Prince of Persia, an amazing game released in 1989 on the Apple II and ported to most platforms of the day but not the Commodore 64 for some reason. In 2 days time the game is due to be released on the C64 in EasyFlash format, a cartridge format for the C64 but luckily Vice [...]
I was a big fan of Stunt Car Racer on the C64, and later played it on the Amiga too but I never knew about Stunt Car Racer TNT. TNT is an extra tracks mod of the Amiga version released a few years ago by AmiGer. Here’s his announcement post: Stunt Car Racer TNT (The [...]
If you’re an older gamer who loved the classic gameplay of Rick Dangerous and other platformers you’ll love Rocky Memphis and The Temple of Ophuxoff, a freeware game made by Trevor (Smilia) Storey and Stuart Collier. It’s a huge 600 screen platformer to explore so this won’t be finished quickly. It’s “casual gamer” friendly too [...]
I’m sure I’ve heard this before but the video is new to me. Enjoy! Odd that their C64 isn’t plugged in. The power cable went in at the side. The joystick ports are strangely blacked out too. Gosh, might it not be a real Commodore 64? (via)
I have a new favourite game and it’s VVVVVV. I’d never heard of this game until this post brought it to my attention. Apparently it’s an indie hit on modern platforms, but here it is for the venerable C64! Having played it I’m tempted to buy the modern original game and I’m looking forward to [...]
I’m starting to get into the Campaign in Halo Reach now. I have to admit that after the space battle I was sort of disappointed there was no Elite style docking sequence and classical music to accompany me in… (From the BBC version, which didn’t have the excellent music of the C64 version) Oh, I [...]
It was with amazement I read that question on the hupit forum a while back. What? You’ve never heard of Double Dragon? Arcade beat ‘em up from the late 80′s? Double Dragon was only one of the most anticipated arcade conversions of 1989. A two player beat ‘em up, heroes (Billy and Jimmy Lee) fighting [...]
Foot taping stuff. Great tune by Reyn Ouwehand. If you hear my phone ring an mp3 remix of this tune is what you’ll hear. Yes, I.am.a.big.C64.fan! When you’re finished with that, try out this guitar cover of the same tune. Bob played each voice of the C64 (plus noise I guess) separately and merged them [...]
mymorningjackets did an absolutely amazing job arranging the theme tune from C64 classic game The Last Ninja. Wonderful stuff. I would love an MP3 version of this.
