No known bugs now. Yay.
Game works fine in Gens and Fusion. If anyone cared to test this on real hardware, I'd be really thankful. If it wouldn't work, I may release the source code, even though it looks messy.
This demo is coded in C. I used Stef's Genesis MiniDevkit. Thanks to users of this forum too, I wouldn't be able to make this without your help. ;p Please report every bug you notice, I'll attempt to fix it.

Seems to work fine on real hardware, but the difficulty level is pretty high. I don't remember that many enemies coming so fast or aggressive in Qbert.

Thanks for your posts, I thought the game is still too easy, though.

I don't know if I should take this as a compliment or an insult. :P

This is what I found on my side.
EDIT: nevermind, one of the links there worked, and this file is now mirror of that :P

Eventually I'll have a place on my site for all the goodies found in my MD dev folder. There's quite many GBytes of stuff !
