It is clear that the spiral of our consoles keeps turning, and here a piece of homebrew Dreamcastero story with a happy ending: We go back to 2003 when in full bloom Dreamcastera the scene, created a homebrew contest called "Dream On" (sharing the same name in honor of what would be the first magazine Dreamcastera of scene). Here's the link to the story. (http://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=40041) The award was interesting: $ 25 and a professional shot of the game. I will ring because those who won were Inhabitants (1st) and Maqiupai (2nd), games, edited by Goat Store. In the competition participated 5 games: the 2 above plus Boll (3rd), Whispered Secrets and Trampalien Gunmen DC. So far so normal and nice :) The news comes as the author of Boll has shown signs of life and has decided to publish his game and the 3D engine used with open source license ! (Yes folks, after 9 years!).

No doubt great news, thanks quarn ! Oh, I forgot: Boll is a 4 player game such as "run you scoundrel." It is made ​​entirely in 3D library KOS and libq3d. Controls: Analog: Move the ball D-pad: Controls the camera (angle and zoom) A: Jump X: Spin attact L / R: Panning Links and Downloads: Post in DCemu . co.uk (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/threads/3210-Dream-On-Winners?p=2148445852&viewfull=1#post2148445852)Q3D - quarns quick and dirty 3d-engine ;).
