A general repo containing all the gamebuino classic game's source codes i could find
The Gamebuino Classic was a small hobbyist
open-source handheld built around an ATmega328, an 84x48 Nokia 5110 LCD,
and an Arduino-based library. Its community produced several dozen real
homebrew games between roughly 2012 and 2018, indexed on the official
community wiki at legacy.gamebuino.com/wiki/index.php?title=Games.
That wiki, and most of the game pages/forum threads/personal sites it linked to, no longer exist on the live web. This repository is a plain, historical archive of every Gamebuino Classic game (and a few non-game tools) that could actually be located, so the source code doesn’t disappear along with the sites that used to host it.
Nothing here is original work — every subfolder is someone else’s real
game or tool, reproduced (or pointed to) as faithfully as it could be
recovered. See each entry’s own LICENSE/header comments for its actual
terms; nothing in this repository is relicensed, and several entries below
have no license specified at all by their own original author, which
is noted explicitly rather than assumed permissive.
Every game lives under games/ and every non-game tool under
tools/, one subfolder each, named after its original
repository or release. A real find that ships only compiled .HEX/.INF
binaries with no source of its own gets the same treatment but in
games_precompiled//tools_precompiled/
instead, so the real/no-source distinction stays visible without either
diluting the source-bearing tables above it or discarding a real find
outright. Two different storage mechanisms are used within each pair,
deliberately:
.gitmodules) — if the upstream
repository ever disappears, the pointer alone won’t recover the code.
Pinning to an exact commit at least guarantees this archive always
points at the exact version it was built from, not whatever the
repository happens to contain later..zip from a forum/Mediafire/
Dropbox/personal site, or a repository whose original home is already
gone (e.g. a dead Bitbucket link, recovered instead from a copy
supplied directly by someone who still had one). There is no live
source left to point a submodule at, so the actual files are committed
here directly — this is the case that actually satisfies “so they
don’t get lost.”Each table below has a “Source” column linking either straight to the still-live upstream repository (submodule entries) or to the local folder in this archive (manually-recovered entries, since that folder is the only place the content still exists).
One entry (bub) is a special case worth flagging explicitly, since a
naive submodule-everything pass would have gotten it wrong: its
originally-listed GitHub repository really did exist, but contained
nothing but a README.md and no real source at all. The real source was
recovered separately (a direct .zip from the author’s own site) and is
stored here as plain committed files, not a submodule of the empty repo.
(The author has since moved active development to
gitlab.com/smogheap/bub, which does
now carry real, substantial source of its own — found during a later
author-repo sweep. Not switched to a submodule of that GitLab repo since
the plain files already archived here were independently recovered and
verified; noted here in case a future session wants to reconcile the two
or track that GitLab repo’s own further development.)
games/Gamebuino-Classic/ is the official Gamebuino Classic library
itself (not a game) — archived here too since it’s the actual API every
other entry in this repository is written against, and it’s just as
exposed to disappearing as everything else. Gamebuino’s own bundled
2.Intermediate/Pong example (credited below as “Pong Solo”) lives inside
it, not in its own top-level folder.
The wiki listed roughly 75 games. The table below covers every one whose real source code could actually be found and archived.

67 real wiki-listed games found and archived, out of ~75 known entries — see “Games we have not found source code for” below for the rest.
Real, recoverable non-game source — editors, compilations, simulators,
converters, demos, and utilities. Most were real wiki entries; several
more were found later via broader author/repo sweeps not listed on the
wiki at all (noted per-row below). None of these are games, so they live
in tools/, not games/:
| Tool | Author | License | Source |

tools/gamebuinoEducation (Submodule - a genuinely substantial 13-lesson Gamebuino Classic programming course with real working starter/example code per lesson; not on the wiki, found via an author/repo sweep) |
| ghost | Clement83 | None specified | tools/ghost (Submodule - a “ghost detector” novelty gadget using the real ambient-light sensor as a dowsing-needle gauge; a real, complete, non-stub demo, not a game with a win/lose state; found via a full author-repo-list sweep) |
| Gray Experiment | Drakker | None specified | tools/gray-experiment (Manual recovery - a graphics/dithering tech demo; same author already credited for games/Bricks-Drakker; drakker.org itself doesn’t resurface this sub-page live, recovered via Wayback) |

