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...

04.01.2026 - Building an Amiga On-Rails LightGun Shooter in AMOS!? - video by 'RobSmithDev'
In this video we're going to take a look at how Rob built his latest Christmas game, Santa's Present Drop 5, The House of The Dead Bunnies. What makes this game very unique is first that its a proper on-rails shooter game, second it supports a light gun, making it possibly one of the best Amiga light gun games, but it will also work on an unaccelerated Amiga as long as it has some extra RAM and suitable hard drive space. Most exciting of all, it's written in AMOS! Join in as Rob shows you how it was made!
