Welcome to DaBooda Gaming
This site is dedicated to keeping that old school retro 2D gaming feeling alive. Within these pages you will find nothing but 2D games. There might be some 3D here but it will be in that old school style (i.e. raycasting or colored polygon).
Again you will not find anything modern here. If that is what you are looking for we apologize in advance. But if you grew up playing nintendo, the 8-Bit system, then remain and enjoy!
DBOS
DBOS stands for DaBooda OldSchool. This is a library I developed strictly for creating retro 2D games. All the games you will find on this site where created using this library. At the moment I am choosing not to release the library, for I want to create a few games for it first.
FreeBasic
I have strictly dedicated myself to one language:
FreeBasic. This is perhaps the greatest language ever developed, especially for those old school Q-Basic fans. The DBOS libray and the Gemini Project both where created in this.
The Forum
The
forum is here for you. Mainly if you have a question about a game or you are a developer who has questions about one of our libraries, please join. We are pretty good about answering all questions, unless of course the question is insane.
Viewing This Page
This site is best viewed with a resolution of 1024x768. It uses javascript, so make sure you have that enabled or it will be a huge mess all over you screen. Also if you like this site and want the source, just
contact me and I will send it to you.
If you hover over something and it lights up, click it. I installed a system that will collapse windows. This keeps you from having to scroll through large amounts of information to get to something. Just know that it doesn't work in non-compliant browsers.
I tried my best to make this page completely viewable within Internet Explorer, but there are a few elements that simply won't work. If using a non-compliant browser do not by any means collapse the windows, the content will completely disappear. You can still navigate the site, it just won't look as good as it is supposed to. If you accidently collapse a window, simply refresh.
Developer
If you are a game developer looking for libraries to make that task easier, this is the section. DaBooda Turbo might be discontinued but I am still offering it as well as Crysstaafur is working on a freebasic port for it. When I do eventually release the DBOS library(again) it will be here.
