As you may have noticed the site has been a bit thin on Commodore News lately, what with all the awesome ZX Spectrum News, so I have picked a few of my favourite releases from the CSDb website recently that I think are worth checking out. CSDb is a website dedicated to gathering as much information as possible about productions,…
If you like SID chiptunes or any retro-gaming-inspired instrumental music for that matter, this might be right up your alley. Phillip Gross has released a new album called ‘Katerstimmung’ with 10 tunes that have a strong connection to video games from the 80’s and 90’s. Although the tunes are not directly related to specific games, Phillip clearly shows from where…
While flicking through Twitter this morning, I came across a short video by Batman Group posted by Jose Maria. The video below shows an interesting Mario demo with a clear example of horizontal scroll on the Amstrad CPC. We can see how the character moves smoothly along the small designed stage. Obviously, at present it is nothing more than a proof of…

The version 1.4.2 has been released just in time to be used in the Amstrad CPC Game Development competition CPCRetroDev’17. Features included in this release: Updated SDCC compiler from version…
Atari has released some photos of its upcoming (?) new console, Ataribox. The console shows a slick design that reminds us of our old pal, the Atari 2600, featuring an HDMI port, USB and SD slot.

However I have just found some more C64 News regarding a similar project, not FPGA based but a new reproduction C64 board. Casian over…
Those of you who are closely following and maybe even backing the ZX Spectrum Next, may be pleased to know that Victor Trucco recently added a new video on YouTube showing WAV files playing on the Next! I am pretty savvy when it comes to computers and technology but the way this was achieved kinda flew right over my head…
Good Afternoon.. Here is the Bagley News .. Jim Bagley’s New Next game has been updated! The official name for the game has been decided and it will be called “Baggers on Ladders”. To celebrate the new name, Jim has implemented walking up and down ladders! As you can see from the video the game is coming along nicely, Donkey…
It is very refreshing to see articles over the “retro” internet about software development for our beloved retromachines, but what if you want to go one step further and release that software as a physical copy, in cartridge, and with a shiny box? To answer this questions and some more, Lavi Lavandeira has published a new post over MSXCenter reviewing manufacturers…
Hot off the press! Gabriele Amore (Donkey Kong Jr, Crazy Kong City, Castle Capers) has just given us the heads up about a brand new game which he released today. “MONKEY J: The treasure of the gold temple that was lost in the forest until he (or she?) found it”, (takes a breath, phew!) is a gorgeous new platformer starring…
