17.03.2023 - 'Games That Weren't 64' (GTW64) - ‘La Venganza del Toro’ C64 recovery
A new recovery at GTW64 - an unfinished and early bullfighting game for the C64 called ‘La Venganza del Toro’. Contributor Retroboy got in touch in early March after buying a collection of C64 tapes from Spain. One of them contained several files, and the most complete of all was an 18 block file called 'La Venganza del Toro'. Mostly BASIC code with some machine code routines, there is no sound, no score, credits or any details - so it seems to be a work in progress, or potentially just a title that was being done for fun. Still you can simply move the bull around on the screen and run into five standing toreros, who then appear in the sky.
