Another later in life C64 game which seems to have fallen by the wayside in the shape of a modernized Galaga clone. It seems that this particular preview is a little broken, as the background is white and pretty garish. … Continue reading

Another later in life C64 game which seems to have fallen by the wayside in the shape of a modernized Galaga clone. It seems that this particular preview is a little broken, as the background is white and pretty garish. … Continue reading
Controlling what looks like a sprite from one of Alf Yngve’s Cyforce game, this is another static preview with some pretty backdrops and no real substance. There are some sprite waves chucked in, but nothing much else at this stage. … Continue reading
Our next entry is for a title that unfortunately had a successful Kickstarter campaign, but seems to have been abandoned without any further updates from the developer since 2019. A number of updates were made on the Kickstarter page, but … Continue reading
The game hasn’t got no name, but neither does it have much in the way of things to do at this stage either. What we have here is a single static screen with a diver character – who must first … Continue reading
An intriguing title by Mike Dailly, who is better known as the creator of Blood Money and Menace for Psygnosis… and then becomming one of the big names behind Lemmings. This is a title which Mike recently released to the … Continue reading
After seeing the awesome Xenon 2 on the Amiga/ST, Mike Dailly wondered to himself whether he could get a similiar parallax effect, with instead of a looped pattern as a parallax layer…. have a separate bitmap as the parallaxed layer. … Continue reading
A short entry for a V1 edition of a released game that many of us enjoyed growing up. Tucked away on a work disk of Mat Sneap, was this early build of Garfield that shows some of the game with … Continue reading
Ok ok, this may not be a proper C64 game planned for big time release by a big C64 company, but it must be taken seriously at least until the creators clear up its intentions about this game. The game … Continue reading
Gem Quest was a game from Hex (aka Cory) of Pixel Developments – A demo group from UK’s very own Compunet. Some of their demos got featured in ZZap!64 magazine (e.g. Hunter Killer). Unfortunately, due to further studies, the game … Continue reading
More simple space shooting now with Genocide – a sideways scrolling blaster over a cool starfield effect. It’s a bit like Roy Fielding’s Frantic, but with not much going on at this stage. There are some attack waves, but no … Continue reading
Not entirely sure what Geotrope was to be just yet, but the demo that was released suggests a Japanese Anime themed game. And an impressive little demo too. Nothing of the game was included though, but some clues were given … Continue reading
A puzzler game with our next entry which existed first as a splash screen and some graphics. The game involves you controlling a virus and having to kill a mainframe using some sort of "VOS" (Virus Operating System) from the … Continue reading
What is it with previews which seem to have spent all the time and effort on graphics and titles, but no actual game to play with it too? Get Ready is another such title where it seems a lot of … Continue reading
Thanks to Jazzcat for the heads up about this game, which was shown recently on the developer’s website. The game was a RPG title, with a large world with 16 different countries, 32 dungeons, four different breeds, elaborate, personal character … Continue reading
A game promoted heavily in Denmark, a blatant Rampage clone that sadly would never get a proper release. Is it because Activision stepped in and stopped them, or did Kele Line go under before they could get the game out? … Continue reading
Before the classic times of Slicks and then Micro Machines, came games like Go Kart!, with some simple tracks and playability. Go Kart is quite primitive when compared with Slicks, and is certainly not as slick as Slicks. Unfortunatly the … Continue reading
Many moons ago as the C64 was resurging through fanzines, Godflesh was announced to the world as a new beat-em-up in production by First Blood Entertainment in 1996. Previously doing a few other games, this sounded particularly exciting. Sadly nothing … Continue reading
A hugely popular game from the Bitmap Bros on the Amiga and other 16-bit systems done way back in around 1991. Famous not only for the game itself, but for the music score for the game. In the year 2000, … Continue reading
A popular game on the Amiga in its early days, the C64 saw a conversion preview released of the game. I don’t know much about the game itself, apart from its recievement on the Amiga, and it mean’t to be … Continue reading
Ah… I remember going up to London one day and my dad buying me a copy of Your Commodore on the train journey up to keep me quiet. It happened to be the last ever issue as it happened, and … Continue reading
