Planet de Pon

Introduction

This page is about "Planet de Pon", an homebrew game for the Sega Saturn.

At first, this is an "action puzzle game" for the Super Famicom, which is more know in Europ as Tetris Attack. As this game is one of my favorites, I decided to adapt it for the Saturn in order to get started with Saturn programming ...

This game has been made with the help of SaturnOrbit and SaturnGameTutorial in quite a short time ! So it is the proof that programming on Saturn isn't so difficult ! Why not trying to make your own game on this wonderful console ? ;)