| yoda-fxsynth | Yoda Zhang | None specified | tools/yoda-fxsynth (Manual download - a sound-effect synth/editor tool, not a game) |
Real, historically significant finds that ship only compiled .HEX/.INF
binaries — no .ino/.cpp/.h source of their own. Kept in a separate
tools_precompiled//games_precompiled/ category rather than mixed into
the source-bearing tables above or dropped outright, so the distinction
stays visible at a glance rather than requiring a reader to open each
entry to find out:
| Tool | Author | License | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| AttoTracker | wuuff (likely — see note) | None specified | tools_precompiled/AttoTracker (Manual extraction - a music tracker; a real 2017 forum post by the already-credited wuuff mentions “my AttoTracker” in passing, but no surviving public repo was ever found under that or any other name, so authorship is a strong lead, not a confirmed fact) |
| Gamebuino Classic Games Compilation | Gamebuino (official) | GPLv3 | tools_precompiled/Gamebuino-Classic-Games-Compilation (Submodule - the official SD-card compilation) |
| Gamebuino Classic_Games | FeroBoh | None specified | tools_precompiled/Gamebuino-Classic_Games (Submodule - a large fan-made SD-card compilation, same shape as the official one above; the actual source of every entry in the “Games found precompiled-only” table below, recovered by decoding its bundled .HEX files back to raw binary and reading their own embedded ASCII strings) |
| Mandeluino | svenofnine | None specified | tools_precompiled/mandelbuino (Manual download - a Mandelbrot-set viewer; the original copy was deleted before this category existed, then re-supplied by the user a second time) |
| PlayBuino | muessigb | All rights reserved — “you are not allowed to reuse the source at all” | tools_precompiled/PlayBuino (Submodule - a Game & Watch ROM player/converter) |
| XMAS Demo 2014 | Unknown | None specified | tools_precompiled/XmasDemo2014 (Manual extraction - a small Christmas-themed tech demo, dated 2014; no author trace found anywhere) |
Same situation as the tools table above, but games — real, distinct
Gamebuino Classic titles with no surviving source anywhere, identified by
decoding compiled .HEX files from the fan compilation back to raw
binary and reading the plaintext UI/credit strings Gamebuino sketches
embed even after compiling (title screens, “Game Over” text, author
credits). Every one below was independently searched for afterward —
author name plus game title, GitHub/web/itch.io/forum — and confirmed to
have no real source recoverable anywhere, not just left unsearched:
| Game | Author | License | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3D Blocks | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/3DBlocks (Manual extraction - largest file of this whole batch, fills the entire 32KB flash; sparse embedded strings, no author trace found) |
| Craig Page’s Asteroids | Craig Page | None specified | games_precompiled/CraigPagesAsteroids (Manual extraction - genuinely distinct from the already-archived games/yoda-asterocks; a real wiki-adjacent forum thread was found but has zero Wayback coverage) |
| DD Port | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/DDPort (Manual extraction - “DD” likely stands for “Dangerous Dave,” per a matching real forum thread (“Just One Idea - Dangerous Dave”) describing the same 10-level, door-exit structure; that thread has zero Wayback coverage, so the connection is a strong lead, not confirmed) |
| Dogs & Bones | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/DogsAndBones (Manual extraction - no author trace found) |
| Dr. Dental | “Nick” (per a real, now-unreachable forum thread) | None specified | games_precompiled/DrDental (Manual extraction - a tribute to Bandai’s Game & Watch “Dr. Dental”; the one forum thread naming an author has zero Wayback coverage) |
| Dungeons | Original by TEAM Arg. (team-arg.org); Gamebuino port by awesome101 | None specified | games_precompiled/Dungeons (Manual extraction - awesome101 is already credited here for games/Blob-Attack, but their current GitHub account has no Dungeons repo left) |
| EPIC MINI GAMES! | MicroGames | None specified | games_precompiled/EpicMiniGames (Manual extraction - a real wiki-listed title, previously tracked as fully unrecoverable; the author’s own live gamebuino.com profile confirms “did not enable direct download,” so this compiled copy circulating in a third-party fan compilation is the only surviving copy found anywhere) |
| Juggler (Game & Watch: BALL) | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/Juggler (Manual extraction - a tribute to the Game & Watch “Ball” juggling game; no author trace found) |
| Lefty Righty | “PixelGuff” | None specified | games_precompiled/LeftyRighty (Manual extraction - author handle from its own title screen, no matching itch.io/GitHub account found) |
