We’ve talked about that before, but if you didn’t read, know that Sam’s Journey is a brand-new original scrolling platform game for the Commodore 64 with huge levels to be explored, hidden items to be found and secret passages to be discovered. The game is yet to be released this year and we can’t wait to see that happen. Knights of…
This 2-part article, written by Jimmy Maher on the ‘The Digital Antiquarian’ blog tackles software piracy, since the dawn of personal computing. The first part focus on the history, starting with the open letter Bill Gates wrote back in 1976, asking the hobbyists to not copy Micro-soft software and explaining how software copyright came to be. The second part is actually my favorite,…
TOSEC (The Old School Emulation Center) has been updated focusing on Commodore systems, with contributions to C64 by Duncan Twain and Amiga by Crashdisk, cataloguing new software and updating existent sets to fix naming errors.

As pointed out by RGCD itself, it is been a long time since we’ve heard about the ’16KB Cartridge Game Development Competition’, but today they finally sent out the current status.

The gameplay is pretty much the standard Shoot’em with…

He starts with “I love my Raspberry Pi. I think it is one of the best computer systems people can buy. It is cheap….
The 2015 Sideways SEUCK compo came to an end. Although counting only with three contestants, the competition was fierce due to the high quality of all three games. With 79 votes the winner is PAN!, followed by U-91306 Eidothea with 76 votes. The third place, grabbing 72 votes, was Edge of Time. I shot three short videos of the gameplay of all…
Petscii-Poker, developed by the group Software of Sweden, was released a while back and now has been updated delivering faster gameplay and also miscellaneous bug fixes. As the name suggest, it is a poker game that uses PETSCII characters to represent the graphics, with very impressive results. The background music is another welcome touch that creates a nice mood to…
Nothing like a good brainless shot’em up game to celebrate 2016, eh? If you agree you should try Flying Cobra RX, released today by The New Dimension. The game is very fast and the smooth animation, impeccable! I recommend the joystick instead of the keyboard if you can, as the game is harder using the keyboard. The sideways missiles are…
