21.10.2026 - 'Sabre Wulf Remaster' for C64 released
This is a port/remaster of Sabre Wulf, Ultimate’s 1984 classic, reimagined for the C64. The objective for developer Sveinacious-G was to reproduce the original ZX Spectrum game as faithfully as possible while improving upon it where appropriate. All the original features, creatures, and gameplay mechanics are preserved, right down to the individual spawn rates of each monster and item. Sabre Wulf also received an official C64 release by Firebird in 1985. This new version draws on that release for its music and incorporates some of its character optimizations, adapted as necessary to accommodate a predominantly sprite-based implementation. You can get the 'Sabre Wulf Remaster' as digital download for a bargain (name your own price) to support the developer.

Fall wisely, and your past selves become your squadron. You can get the game as digital download for a decent price to support the developer.

Ms. Pac-Man Duo Mod is basically a conversion of the C64 porting of the Namco classic, as created by Steven Hayes and released from Atarisoft under the Atari Inc. license. But this is the point of the story in which developer Javier "javierglez" Gonzalez get into action: Why playing a two player match by alternating two single games? Waiting for your comrade's game to get stopped by losing a life, is boring. In Ms. Pac-Man Duo Mod – and its C64 counterpart – two yellow ribbon-adorned doteaters run in the maze both chased by, and chasing too, the ghosts, at the same time. An unexpected plot twist for Ms. Pac-Man!