| Little Racer | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/LittleRacer (Manual recovery - a real, unreleased racing-game prototype; four sequential 2016 dev builds recovered via a full enumeration of the Gamebuino forum’s own attachment-ID scheme on the Wayback Machine, working title only, no author or forum thread ever identified) |
| Maciej Dobrzanski’s game | Maciej Dobrzanski | None specified | games_precompiled/MaciejDobrzanskiGame (Manual extraction - author name embedded in the binary itself, no matching GitHub account found) |
| Night Driver | svenofnine | None specified | games_precompiled/NightDriver (Manual extraction - a real wiki-listed title, previously tracked as fully unrecoverable (dead personal-site zip link); this compiled copy circulating in a third-party fan compilation is the only surviving copy found anywhere) |
| Operation Fox | Jonne Valola (“Jonnection”) | All rights reserved — “NO WARRANTY” | games_precompiled/OperationFox (Submodule - the author’s own binary-only release repo, not a third-party copy; a real action/rescue game, “Colombia 1982,” recovered directly from a fan compilation, then traced to this authoritative source) |
| Planet X | MicroGames | None specified | games_precompiled/PlanetX (Manual extraction - confirmed as MicroGames’ real “Legacy Planet X” release via their live gamebuino.com profile, “did not enable direct download,” same situation as EPIC MINI GAMES! above) |
| Power Guitar | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/PowerGuitar (Manual extraction - a rhythm/guitar game, no author trace found) |
| Robo-Sushi | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/RoboSushi (Manual extraction - no author trace found) |
| Shell game | Unknown (German-language UI text suggests a German-speaking author) | None specified | games_precompiled/ShellGame (Manual extraction - no author trace found despite trying German search terms too) |
| Shoot Zero | Linky439 | None specified | games_precompiled/ShotZero (Manual extraction - a real wiki-listed title, previously tracked as fully unrecoverable; this compiled copy circulating in a third-party fan compilation is the only surviving copy found anywhere) |
| Snuke | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/Snuke (Manual extraction - a real matching forum post was found on a now-fully-retired community site with zero Wayback coverage) |
| Squash | MicroGames | None specified | games_precompiled/Squash (Manual extraction - confirmed as MicroGames’ real “Squash” release via their live gamebuino.com profile, same “did not enable direct download” situation as EPIC MINI GAMES! above) |
| Stack Challenge | BlackDragon | None specified | games_precompiled/StackChallenge (Manual extraction - a real wiki-listed title, previously tracked as fully unrecoverable; this compiled copy circulating in a third-party fan compilation is the only surviving copy found anywhere) |
| StrikerBuino | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/StrikerBuino (Manual extraction - a real shoot-em-up with a mission-complete/rank system, no author trace found) |
| StrongMan | Unknown (“My first game” per its own embedded text) | None specified | games_precompiled/StrongMan (Manual extraction - likely a genuine beginner’s first project, no author trace found) |
| Thordar’s Adventure | Unknown | None specified | games_precompiled/ThordarsAdventure (Manual extraction - loads external THORDAR.DAT level data, included; a real 2014 YouTube preview video confirms the game is genuine, but named no author and no repo) |
24 games found this way — 22 extracted directly from the fan compilation, plus Operation Fox (staged from the author’s own repo) and Little Racer (recovered via the Wayback Machine) — all confirmed real and Gamebuino Classic (not META) via their own embedded strings, with no source recoverable anywhere after an independent search per title.
Not listed on the community wiki at all — found later via broader
searches (GitHub topic/keyword search for gamebuino classic, and
checking each already-known author’s own other repositories for more
Gamebuino Classic work they never submitted to the wiki). Every
candidate was checked one by one against <Gamebuino-Meta.h>-based
projects for the newer, unrelated Gamebuino META board, and excluded
when it matched that instead:
| Game | Author | License | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced Lawnmower Simulator | deKay (original version by Duncan McDonald) | None specified | games/AdvancedLawnmowerSimulator (Submodule - resolves a previous mystery: this project’s own compiled-only WellMown entry (internal filename ALS, embedded title “Well Mown!”) is this exact game — found via a full author-repo-list sweep on deKay01, already credited for games/RSG-Gamebuino) |
| Aimbuino | Baptiste Pouget (hosted under ogbaba’s account) | GPLv3 | games/Aimbuino (Submodule - “Bsktuino”, an aiming/basketball game; a real 2016 school project, “ISN Project 2016, Lorgues”, per its own README - explains the shared hosting) |

