0.109u1 [Tomasz Slanina, Guru]


WIP:

- 0.132u5: Intel 8255A PPI (MESS Team): Added a new implementation of the I8255A device. Rewritten from scratch to properly support handshaking in modes 1 and 2. Refactored SG-1000a driver to use the new implementation.

- 0.132u1: Fabio Priuli fixed drivers using the TMS9928 (type of frameskip causes crash).

- 0.127u4: Curt Coder fixed refresh rate from 60 to 59.922747Hz and interrupts in SG-1000a driver, added 8255PPI and coin counter.

- 0.119u2: Sonikos cleaned up input ports in SG-1000 driver. Added dipswitch for the coins and service switch. Removed 2nd coin slot.

- 0.117: Zsolt Vasvari simplified code in TMS9928 video system.

- 0.116u2: Justin Kerk and Lord Nightmare updated Doki Doki Penguin Land to correctly use the SN76489 instead of the SN76496, which was a later design.

- 0.113u1: Speedfreak and Mike Ellery added 'Demo Sounds' dipswitch.

- 0.111u5: Aaron Giles removed gross TMS9928a configuration in place of more standard techniques. Updates the SG-1000A driver accordingly.

- 0.111u4: R. Belmont fixed TMS9928 so it recalculates the pattern mask when its dependancies change so we don't end up in weird half-modes.

- 0.109u1: Tomasz Slanina and Guru added 'Doki Doki Penguin Land' (Sega 1985).

- 25th September 2006: Tomasz Slanina - Added (recently dumped by Guru) Doki Doki Penguin Land to Sega sg1000a driver.

- 24th September 2006: Guru - Doki Doki Penguin Land arrived a few days ago from Japan with the latest PCB shipment. Thanks to Dyq and BNathan for the funds used to purchase most of the Mahjong games.

History


Arcade Video game published 34 years ago:

Doki Doki Penguin Land (c) 1985 Sega.

Doki Doki Penguin Land is a platform puzzle game in which the player controls a penguin called Adelie and must safely guide an egg - by digging downwards - from the roof at the top of each stage down to the penguin's living room and waiting wife.

The penguin can push the egg left or right and can jump on it to make sure it doesn't get stuck against a wall. Digging affects the tile one block away from the penguin's position, making it impossible to dig directly downwards. If the egg gets into a position where it cannot be moved left or right, jumping and landing on it will cause it to smash.

The game focuses on the egg rather than the main character and the screen only scrolls as far as the egg falls. Should the penguin get too far ahead, he reappears at the top of the screen. If the egg falls too far (indicated by a line three stories below it), it breaks.

Enemy polar bears patrol the stages with the aim of stopping Adelie and if the penguin leaves his egg too far behind, moles come digging out of the brickwork and try to snatch it. The moles will run away at the penguin's approach but the polar bears will attack and must be taken out by dropping rocks onto them or digging holes for them to fall into.

Each time an egg is broken, either by contact with an enemy or by falling too far, a player life is lost. The game ends once all lives have been lost.
