Dual Pac-Man Alpha
Two games of Pac-Man at once

Think normal Pac-Man is too easy? Try Sebskater29's creation which pits you in two seperate Pac-Man games at once, one in each screen. The d-pad controls the top Pac-Man, while the ABXY buttons control the bottom Pac-Man. Download below.

Gambia, The
friggin' hilarious idea, great use of the two screens!

But can you actually play the game? I mean, is it even possible for the human brain to process the parallel information from two games at the same time? It's not like I'm running a dual core brain.
Zaphod Beeblebrox would love it, though.

Well maybe rather than two pac-mans on the same maze it could be pretty much the same game with separate life and score and maybe even level for each player. Pac-man race.

When I saw this I was a bit frightened at first, that it would be what I have in mind for a quite new take on pacman, luckily it isn't

I once tried playing Flatout 2 on two laptops at the same time. I managed to race a bit with the same level on both but even so it was uber failure

Anyway what about the Masterer, playing 4 different games at once.

I dunno, I guess some people are just robots. Check out this dude play 2-player Ikaruga by himself using both sticks.

Yeah, this dude is freakin' amazing. I saw this a couple years ago when I first started playing Ikaruga, and I'm still nowhere near in this guys league. I have much respect for this him. Being able to blow through one of the hardest shmups ever made is not any easy thing to do(wish Treasure would have made a sequel).

But anyways, playing two pac-man games at once. What a great idea for a homebrew.

I recently played a few rounds of two-player Ouendan 2 on two DSes, playing one with each hand. It's not so hard to follow the actions on screen (because the patterns are the same for both players), but coordinating both styluses accurately enough is a challenge.

    It worked for me but it was a thick screw without nothing else covering the sides (except that transistor I accidentally broke off trying to remove the screw)
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, they slip
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Hm, it makes sense. Nothing else comes to my mind then :/ I guess you have to either make efforts finding the right screwdriver or just give up
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, I'd rather give up
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, I guess. No places that sell screwdrivers around?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, not that I remember
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Oof. Maybe supermarkets sell them?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, mmaybe
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They should be pretty common screwdrivers so there's a chance
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't know about the tri-wing screwdrivers though
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They're basically Nintendo exclusive from what I know so no chance you're gonna find them in random physical stores
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    The normal cross ones you could though so you can probably take out the back cover
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, they don't seem to be tri wing screws
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, You could have a chance to take out at least the back cover then

    Dunno about the insides though, never disassembled a 3ds
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Try checking out the iFixit guides

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Huh according to the iFixit guides it doesn't seem like you need tri wing screwdrivers to disassemble the insides
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    That's pretty good news

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Rest are standard Philips screwdrivers
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    And various spudgers but you could make-do with other stuff no problem
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    What's the issue again?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb gonna shower
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Okay see you

    @Xdqwerty, Dunno if you'll read this but I finished reading the story, I love the humor lol, and the idea of an incompetent hero with a smart kid is really particular, haven't seen it around much. Their dynamic kinda reminds me of Manzai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai) humor, pretty cool
