27.08.2023 - Update of WIP Amiga game 'Settle the World' (270823) released
Settle the World is a turn-based building and trading game with a focus on local multiplayer (up to four players on one Amiga computer), which you can download for free. In this so called 'The -Farm-Update' lays the technical foundations for the future development of the game. For this purpose, a large part of the programme code was rewritten, which unfortunately took several months. Pioneers can now build farms after the citizens of your cities have reached the worker class for the first time. Farms are needed later in the game to supply the aristocrat class with meat and wine.

22.08.2023 - Plus/4 port of 'Stunt Car Racer' released - free for download
'Stunt Car Racer' for Commodore Plus/4 was adapted by cobbpg, title screen TEDified by Unreal. This is a port of the C64 version, and the manual for the original game mostly applies here as well. The gameplay works exactly the same way as the original, but the menu has been slightly changed: So there's a new manage menu that houses all the non-racing actions, notably Hall of Fame, Load/Save and Restart. Furthermore there are some altered game save mechanisms.
