14.03.2026 - Plus/4 game 'Randoom' released - free for download
In 'Randoom', a port of a C64 game with the same name from 2021, you play through 31 stages by catching the squares in the correct order. Sounds simple, but the fun of the game is the frantic gameplay due to the chaotic nature of the squares' movement. The game is very polished and has all the bells and whistles one could ask for.

14.03.2026 - C64 game 'Bubble Buddies' released
'Bubble Buddies' is a reimagination of Bubble Bobble, arguably on of the best C64 games ever. With 100 brand new levels designed for maximum happiness, Bubble Buddies emphasizes unique level design with a wider range of gameplay and a slightly easier playthrough with a smooth difficulty curve. All graphics have been polished to look their absolute best within the narrow constraints of the c64. Most of the sprites are made by the talented Davide Bottino for the 2025 release of Bubble Bobble C64 Remastered. This is not a rewrite, but a hack of the original game. Only the content has been changed, along with minor bug fixes. You can get the game as digital download for little money (name your own price) to support the developer.

12.03.2026 - Video: Sonic on the Amiga? - Palette Panic! #1 (Dev Log Mar '26)
In this video RetroRic is helping ‪reassembler68k‬ with graphics for his Amiga Sonic project, where the goal for this build is to fit the background layer into a single 16-colour palette on the Amiga 1200. We take the original Green Hill Zone background from Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Mega Drive, analyse the colours it uses across the Mega Drive palettes, and then crunch those 20 background colours down to 16 while keeping the scene looking right. Along the way RetroRic explains how the Mega Drive palette works, which colours are locked, how to decide what can be removed, and how to fix the tiles after the palette changes so the background still looks correct.

11.03.2026 - C64 game 'Tony do it!' released
'Tony Do It!' is a small yet highly enjoyable puzzle game inspired by the classic Sokoban. Your objective is simple: place all the crates onto the spots marked with crosses. However, the mechanics offer an interesting twist - you can not only push the crates but also pull them by pressing the Fire button, adding new tactical possibilities. The levels feature additional challenges. Scorpions and wandering natives roam the chambers. They won’t kill you, but direct contact will drain your remaining time more quickly, forcing you to think and act fast. You can get the game as digital download for a bargain (name your own price) to support the developer.