| another2048 | grafMakulaDer2te | None specified | games/another2048 (Submodule - a genuinely different 2048 codebase from the already-archived Gamebuino2048; the repo also carries a separate meta_version branch for the unrelated META board — the default main branch archived here is the real Classic one; found via the live gamebuino.com/creations site) |
| Bomberman (by “Limited”) | JohnAkerman | None specified | games/Gamebuino-Bomberman (Submodule - a genuinely different Bomberman codebase from the already-archived games/Bomber; identified from a compiled binary bundled in a fan compilation via its own embedded title-screen/version strings, then matched to its real source repo) |
| Bricks! | Drakker | None specified | games/Bricks-Drakker (Manual recovery - the original drakker.org site is unreachable, source recovered via a full Wayback Machine snapshot of the page; identified the same way as Bomberman above, via a compiled binary’s own embedded credit string) |
| Chuckie GameBuino | tluyben | None specified | games/ChuckieGameBuino (Submodule - a real Chuckie Egg clone; found via a GitHub repo-search sweep) |

| cruiser | specht | None specified | games/cruiser (Submodule - a genuine 3D shooter, the most structurally unusual find in this archive; ships its own from-scratch reimplementation of the Gamebuino API rather than the real library) |
| Dark Shmup | Clement83 | None specified | games/DarkShmup (Submodule - a real shoot-em-up) |
| Dark Tower | Marcus Hutchings | GPLv3 | games/DarkTower (Submodule - a real text-based adventure game, found via the live gamebuino.com/creations site rather than the old wiki or GitHub search) |
| Discovery | FirstKlaas | None specified (an unmerged branch of the repo adds an LGPLv3 LICENSE file, never merged into the default branch — noted, not resolved) |
games/discovery (Submodule - a Star Trek-themed shooter; its own title screen literally displays the author’s handle, “FirstKlaas”, as the game’s title) |
| Duel | Clement83 | None specified | games/Duel (Submodule - a sword-duel game with genuine two-cartridge Wire.h master/slave multiplayer) |
| Egg Catcher | Temoli | None specified | games/Egg_catcher (Submodule - a real MAKERbuino-targeted catching game; found via a GitHub repo-search sweep) |

