20.10.2026 - 'Ms. Pac-Man Duo Mod' for Plus/4 and C64 released - free for download
Ms. Pac-Man Duo Mod is basically a conversion of the C64 porting of the Namco classic, as created by Steven Hayes and released from Atarisoft under the Atari Inc. license. But this is the point of the story in which developer Javier "javierglez" Gonzalez get into action: Why playing a two player match by alternating two single games? Waiting for your comrade's game to get stopped by losing a life, is boring.

An unexpected plot twist for Ms. Pac-Man!

10.10.2026 - 'Paradroid' for Plus/4 released - free for download
This faithful Plus/4 conversion of the C64 classic, originally created by Andrew Braybrook, which combines C and Assembly coding knowledge with the AI assistance, has been pushed to the max, in order to convert a cornerstone of the C64 library. Eight ships, each with 20 decks, to be cleaned out from the gone-mad droids, a fast logic game to relay between their circuits, a variegated ranking system to climb up, a fast paced action overall... all the features seem to be perfectly ported on the Plus/4. The real visible compromise (but ultimately, not excessively disruptive) is the format clash of the sprites – which must be multicolor – on the original hires background. Paradroid on Plus/4 surprisingly retains all the dynamism of the original on the C64, moving so many things on the screen with extreme fluidity.

Ko-Ko has been fascinated both by the simple, yet tricky, mechanics of the game's design, and by the adult oriented theme creating such a sordid atmosphere around it. hence, he managed an initial C64 version of it, before getting seized by the siren's songs of his ancient love: the Plus/4
