A downloadable Whack 'Em Smack 'Em for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

They're wacky! They're smacky! They're smart-alecky! They're Byrons, and they're popping up all over! Bop these troublesome little bears with a swing of your patented PEEK-0 hammer, but don't whack their butts... and definitely don't hit their cartoon bombs.

Eight stages of whackin', smackin' fun (and an ending, should you get good enough to finish them all) are included in this beta version of the game, available for the ColecoVision (and coming soon to related formats like the SG-1000 and MSX). Whack 'Em Smack 'Em Byrons was created by JessCREATIONS, with the development environment CV Basic. (Yes, it's made with BASIC. Sheddup.)

RELEASE CANDIDATES! Whack 'Em Smack 'Em Byrons is "finished," in air quotes. There may be a few bugs left to squash, but development for the ColecoVision and SG-1000 versions of the game is done, barring unforeseen complications. It can be played from start to finish without issues, and there's even a credits screen if you wait long enough for it to pop up.

Install instructions

Run the Whack 'Em Smack 'Em Byrons ROM in the ColecoVision emulator of your choice. There's plenty of them, you won't be starved for choice. Heck, you could even run it in a ColecoVision if you wanted, should you have the proper equipment. Funny thought!

There's an SG-1000 version of the game available for those who prefer that system. Installation is pretty much the same... just find an SG-1000 emulator (Kega Fusion runs everything from Sega up to the Genesis and 32X) and select the file with it.
