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 [...]
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.
Wow, I’m impressed. AEG Soft have modified the original C64 version of Microprose Soccer and updated it. It now has the teams that will appear in this year’s World Cup in South Africa! My brothers loved this game back in the day, and I played it a small bit too. If I was a football [...]
Retro Gamer has a big feature on the Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins series of games. The C64 version of Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins was the first game I tried hacking into with my Action Replay to see how it worked. I think I only threw out the notes I made from that time a few weeks ago. [...]
Armalyte, a horizontal shooter from the glory days of the C64 was and still is a firm favourite of mine. It was bloody hard, but I think I got about half way through the game. I knew there was a remake coming but not sure when. Well, it’s out now. JUSTONEMOREGAME has posted a glowing [...]

The tiny graphics animated well and even supported two players racing split screen. If you enjoyed that game you’ll love Trials [...]
This game should need no introduction to Commodore 64 fans, but for the rest, Armalyte is one of the best shoot ‘em ups on that amazing home computer. The great news is that it’s finally seeing an officially approved remake from Psytronik in the UK. It’s due out later this year. Check out the following [...]
This isn’t the first time a Commodore 64 laptop has been made but it’s probably the coolest one. Commodore’s original SX 64 was built in 1984 and featured a tiny 5 inch CRT screen with a hardly portable body weighing in at 10kg! I actually saw an SX 64 years ago in Cork Micro, the [...]
Get your dose of retro action in this video! The Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC 464, 1541 disk drive, Sony Walkman, D&D, Sodastream and various other memories of the 80′s all make an appearance. Might not be safe for work though. You’ve been warned! An introduction video used for a couple of our concerts as a [...]
