New NES Game Footage Released for Sam’s Journey
March 25th, 2020 
Carl Williams New action platform titles are few and far between. Great ones are even harder to find. There simply are not a lot of these being made anymore. Most independent homebrew developers fall back on easier genres such as scrolling shooters, First-Person (FPS) games, or mashups of various genres. Knights of Bytes have already tackled the […]

Sam’s Journey Tells Mario to put up or Shut Up on Commodore 64, Nintendo Silent
April 11th, 2015 Carl Williams Super Mario Brothers never made it to the Commodore 64, though Hudson Soft did license the series for IBM PC computers. That might be why Nintendo stopped allowing their games onto other platforms, till the CD-i debacle with Zelda and Mario.

Atari 7800 Gets New Action Game Rikki & Vikki, Should Not Exist
January 2nd, 2019 Carl Williams You don’t see the Atari 7800 come up in conversation all that often when discussing independent homebrew games. There simply are not a ton of them being developed, certainly less than there are for the Commodore 64 (can any platform touch that level of popularity though?).

5 Homebrew Titles that Push Retro Hardware
December 6th, 2015 Carl Williams While in today’s gaming world it is nothing to see super detailed, hyper animated characters and fluid gameplay. Um, well most of those anyhow.

5 Indie Titles Prove 2D Still Lives
November 30th, 2015 Carl Williams 2D is a rarer and rarer occurrence, especially on consoles. That is saddening for a retro gaming fan like myself as I grew up playing the greats. Super Mario Bros 1/2 (site link)/3 (site link)/World/Land, Mega Man series, Castlevania (site link) etc. Even the obscure ones like Shockman (Turbo Grafx-16), Popful Mail (Sega CD), even […]

Amazing Action Platform Title, Majesty of Sprites, Comes to the Commodore Plus/4
August 20th, 2015 Carl Williams When you think of gaming in the style of Super Mario Brothers or Sonic the Hedgehog you probably would never see the Commodore Plus/4 make your list of platforms.
