Gauntlet 3 on the #Commodore64 was complete, but not properly released - sneaking out only via an extremely limited run through the U.S. Gold Software Club. Thankfully, it means that you can get to enjoy the full game today:

This one is fickle. Hangs on Pi1541 after RUN, and hangs on the transition to the 3rd part on my 1541-II. If anyone has more luck, please report...

And we are back with Portal (1986) by Activision, an interactive SciFi novel.
Our AI Homer is slightly gloomy at the moment...

I love this wild, experimental, jazzrock-style chiptune for the Commodore 64 conversion of Bionic Commando (1988), arranged for the 3-channel SID audio chip by Tim Follin, based on the arcade original, composed by Harumi Fujita.

P.S.: If you like this kind of energetic old school chiptune, check out this tune by our own game music composer:

Pssst, el clásico arcade de #UltimatePlayTheGame que arrasó en #ZXSpectrum, está ahora disponible para el #commodore64 gracias a Genesis Project que ha mantenido toda la esencia del original intacta. Está disponible en https://csdb.dk/release/?id=234445… #retrogaming #arcade

Hay títulos que cualquiera que se considere amante de los vídeojuegos tiene que jugar. Pitfall es uno de ellos. Manejaremos a Pitfall Harry a través de un laberinto selvático plagado de trampas, animales salvajes y 32 tesoros que debemos recuperar en tan solo 20 minutos.
Personajes y escenarios bien definidos; una excelente respuesta a los controles; una dificultad bastante bien ajustada aderezada con una jugabilidad sencilla pero cautivadora hacen de este cartucho de la #atari2600 un juego imprescindible.
Por supuesto se editó también para la #CBSColecovision donde se podían disfrutar unos gráficos más detallados manteniendo todas las características del juego original.
La versión del #commodore64 aparecida a finales de 1983 es la mejor en cuanto a efectos sonoros de las tres. Gráficamente muy similar a la edición de Coleco aumenta ligeramente el nivel de dificultad respecto a las versiones de consola.
Sea cual sea la versión que decidas jugar te atrapará.

Timeslip

Para aquellos que no hayan oído hablar de este juego, en Timeslip te encuentras con la pantalla dividida en tres secciones o zonas horarias. La sección superior es la superficie del planeta con el jugador controlando un caza, la sección central está ambientada en cavidades subterráneas, y en la sección inferior controlas un minisubmarino. El objetivo del juego es destruir 36 orbes situados en las tres secciones y sincronizar los relojes de las tres zonas a las 00.00 horas.

Let's continue with Portal (1986) by Activision. An interactive novel set in about 2100 where a returning astronaut tries to figure out with the AI Homer where all of humanity went, as Earth is desolate.
We join Homer in his story about Peter Devore, who discovered the so called "Portal".

"Well then" Peter's mother said. "What's the problem?" She had always been embarrassed by her mother's choice.
"It has to do with the databases, I think. I can't find the information I need to complete the calculations."

The Great Gianna Sisters title screen

If you’re in the mood for some retro gaming, head on over to this site, where you can play lots of old Commodore 64 games in your browser! Unfortunately, Firefox caused the audio to stutter, but the games play fine in Edge. I tested Flimbo’s Quest and The Great Gianna Sisters, and they were perfect. I somehow made it to level 5 in the latter game rather quickly. I normally use all my lives in level 2!

There is a huge C64 games archive at archive.org, and there are loads of demos there too! Give Arkanoid 2 a spin while you’re over there. It’s even trained, and you can play with infinite lives! The keyboard controls are the two shift keys and space to fire. 🙂

This "RPG-lite" has lovely 8x8 pixel art. Lots of pixel art inspiration here! It may also serve as game design inspiration, showing how you don't really need complex RPG systems or even battle animation for a cool CRPG experience.

Ewe Woz 'Ere DX - A cool action packed C64 game by DESIGN/Chaos gets a new 1.3 update! - https://www.indieretronews.com/2023/11/ewe-woz-ere-dx-cool-action-packed-c64.html

lorddimwit: not a typewriter

Berkeley Softworks GEOS for the #Commodore64 (and other 8-bits) had a WYSIWYG word processor called geoWrite that could have images (from geoPaint) pasted in.

The official assembler took geoWrite files as input. You wrote assembly in geoWrite, and could bold and italicize stuff.

But when the assembler encountered a pasted-in picture, it automatically turned it into data pseudo instructions and set some assembler vars for the height/width.

You can’t tell me that isn’t rad.

Seriously thinking of what it might be like to have an immutable OS that just drops you into #qbsh. Like, go full on #Commodore64, #Atari, #Apple with it - boot a ROM that drops to a BASIC shell. Like, we take #Linux, and throw POSIX out the window, and include bash for the sake of compatibility and to offload IO that hasn't been natively implemented yet. Using something like #Fedora IoT for the base with automatic updates and using qsh scripts as much as possible for background operations.

After almost 30 years, Penguin Tower has finally been finished and released for the #Commodore64. A long journey for a great Bomberman clone that #GTW has been gently nudging the coder about finishing for some time. Thank you Jani!! ❤️

https://gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/grubz/

Grubz is a stunning looking Worms clone for the #Commodore64 that first appeared around 2004 time via this early preview. Sadly the game may have been abandoned, though we hope the situation changes some day, and that it escapes the #GTW vault!

Playing around with #DurexForth on the #Commodore64 this morning.

I wanted a #Forth command to place data at a memory location, similar to "READ ... DATA" in BASIC, so I came up with this little hack, the word "DATA":

place n values and a memory address on the stack and "DATA" will write these values to memory, starting at the specified memory address.

DurexForth code:

marker ---data---

: data ( n1..nx addr -- )
0 depth 3 - do
dup i +
rot swap c!
-1
+loop ;

quick test of the code resuts in "CBA" being displayed at the proper screen location

When I was a teenager, I broke my Commodore 64. I've written about this before, but yeah I was trying to mod it a little, I had no idea what I was doing, shorted something, and game over.

Since then I've been edging back towards that long ago point. A C64 full of bodge wires and weird crap. I really wanted it to be in the old breadbin case like the one I used to have, too.

Yesterday, @declan handed me a surplus case, with a dodgy keyboard - but I had a working keyboard, but it was missing some caps and was the wrong colour.

So I spent some time swapping keycaps!
