Originally written by Richard Garriott in 1979 for the Apple ][ computer, Akalabeth is seen as the first game in the Ultima series. Re-live computer adventure gaming from over 40 years ago as you strive for knighthood by performing quests for Lord British. Travel the land, purchase supplies and battle monsters in the depths of dungeons as you work towards becoming a knight.

Battleship.bas allows for horizontal and vertical placement of five naval ships of length 2, 3, 3, 4, and 5. The grid size is 10x10 and one plays against the computer. The user can select between two versions. One version allows one guess per round. The other is the Salvo version where one receives one guess per round for each ship they have that has not yet been sunk. Control is via the keyboard. Battleship+.bas allows for diagonal, horizontal, and vertical placement of either 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 ships of lengths 2, 3, 3, 4, and 5. The user chooses the grid size which can be 10x10, 15x15, 20x20, or 25x25. One plays against the computer. Like Battleship.bas, the user can select between the regular version with one shot per round or the Salvo version.

This is an update for Chess. Increased resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768. Provided a different piece set. Improved redrawing of screen process. Also added three chess variants that are at least somewhat playable. Two involve play on a 12x8 board, while the other is played on a 16x8 board. Like before the player plays against the computer with the computer making random moves.

Find the best series of moves for White or for Black. One program features chess puzzles taken from various books. The other program features 320,000 puzzles in the small version and about 1.6 million puzzles in the full version. The puzzles in the second program are broken down into files by opening code. Press the space bar or enter key to see the solution and one of these keys again to select another puzzle.

There Can Only Be One! Finish each level by knocking all but one ball from the field. However, balls cannot be tossed directly off the edge and at least one empty spot is required in the direction of travel.
Written for the original Colour Maximite in 2013, I updated this in 2020 for the new Colour Maximite 2 to take advantage of the improved screen resolution. Choose a numbered ball and fling it in the desired direction.

This is the card game Concentration. There are two variations. One is played with one deck of cards matching Diamonds to Hearts for each rank and matching Clubs to Spades for each rank. The other variation is played with two decks of cards matching pairs of clones. Control is via the keyboard.

The computer displays 88 constellations and the user attempts to identify them.

Feeling pushy? Get to work and push crates away to position them correctly. Just watch out, because you cannot pull them back.
This program is a CMM2 version of the classic Sokoban. Use the arrow keys to move the player around the level. Advance to the next level by pushing each crate to a target square.
The program recognizes standard formatted level files so you can find thousands more levels on the internet from sites such as this.

Dragonfly is a text-based game engine, primarily designed to teach about game engine development. Mark Claypool wrote a free book that teaches how to program a game engine from scratch. For more info, see the Dragonfly website.
This is a CMM2 MMBasic port of the Dragonfly Game Engine. Dragonfly as documented on the website and book, is a C++ Object Oriented Design. The CMM2 version, although written in MMBasic, has retained most of the Object Oriented Design, with some compromises for the sake of performance.

The alien command pyramid is hovering just above the ground. Your job is to navigate the maze like pyramid and find and activate the self-destruct device. Others have tried before you but apparently without success. We hope someone has left a message for you. As far as we know, all levels except the smallest one near the top, where we can infiltrate you, have an item of interest. But beware! Some of those items are likely to be aliens, greenish blobs according to reports. Destroy the pyramid to save the green hills, and hopefully escape out of the lowest level to tell the tale.

Slide matching tiles together to make them vanish.
Decades ago, I wrote a logic puzzle game for my Apple //gs with a Second Sight VGA card. Falfus was based on the game Puzznic. The goal was to clear each level by sliding matching tiles together. Two or more of the same tile touching along any edge would fuse and vanish with a pop. The player can slide tiles sideways only, and tiles fall when unsupported. After some fun extracting files from my Apple //gs, here it is, ported to the Colour Maximite 2. Uses a Nunchuk if found or the keyboard.

This is a non-profit port of the arcade game Final Fight from CAPCOM, made 100% in MMBasic for the Colour Maximite 2. THIS GAME IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND ONLY THE FIRST STAGE WAS DEVELOPED FOR NOW. THE OTHERS ARE ON THE WAY...

In FloodIt, you are presented with a board filled by randomly-colored squares. Your job is to help a flood fill that starts at the top left corner square to flood the entire board with a single color. Naturally, you are allowed only a certain number of moves to accomplish this, depending on the board size and the number of colors, both of which you choose. The game can be played using only the keyboard or with a mouse.

This game was inspired by the old classic 'Fort Apocalypse' from the
C64 or Atari. It has been redeveloped from scratch including graphics,
sound effects and game mechanics.

