I was just looking at his page. Here are some of the games he has done in Java:

Pong
Breakout
BlisterBall
Tron
Jatris
Jamidar
Combat
Speck Invaders

I'm not sure what a lot of those are, but they sound pretty fun. I'm especially interested in seeing Tron, Speck Invaders, and a few others. It would be very cool if they all got DC ports.

Also, there are some neat little demos that might be cool to see on the DC (Fireworks, 3D Starfield, Ball Game, etc.)

Wow, that game was really cool. And come to think of it, this is the first homebrew clone of PacMan that's been released to the Dreamcast.

I hope to see some more ports from Brian also, along with a possible update on this. Maybe fix the controls a bit, then I think the game would be perfect.

Great game, Brian.

The game is really difficult, but it's a lot of fun, and it's very well done. The SBI works perfectly. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Hard as balls to play, though (tough to see the top of the screen).

You can use the "B, X, Y," buttons to change the camera angle.
That should make it easier for you.

Thanks - didn't realize that. I'm sure it probably said that in the readme somewhere (if there was a readme), but of course, I didn't read it.

LOL, actually, it says that on the Title Screen.

Damn - I wasn't paying a lick of attention, was I? That's what I get for rushing through that stuff. I really only played it for a second to make sure the SBI worked correctly.

I think I'll keep my mouth shut for a while. :-X

There's one on the local page. Doesn't change much from that, except the title is out of the way.
