09.10.2022 - 'H.E.R.O.' for the VIC-20 released and free for download
Back in 1984, Activision released the game H.E.R.O. by John van Ryzin for the Atari 2600. Later it was ported to several 8-Bit systems. But it took until In February 2022, until someone started porting it to the VIC-20. And it was managed to achieve the task. Now the game is available and ready to be played on a 32 KB expanded VIC-20. And the best thing: You can get it as digital download for free.

05.10.2022 - Amiga mini game 'None Of Us' released
'None Of Us' is just a mini game for testing visuals and gameplay (amongst other things)! The essence of the test is to obscure the opponents from the players viewpoint with light/shadow. Ok, we all see that in modern platforms, but not under AMIGA - AMOS Pro. Requirements: Amiga with ECS chip, 2MB Chipram and a fast CPU. You can get the game as digital download for a bargain (name your own price).

03.10.2022 - Teaser 3 for WIP C64 game 'Awesome Slam Siblings' - a Smash Bros tribute
Here is another work in progress video from Awesome Slam Siblings, a port of the party game Super Smash Brothers. This time we see a playable preview of two of the characters in Awesome Slam Siblings. This build tries to detect an REU - if one is found it uses it to skip some of the optimisations that are otherwise necessary. The final game will probably add one or two REU-only levels, as they can be more complex in design - but generally the game will be targeted to run without REU. If the screen flickers for a second when starting up, that shows the REU is being used. The game is 2 player only, no AI, and currently you cannot win the game - it just goes on forever with endless lives.