| Fifteen | Tnxec2 | None specified | games/fifteen (Submodule - a classic sliding 15-puzzle with real EEPROM save; a genuinely different codebase from the already-archived Taquin, same concept, different author; found by checking this author’s own full repo list directly rather than trusting a paginated listing view, which had been silently dropping entries) |
| Fighting Fantasy 1 (Gamebookuino engine) | mougino | None specified | games/Gamebookuino (Submodule - a real gamebook/interactive-fiction engine for playing Steve Jackson’s “The Warlock of Firetop Mountain” on Gamebuino Classic, plus a companion PC authoring tool for .LDV adventure files and a French sibling title, “Défis Fantastiques 01”) |
| Firemen | Vicking69 | GPLv2 | games/firemen (Submodule) |
| Flabuino | FirstKlaas | None specified | games/Flabuino (Submodule - a real Flappy Bird clone; same author already credited for games/discovery; found via a GitHub repo-search sweep) |
| Footlol | Baptiste Pouget (hosted under ogbaba’s account) | GPLv3 | games/FOOTLOL-Gamebuino (Submodule - a small football game) |
| Frogger (MAKERbuino port) | Andy Jackson | None specified | games/Frogger_MAKERbuino (Manual extraction - one real subfolder of andyhighnumber/Attiny-Arduino-Games, a live but mostly-unrelated ATtiny85 compilation repo; extracted as plain files rather than submoduled whole, same treatment as BigBlackBox’s own compilation-repo source) |
| Gamebuino (StijnCaerts) | Stijn Caerts | MIT | games/StijnCaerts-Gamebuino (Submodule - bundles a real local 2-player Pong and a Snake; the Snake needs a real external ivanseidel/LinkedList Arduino library) |
| Copter (by Anny) | annyfm (Aneurin Barker Snook) | None specified | games/Gamebuino-Copter (Submodule - this recovers the “copter” title long tracked in this project’s own “not found” list as genuinely unrecoverable; the original annyfm/Gamebuino-Copter repo is still gone, but a real mirror survives, its single commit authored by “Aneurin Barker Snook anny@anny.fm” — confirmed to be the actual original author, not a random re-upload) |
| Gamebuino-Classic-Snake-5110 | Lady Awesome & MakerSquirrel | GPLv3 (per the repo’s own LICENSE) — though the source file’s own header comment separately claims CC-BY-SA; a real, unresolved conflict between the two, not resolved here |

| Minesweeper (Tnxec2’s fork) | Tnxec2 | None specified | games/minesw-gameguino (Submodule - a real, confirmed fork of the already-archived dirksteindorf/Gamebuino-Minesweeper with its own gameplay changes: maximized board size, a medium difficulty, restart-on-loss; a genuinely different codebase state, not a duplicate; found via an author/repo sweep) |

| Pacman | Sot0 | None specified | games/Pacman-Sot0 (Manual extraction - a real Pac-Man clone found bundled inside dunk8888/Gamebuino-1, a live but mostly-unrelated compilation repo; its own title screen credits “Pacman by Sot0 (0.1)”, a different person than the repo’s own account holder) |
| PAK-MAN (MAKERbuino port) | Andy Jackson | None specified | games/PAK-MAN_MAKERbuino (Manual extraction - the other real Gamebuino/MAKERbuino subfolder of the same andyhighnumber/Attiny-Arduino-Games compilation repo as Frogger above; a Pac-Man clone ported from the AttinyArcade) |

67 games found this way, on top of the 67 real wiki-listed ones above.
Every one of these was a real wiki entry, checked more than once via a different route (the wiki’s own dead link, the author’s GitHub/current gamebuino.com profile, a broad general web search) before being given up on. Worth a fresh attempt if a future visitor to this repo has a lead any of these searches missed — a personal archive, an old email attachment, a still-running mirror this project’s own search tooling didn’t find.
| Game | Author | Why it’s still missing |
|---|---|---|
| THE SHIP | Macgyvers1 (Vincent aro) | Facebook-hosted download only, now behind a login wall; the credited author’s GitHub account doesn’t exist |
| ROBOTRON | Macgyvers1 (Vincent aro) | Same as THE SHIP |
| Balls | Macgyvers1 (Vincent aro) | Same as THE SHIP |
copter (annyfm) is no longer listed here — it was tracked as
genuinely unrecoverable (the original annyfm/Gamebuino-Copter repo
really is gone), but a real mirror of it, authored by the original
“anny@anny.fm” himself, turned up during a broader search and is now
archived as games/Gamebuino-Copter.
EPIC MINI GAMES!, NightDriver, Stack Challenge, and Shot Zero are no
longer listed here — all four were long tracked as fully unrecoverable
as source, but real compiled copies of each turned up bundled in a
third-party fan compilation (tools_precompiled/Gamebuino-Classic_Games)
and are now archived in the “Games found precompiled-only” table above.
Source still doesn’t exist for any of them; this just reflects that a
real, playable copy does.
This repository is an archival index, not a single work — it carries no
overall license of its own. Every subfolder is the real, original work of
its own credited author, under whatever license (or lack of one) that
author actually chose; check each entry’s own LICENSE file or source
header before reusing anything from it.