The goal of the game is to enter the base of Dr.Evil with your helicopter
and destroy the base by blowing up the reactor which is deeply burried
in the mountain. While you fight against automatic defence robots,
lasers and try to manouver through the cave labyrinth, rescue the
workers who were held hostage to work for Dr. Evil.

This is a version of Gauntlet to Colour Maximite 2. I don't own any rights about Gauntlet trademark, this is only a homebrew project made by me in my free time, and for sure in the current state, it has lots of bugs. Keep in mind I'm only a Gauntlet fan with some basic developing skills and my target is only to challenge myself to port it to CMM2, it's not a project with profit intentions.

The spaceship is stranded with only enough fuel for one last short engine burn; help it get back to the space station by selecting the correct angle using the left & right cursor keys then pressing [Enter] to ignite the engine, using the gravity of the surrounding planets to get it home. Watch out for the black hole – it’s barely visible but has a very strong gravitational field!
There are 30 levels, and each level has only one solution. At the beginning of the game, you can skip to a later level by entering the appropriate 4-letter code – otherwise, just press [Enter] to start at level 1.

March, 2021 was the month of the (perhaps first) Maximite One Page Programming challenge. The essential rule was, create the most amazing program possible using just a single built-in editor page of source text. Loosely modeled after the long running BASIC 10-Liner Competition, a full editor page was chosen to enable the creation of really polished programs.
I quickly whipped up as close a clone as possible of the classic Space Invaders, which fit comfortably within the size limit of 48 lines of 100 characters in the CMM2 editor. For silliness, I chose the name In Defence of the Green Hills of Earth. I decided to keep going and created a Missile Command clone, titled In Renewed Defence of the Green Hills. But why stop there? For my pièce de résistance, I was able to compress an eight level 3-D maze program into a single page. Escape to the Green Hills was my actual contest entry and was worth third place! Awesome!

Hangman includes 15 DAT files ranging from 4,006 to 466,514 entries mostly based on dictionaries.

In February 2021 a giant tabular iceberg named A-48 calved from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf and started to drift to open waters. You are member of an expedition intended to sample the marine life at the A-48 cleavage line and therefore entered the the gap between the iceberg and the main shelf on an agile but fragile little speedboat. You are far too busy with your research to notice the motion of the iceberg changed with it now drifting back to the shelf, closing the gap at alarming speed. When you realize the danger, you propel your boats engines to highspeed, desperately trying to escape the fate of being crushed between gigatons of floating ice. How far can you get?

Ishido is a board game for the CMM2. It can be played either with the keyboard alone or with keyboard and mouse. Ishido, the so-called "Way of Stones", was originally released for the Mac sometime in the late 80's or early 90's. It is a fun and challenging game of placing 'stones' on the board so that their symbols and colors match in various ways.

This game for the Colour Maximite 2 is a community effort by a number of members from The Back Shed Microcontroller Forum. I quickly cobbled a version together in July, 2020. Others enjoyed it enough to add sound, improved graphics and an instrument panel. I added some more at the end, including an explosion with shrapnel for those lander pilots determined to leave a spectacular crater. Fun was had by all.

Mahjongg Solitaire for the CMM2. It requires a mouse.

Mancala game for CMM2. A mouse is NOT required. Mancala is the classic African game of stone moving and counting. There are only a few rules and the game seems easy to play, but there are devious subtleties and deep strategies to be discovered!

On the game begin computer randomly selects N colours from MAX count and store this as secret row. Task for player is to guess correct row with placing own choices in every round. On the round end, computer tells with GREENs points how many colors are on right places and with REDs how many are correct colour in wrong place. This should help the player in next row. You can adjust the game difficulty to match yours skill...

The NONchuk board provides a way to interface joysticks and other devices to the RetroMax. The intention is to use the I2C port on the NONchuk to connect to the Nunchuk interface on the RetroMax (or CMM2).


The NONchuk allows the Nunchuk port of the RetroMax to connect to joysticks and several other devices. Since there are a variety of different devices that can be connected, the NONchuk uses a MicroMite chip (the '170 with MMBasic installed) to run code for the task.


The NONchuck has a console port that can be used as the serial interface for programming the MMBasic code specific to how the NONchuk will be used.


The NONchuk features:
• Based on MMBasic '170 so it can be user re/programmed
• Support Atari (digital/switch) joystick
• Support PC (analog/potentiometer) joystick
• Operate as I2C slave interface
• Operate as serial interface
• Support 16 key keypad
• Support rotary module
• Support analog joystick module


The NONchuck board could also be used as a stand-alone MicroMite ('170 chip) board. For example it could be used with a joystick and various pins from the microcontroller could control relays, LEDs, etc.

