01.12.2023 - C64 game 'Dunjon Battler' released - free for download
This little dungeon crawler game was initially made in 2011, started as just a room where waves of monsters would come at you. Now the developer extended the game with a flick-screen map. Simple graphics and basic "find key, open door" game-play, but I think it has some charm. Two different dungeons to play. Both with a final boss. A secret ending if you beat both in a row and do something special at the end. Optionally run-stop can switch to the "2nd quest" on the title screen.

25.11.2023 - From Death's doorstep to alive again: I really love this Field Found Amiga 500 - video from 'Adrian's Digital Basement'
We have the final installment in the field found Amiga 500 saga. When Adrian first unboxed this computer, he had my doubts that this machine would ever work again.

So in this part, the machine finally gets the TLC is deserves and is all back together.
