In the realms of Commodore 64 fantasy horror titles, there are few that can touch Cosmi’s 1983 release, Beyond the Forbidden Forest. It was not only terrifying but addictive, making the most of limited colour and sounds to create quite an unsettling experience. But there were two other games back in the 8-bit heyday, well one actually as Spellcast was…
Following 6 months of ASM-hacking, register-poking and generally slaving over a hot keyboard, the C64 community has served up yet another batch of exciting and intriguing titles for this year’s RGCD 16K Cartridge Competition. An impressive 20 titles were submitted by the July 1st deadline, and it’s fair to say that the judging panel has its work cut out this…

This game originally piqued my interest thanks to the cover of CRASH magazine #14 (March 1985). I mean, look at these guys… they kind of look like the grotesque marionettes Jeff Dunham uses for his ventriloquist act: Upon further investigation, ads for this game boast “1st ever multi-role arcade adventure” and there’s a song called “Everyone’s A Wally” included on…

Let it be known that I’m a sucker for video games based on film properties I enjoyed as a kid — so when I saw that Back to the Future for the C64 hadn’t been reviewed yet, I jumped at the chance. I do remember playing the NES version of this game released by LJN in the late 80s. I…
It is that time again! We are finally releasing the Commodore 64 CSDb demo releases from May, 2019. There was nothing less than nine demos (one-file demos and full demos) and one better than the other, so I recommend you watching them all. I particularly liked What Is Special Order #937, Hokuto Force’s homage to the movie Alien, released 40…
