I hate moving...
Author: Zeldin - written on 20.05.2009
...and yet I did.
Ok guys... long time no update, just because I was moving and the new apartment needed a lot of refurbishing in the last months. And don't think I am thru yet already. There is still a lot to do and I am slowly running out of money... bah...
So I am finally feeling like home here at my new address, which is actually my old address, because I lived here for nearly all my life except the last decade. And funny enough a lot of people still remembered this old address, which was mentioned in many of my old contact notes and demos. And to give you a glimpse idea of the view which I get from my new working place, I inserted this little photo.
Besides I had to get over the end of season 2 from my most beloved TV show called "Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles".
Yes, "Born to Run" just hit me in my face with a strong blow in the middle of April, leaving me in total lethargy, thinking about it for days. Keeping in mind that it could be the last episode at all, shed a certain light on the happenings in this (already legendary) season finale, which didn't make me feel much comfortable! And my nightmares came true. Last monday the worst case happened, when Fox dropped T:SCC out of their future schedule... curse on them... I already miss Cameron. Now how do I get over this? We'll see... ;-)
So bye for now...

01.10.2026 - C64 game 'RGB Invaders' released
'RGB Invaders' is an arcade shooter for C64 where colours are your weapons. Invaders in seven colours are coming down on your launcher. You have three keys: J fires a red ring, K a green one and L a blue one. A ring only destroys invaders of its own colour.Press keys together to mix different additional colours. Only one ring can be out at a time, so every shot counts. If a single invader reaches the bottom, the game is over.

30.09.2026 - Plus/4 game 'Stardew Pond' released - free for download
'Stardew Pond' is a small farming game for the Plus/4: a farm that has gone to seed, a village with a store and a blacksmith, three villagers to make friends with, and a mine with thirty floors of rock, ore and monsters, over one year. Stardew Pond is modelled on Stardew Valley by Eric Barone (ConcernedApe), released in 2016, but it is a much smaller game. A fan-made proof of concept - how much of such a game gets onto a 1984 home computer.

29.09.2026 - C64 game 'C64 Tennis' released - free for download
'C64 Tennis' is an unofficial fan port of Tennis, Nintendo's 1989 Game Boy game. It's not a remake: the original Game Boy game code was translated instruction by instruction into 6502 assembly. Ball physics, player movement, the CPU opponent and the scoring rules all behave like the original. The C64's larger screen shows the whole Game Boy stadium at once, pixel for pixel, with no scrolling: the court, the colourful crowd and Mario in the umpire's chair.
