02.04.2026 - Plus/4 game 'Unison' released
'Unison' is a puzzle game by Haplo (maker of e.g. 'Carcer', 'Tenebra', and 'Binary Battle'), which was also recently released for C64 and is now available for Plus/4. In the game you take control of two entangled little guys traveling through a series of intricate levels. They move in unison; guide both to the finish flags without stepping in the opposite colours. Sometimes a well-placed crate can be a great help. Have an eye out for those pesky canon balls though. You can get the game as digital download for a bargain (name your own price) to support the developer.

21.03.2026 - C64 game 'SG Invaders MMXXVI' released
SG Invaders MMXXVI is yet another Invaders clone on first glance, but its game developer took a slightly different approach. Instead of chasing perfect accuracy, this version goes all-in on what the C64 does best - delivering something smoother, and more visually engaging than the original. This is achieved by leaning heavily into the machine’s strengths: Aggressive sprite multiplexing for fluid, arcade-beating motion, the legendary SID chip driving the soundscape and a Galencia-style parallax starfield for that extra layer of depth and motion. You can get the game as digital download for little money (name your own price) to support the developer.
