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...

20.06.2026 - 'Games That Weren't 64' (GTW64) - Three Big Commodore 64 recoveries
What a lovely surprise for the weekend: GTW64 is very pleased to add not one, but three significant C64 recoveries to the archives thanks to former Beam Software developer Tony Smales. First up is Arcade Wizzard, a long-lost U.S. Gold pinball game that GTW64 has been trying to solve for over 22 years. Thanks to Tony, we can finally confirm its Beam Software origins and present a playable prototype. Joining it is an Australian prototype of Aussie Games, containing a number of interesting differences from the released editions, plus Tony’s own unreleased game Void – a complete commercial title that sadly fell victim to publishing changes before release.
