Prototype – Commodore 65 Found and Now on Auction Block
February 12th, 2015 Carl Williams Ah, Commodore, the company that brought us such great and venerable computers like the 64/128 and the Amiga. These computers really defined computer gaming in the 80’s for a lot of fans that preferred keyboards to joysticks (though both were offered). As most computer users of the old days know, there were attachments for these […]

Battletanx Blows Up Nintendo 64 – December 31st, 1998 – Today in Video Game History
December 31st, 2014 Carl Williams Battletanx on the Nintendo 64 did not have set sales records. The 3DO Company game certainly did open, even if ever so briefly, a new genre of gaming.

New Game: X-Force Reminds Gamers that the Commodore 64 Can Rock Scrolling Shooters
November 8th, 2014 Carl Williams Side scrolling shooters. A genre that used to rule the roost in gaming, no matter what platform you gamed on, there was probably more than a handful of side scrolling shooters (unless it was a 3DO, CD-i or Playdia that is).

Bandit Gaming: Donkey Kong Jr Ported to the Commodore 64
November 8th, 2014 Carl Williams That old adage, what is old is new again, is certainly true in the homebrew scene as old gaming properties are constantly seeing new light on platforms they may have missed from official channels.

October 20th, 2014 Carl Williams Over the years we have seen just about every console released receive a portable edition (most have been stupidly expensive).
