I’ve yet to be disappointed by any of Andy’s titles and my hopes were equally high when I came across the intriguingly titled Ooze, co-created…
The Commodore 64 has had a healthy gaming scene for well over a decade with the strongest resurgence stemming from last year’s releases of Galencia, PlanetGolf 64 and Sam’s Journey, to name just a few, along with the fuss made around TheC64 Mini.

When it comes to racing games, it would be difficult for even the most discerning of Commodore Amiga fans to disagree that that the Lotus trilogy weren’t among the very best that the system had to offer. Developed by Magnetic Fields and published by Gremlin Graphics between 1990 and 1992, this was a franchise that showcased the technical capabilities of the…
The C64 game scene is currently undergoing somewhat of a renaissance in respect to the release of new quality titles with original story content. Knight ‘n’ Grail would have kicked off this phenomena when it was originally released back in 2009, with its high production values and engrossing gameplay.
