I've posted a new demo Game Gear game by Martin Konrad in the "Sources" section. Currently, only the binary is available, but Martin promises to release the source in the future.

Pretty snazzy!
Funny the similarities between tetris and nibbles:

They're both games Chris is working on PC versions (is this a coincidence?)
They're both games with one moving shape at a time.
They both operate on tile grid increments (and probably don't use sprites. that is, i know mine doesn't).
No sound.
Black backgrounds.
Both authors are squeemish about releasing messy source code.

It's in my FTP and I posted a while ago but no feedback. I guess I gotta do an SMS version to get come cool points around here. Now Tetris, well, it's best we not talk about that.

Chris :o)

Complete? The version I played had a few bugs.
The only one I remember is that it doesn't handle windows redraw requests correctly: if you minimize it or drag another window in front of it, when it gets redisplayed the screen doesn't get redrawn, so only the parts that have been updated (that is, the player) are visible.

They are both responsible of wasting my time :)
I just finished the nibble, it is very good!
I'd like to thanks all of you participating to the forum and producing actual games and demos. Hopefully this will be the year of the SMS/GG and everyone will drop the Gameboy.. bwahaha :)
Well, thanks again!

I use sprites for displaying the score.

Yes, unfortunately. But if someone has a nice melody...
