Basterdale Farm
This is a homebrought game, run on Gameboy Color. Original version: Davey Sludge - The Death Squad, ZX Spectrum, 2025. Created with GB-Studio 2.0.0 beta5!
Also available for download in .CIA format for the Nintendo 3DS virtual console!
The muddiest diamond chase of the decade!
Welcome to Basterdale Farm – a once-proud estate now fallen into ruin and up for grabs. But not for free! You’re Percy the Pig, a plucky porker with a dream: to buy the farm and bring it back to glory. There’s just one snag... it costs 45 diamonds!
Scattered across the fields, barns, and pastures lie the glittering gems you’ll need. But beware – the farm is crawling with mischievous creatures, rogue animals, and other unmentionable farmyard nasties who do not want you to succeed.
Luckily, Percy has a secret weapon: the almighty belch. With a mighty BURP, all nearby enemies are turned to dust – giving you a chance to snort your way to safety and press on in your noble quest.
Dodge danger, outwit the pests, and gobble every last gem. Collect all 45 diamonds and the farm is yours – pigsty and all!
Can you hoof it to victory, or will Percy end up bacon?

Managed to finish it, you even got the boxing glove knocking Ed Millipedes teeth out!
Yes, I tried to be as faithful as possible to the original! I also saw the ending for Willy the Wasp, it will be a bit more complicated, but I'll get it there :)
Great to see a new homebrew game! :)
Thank You!!!
Your Welcome! :)
All I can say is THANK YOU so much for what you did at the beginning of this. It was a pleasure to do the video, pay for the game and give an honest great tip to you.
You and the Death Squad make a great partnership on this.
Here is my tribute, thank you again my friend.
Thank you so much for taking the time three times to showcase this game with its amazing graphics. Unfortunately, I couldn’t listen to the 'G is the Gentlemen' music a thousand times, because I had to fix the diamond bug right away. I can’t believe I didn’t notice it myself, but this is great — thank you! And please upload that music to Spotify. :) You truly deserve all the praise, not just for your impressive gaming skills :) but for your kindness and the extraordinary level of care and quality you put into your channel. Huge thanks again for everything!
Lazlo had done a fantastic job converting this.
This is fantastic, cant believe how quick you did this.
Thank you very much for your comment, it's much easier to make a game when you don't have to do the basic concept and graphics, because they're already there. Unfortunately, I can't draw, but the graphic elements of your games are brilliant! I think we'll meet again. :)