Here's an Othello / Reversi program for the CMM2 and also for MMBasic for Windows. It plays at a good level, has support for Nunchuck on the CMM2 and support for the mouse in Windows. Five levels of play, computer vs computer or two players against each other. Press F1 for detailed help and description.

Duplicate entry, sorry. Download link is the same.

A puzzle where you try to pack the 12 unique pentominoes into a rectangle that is 6x10, 5x12, 4x15, or 3x20 squares in side. It is hard! The program includes sample solutions for each rectangle, but there are thousands more to discover.

Version 1.1.0 features puzzle save (F1) and puzzle restore (F2) commands so that you can save your work at any stage and restore it later to continue work or show a completed puzzle. The other new feature is a 5th puzzle layout that has an 8x8 grid with a 2x2 hole in the middle.

Four programs are included. Two programs are controlled via the keyboard and the other two use the Wii Controller. Two programs display 256 1024x768 puzzles while the other two display 86 768x768 puzzles. There are five sizes of puzzle pieces ranging from 12 pieces to thousands of pieces. One selects which puzzle to load or select a random puzzle. The pieces always have a square shape. Pieces can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise or 180 degrees. Two pieces can be swapped. One can view the completed puzzle and then go back to the work in progress puzzle. There is an option to hide/view the cursor. The program is split into three parts on github. Use 7-Zip Extract Here on the first of the three parts.

Use the keyboard (A, Z, <, > and Space) to navigate the snake to eat the apples without hitting the perimeter or biting its own tail. Every time you eat an apple the snake gets longer. Unlike standard "Snake" the game is played in a circular rather than rectangular playing field and instead of moving the snake north, south east and west the player moves it outwards, inwards, clockwise and anti-clockwise.

Reversi (Othello) game for the CMM2. It can be played with or without a mouse. The computer's game play is good enough to beat a novice but only just.

A silly and easy puzzle game for CMM2. A mouse is required, sorry.

This program redraws the entire image every frame. The number on the bottom left is the time taken to draw the screen. The program is set to start a new redraw every 35 milliseconds. If the image frames start to take longer than this, then things could start to get laggy. It takes many many things on screen to get to this, a testament to just how fast the CMM2 BASIC interpreter runs.

Rubik's Cube features a 3x3x3 cube that has tiles with six different colors. The object is to manipulate the tiles such that each face has all of the nine tiles set to the same color. There are two different views available.

Three programs are provided. One is keyboard controlled and another is Wii Controller controlled. The maze can be up to 199 by 99 characters in size. Would like to offer larger mazes than that, but am not sure how to at the moment. The user selects the initial size of the maze and selects one of eight screen resolution modes. The player needs to collect a key on each maze level in order to unlock the door leading downward to the next maze which is a little bit larger than the previous one. Along the way there are six different treasure types to collect. The color of the maze walls changes from level to level. Three MP3 sound effects are used.

SIMON has four game variations with four, six, eight, and twelve colors. Control is via the keyboard and firmware 5.07 or higher is required. Mode 15 which has resolution 1280 x 1024 is utilized. The computer selects a series of colors and the player tries to repeat the series.

A solitaire game for the CMM2 that lets you play any of 10 different games: Klondike, Canfield, EightOff, PileOn, Yukon, Golf, FreeCell, FourSeasons, and BeleaguredCastle. It does require a mouse; sorry! I could not find a good way to allow for a fun playing experience without a mouse.

Rough conversion (by Capsikin) of a version of Space Invaders written for the original Maximite (by Fabrice Muller). The zip file contains multiple versions and it is in need of some TLC.

Similar to the classic Star-Trek game but more graphical in nature. This is still in development, though I'm busy with other things at the moment, but you can go around blasting enemies and resupplying at the supply pods.

The original version of Yellow River Kingdom was an edutainment title included on the BBC Micro Welcome Tape/Disc and is a variant on the classic Hamurabi game.
It was (c) BBC Soft, 1981 and written by Tom Hartley, Jerry Temple-Fry and Richard G Warner.
I like to think that every British child in the 80's and early 90's would either have played this game or at least watched someone else play it on their school BBC Micro - often, at least early on, there was only one BBC per school and it was wheeled from classroom to classroom on a special trolley along with its obligatory CUB Microtech monitor.
This version was ported to MMBasic 5.07 by Thomas Hugo Williams in 2021 starting from this source code: http://brandy.matrixnetwork.co.uk/examples/KINGDOM.
