Back in the days when a few quid could net you a new game, budget titles in your local newsagents were a god send. In most cases, it came down to the battle of the box art as to which one to choose. Future Bike Simulator’s promise as “The Ultimate For Speed Freaks”, along with the art work showing a…

Who said simplicity is the same as “not fun”? If you’ve grown up playing some of the Nintendo Game&Watch, you know what I am talking about. The games are very simple, usually with one or two gameplays, but their core arcade design that demands a lot of the player in eye coordination and dexterity delivers hours of fun without much…
One of the most expected and respected contests in the retro computing community is turning 10 years old and ready to roll! The Tenth Edition of the BASIC 10-Liner has started and already waiting for your submission. This edition’s rules are pretty much the same as last year’s.

Crackpots, a game originally released for the Atari 2600 in 1983, has been ported for the Commodore 64 by Antonio Savona, with graphics by STE’86 and music by Saul Cross.

This is unfortunate because KS is a legitimate way to fund a project that otherwise would never see the light of the day. Being one of these projects, the Museum of Electronic…
Jan Derogee one day discovered that resistive touch panels (meant to be used in combination with LCD screens of the same size) were relatively easy to buy and fairly cheap. He then started to imagine how it would be like to use such a touch panel for controlling his PC and (most importantly! ) C64, instead of a regular mouse. The idea to…
Welle:Erdball has been making music for almost 30 years, and the Commodore 64 has been an integral part of their unique sound since the beginning. Joerg and AJ talk to W:E members Honey and MissMoonlight about their musical process, what it means to them to be able to create art at this level, and the importance that the C64 plays…
How much silliness you can fit in 4Kb? Ausretrogamer, the Australian retro gamer e-zine, has announced the 2020 Reset64 4Kb game coding competition. As the previous editions from 2016 and 2018, the theme is “craptastic”, and we have to quote Ausretrogamer post as it explains it properly: “Craptastic can mean ludicrous, bonkers, outrageous, funny, wacky, far out, and silly”. My…
World of Commodore is an annual gathering for …err… Commodore computers enthusiasts. The 16th edition happened last December 7th, 2019, in Toronto, Canada. I was suppose to go but at the last minute I had to cancel and was pretty annoyed to miss it.
