February 16th, 2017 
Carl Williams When Sid Meier finished the first Civilization I have to wonder, did he ever entertain the thought of porting it to the Commodore 64? No matter, as developer Fabian Hertel is doing just that, well close anyhow, with 8-Bit Civilizations. This is one of those head scratching releases that you think simply won’t work. The […]

Commodore 64 Full Motion Video
December 29th, 2016 Carl Williams Think the Commodore 64 cannot do Full Motion Video? Think again, it can even do a great rendition of the Knight Rider and Dallas intros.

Revenge of the License: Five NES Games That Missed the Point

The relentless plundering through the morass in search of something worth playing and finding the occasional surprise is always delightful, and why I keep coming back to this column over […]

Blap n Bash Brings New Angles to Classic Breakout Game for Commodore 64
January 17th, 2016 Carl Williams The Commodore 64 is the compute that just won’t die. Fans won’t let it and personally, I am thankful that they won’t. It is amazing that new games are constantly being released for this computer, over 30 years after it initially launched. Not crap either like many of the Nintendo Entertainment Homebrew that I don’t […]

1983 Game, Labyrinth of Crete, Fixed by Fans in 2015
July 15th, 2015 Carl Williams When you discuss game hacks most people will think of that one time that they played a hack of Super Mario Bros that had Sonic instead of Mario. Or they will think of gamers playing illegally obtained copies on a ton of different hardware (Nintendo games on Sony – which almost happened – for instance). […]
