Thanks again, to all contributors, and all readers!
And we'd like to mention that Kevin Hanley (mewithoutyou52), who has spent over 3 long years with the ezine crew, is stepping down this month as our layout editor, artist and master ezine mechanic. Thank you, Kevin, for all the awesome work you've done over the years. It's going to be very tough to replace you!

Following
on from the Scavenger Hunt that was run earlier in the year, I had
developed a mini-game engine that ended up in the hands of just 1
gamer! Since I thought it would be great to get this out to more
people, we have rethemed the game for Halloween, and release it for
everyone to play! Have fun destroying all the evil beings and see how
high a score you can get!
At this stage this is just released as
a rom (download via link above), but if we get enough interest, we'll
look at getting it onto a cart too.
This wouldn't have been possible without the help of the following great guys:
Mr Gimmick for his continued great work with NES graphics. Check out his other work on Battle Kid, it's great!
Matt
Yanders (aka starwarsarcade, aka NES Dude) for some great sprites, this
was his first work on a NES game, and he did a great job!
Thomas Ragonnet (aka Zi) for his great music, great composition using the MCK software!
Also,
Al Bailey put a great deal of effort in over the last few days to add
zapper support to this game, unfortunately it wasn't to be, and we had
to release it without. Maybe a Christmas release?
And
finally, thanks to everyone who submitted some images and ideas for
this game. Unfortunately we couldn't include them all, but we
appreciate all the contributions.
Enjoy!
