Commodore 64: 8 Bit Legend
Author: Zeldin - written on 19.09.2012
Bah... seems I am not able to post something regularly... at least not even once a year :-(
I am currently writing on my second novel, and don't find time for C64 activities, which is really sad. Next year we'll have 25th anniversary of Cascade, and I really want to make some little celebration demo around this happening, but I am afraid, it will be a tough nut to find some free minutes for squeezing a bunch of pixels, code and music into a file.
Well, we'll see...
Anyway... today I finally felt to post something, not only for giving the front page look a deserved change, but to make sure you won't miss the following youtube vid, which is really impressive. A brilliant and contemporary commercial for our good old and beloved breadbox.
So here we go...

22.09.2026 - C64 game 'Tricky Tetris' released
'Tricky Tetris' is a Tetris game that plays tricks on you. It has everything you would expect from Tetris: falling pieces, levels, hold, line clearing, high scores and increasingly fast gameplay. But there is one important difference: the game occasionally plays tricks on you. Your controls may suddenly change, the entire playfield can flip upside down, rotate sideways or even appear as a diamond. Sometimes gravity simply becomes much faster. Survive the chaos and you are rewarded: all points are worth 5× while a prank is active. You can get the game as digital download for a bargain (name your own price) to support the developer.
