked so wandering monsters don't wander through them.
Secret doors should no longer be giveaways in dark rooms by being the only lit wall.
Special overlay tile when creatures are on fire.
New special weapon, the earth hammer. (Ibson the Grey)
Creatures may teleport you to escape rather than always themselves.
Creatures will use wands of sleep to escape. (Derek S. Ray)
Creatures that are tame to someone other than yourself are described as followers rather than tame. (Derek S. Ray)
Picked up items always go to the end of your inventory rather than filling holes, hopefully making it easier to find items you just picked up. (Malte Helmert)
H'ruth is no longer impressed by you being surrounded by sleeping or paralysed enemies. (Robert Hamaker)
The charging of lightning rapiers is now proportional to the damage that would be done.
Tlosh will grant exotic armour skill. (R. Dan Henry)
Necromancer and Barbarian dress codes (R. Dan Henry)
When polyed into a grid bug you can move diagonally with the stylus, mouse, or the new Move command. (Michal Bielinski)
Flamestrike's strength now is dependent on your favour with your current god. (Xaintrix)
Ghosts are no longer able to bypass the library's locks.
You can make secret doors and hidden traps. (CYBER Aeon)
You can smash viewports. (Brendan)
Name generator has a hotkey so keyboard purists can use it. (Brendan)
Forgetting things no longer leaves the menu on screen.
When turning to stone or poisoned your apperance changes.
The final damage from poison is now applied before the you are cured message, leading to a less confusing apparent order of events. (Andrew Poandl)
Ibson the Grey tileset white and red dragons fixed. (Vladimir Stalin)

Originally scheduled in 2000 as a DreamCast title, Thunder Force VI is a side scrolling shooter game in development for the PS2, directed by SEGA's Tetsu Okano, known for Segagaga, Astro Boy: Omega Factor and Gunstar Super Heroes.
Get the Thunder Force VI (PS2) Trailer off WP (12mb)
The setting of the Thunder Force games (excluding the fifth chapter) are centered around the war between inhabitants of the "Galaxy Federation" (protagonists), and the "ORN Empire" (antagonists). The games feature the "FIRE LEO" spacecraft and its iterations, developed by the Galaxy Federation under "Project Thunder Force" to be small, but maneuverable and powerful fighter craft. The Galaxy Federation feels that these ships have the best chance of defeating large forces such as the ORN empire's, as opposed to sending a host of larger ships. Thunder Force V details the discovery of Galaxy Federation technology by Earthlings and the conseqences this discovery causes.

Early games in the series had multi directional scrolling, overhead stages where the player would attack airborne and ground targets. These stages were later removed in favor of horizontally-scrolling stages that contained various gameplay elements derived from popular horizontal scrolling shooters Gradius and R-Type, such as an array of interchangeable and unique weapons, satellite turrets which provide the player additional firepower, and level design which encourages player memorization and skillful ship maneuvering/positioning in order to effectively pass.
Thunder Force VI is currently only scheduled for release in Japan, on October 30, 2008

The PlayStation 3 has sold twice as many units worldwide this summer than during the same period last year, producing smiles and maybe lunch parties with wine at Sony.
Between April and June 2008 shoppers snapped up 1.56 million PS3 consoles - over double the 700,000 figure from 2007.
PSP sales were also up, climbing from 2.13 million in 2007 to 3.72 million in 2008.
Software figures followed a similar trend. PS3 game sales surged upwards by 18.1 million units, more than quadrupling the 4.7 million figure for the period in 2007.
PSP game sales increased by 2 million, bringing the April to June total to 11.8 million.
Sony saw a slight slump in PS2 hardware and software numbers, although both figures are still more than respectable: 1.51 million consoles shifted and 19.3 million game sales.
Sony still expects to sell 10 millions PS3 consoles this financial year, which ends March 2009, as well as 15 million PSP handhelds.

Developer Hothead Games has dismissed suggestions it's favouring Xbox 360 and PC, following the recent and long-awaited confirmation of Penny Arcade Adventures for PS3.
"Everyone seemed to come up with their own rumours. They thought there was exclusivity or that Penny Arcade doesn't like the PlayStation 3 but that wasn't it at all," Vlad Ceraldi, Hothead boss, told Kotaku.
Top priority, explained Ceraldi, is getting the game finished as soon as possible - which is why he stuck with PC, Xbox 360 and Linux to begin with.
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is due out on PS3 this autumn, following a rather poor reception on PC and Xbox 360 in May.
There are four episodes planned for the deranged 1920s horror-cum-comic adventure, according to Ceraldi. And when those are finished, the Penny Arcade creators will explore other settings and storylines.
Incidentally, Hothead would love to bring the RPG adventure to Wii, only the game is too big for a console without a hard drive. Oops.
"It's purely an issue of size limit. Our game is just too big. If they increase that limit or add a hard drive, anything like that we would revisit [Wii Ware]," said Ceraldi.
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness costs 1600 Microsoft Points (GBP 13.60 / EUR 19.20) on Xbox Live Arcade.
