New games for the C64: freshly baked for the bread box

If you seriously believe one day that you look at ten years younger than the same age, then you are old. Really old. I m so old that as a child I had a Dodo as a pet. Meanwhile, mother s nature threatens me with the extinction. Because the thoughts often endure only with Galgenhumor, I randomly plane as a glowing Atari-2600 and Commodore 64 worshiper in pubs please 8 bits! And keep me very funny and original. That raises the grave age something.

For more cheaper and better liver values, I come from it if I suffer from my C64 to revoke with International Soccer, The Great Giana Sisters or Katakis in Nostalgia. For a long time, I thought it was no horny form of time travel. Until I came into contact with the homebrew scene. She knew me a better by serving my self-brought.

Most recently, the Commodore 64 was my DELOREAN and the game SOULSS 2: The Armour of Gods of the Flux Compensator, published only at the beginning of September. However, I have previously recommended for the 50 titles of the vintages 2020/21, spoken with developers and openly open old-skeptic packages. Now I know why it makes so much pleasure to gamble new games on an antique. More on that later.

With the Protovision HomeComputer GmbH also offers a German company fresh meat for the ancient calculator, the fans lovingly call bread box . Customers can download so-called Disk Images at the Berliner company for small money (from 4.99 euros). For example, running in a PC program such as Vice (Veratile Commodore Emulator) or the Thec64 console published in 2019. The data can also be used on 5¼-duty floppy disks. Even if the homebrew market does not keep much stuck much, I am satisfied. We had the 10,000th order since 2013.

Surprisingly, our physical versions sell better than the downloads, and not just collectors, reveal IT product manager Tim Jakob Chen-Voos (42), the speaker of Protovision. The box and the gimmicks give a total experience. Unpack a box and enjoy the details, remains stronger in mind when just starting a game.

Players love gimmicks. The pack of the Shoot EM UPS Soul Force is, for example, a small spaceship kit (right next to the white module Source: PC Games According to Jakob Voos, approximately 30 appreciable games for the 64 kilobyte machine of Commodore appear each year. Ten are professionally expelled, the others only online and not infrequently free - as the best of the years 2020 and 2021 in my picture gallery Top 10 of the free games . HomeBrew works are created by love and passion. Really a lot of coal make neither publishers nor developers, even if they do theirs Babies fly for a full price. I think it makes sense to spice new C64 titles with modern comfort features, in my case, for example with the stealth mechanics and a continuous memory function.

The sales figures fluctuate between a double-digit number to a few hundred pieces, says Achim Volkers. The teacher from Bielefeld has rediscovered the calculator of his youth ten years ago. Since then he programs new games. For example the Isle of the Cursed Prophet, which has made it to my top 10. The statutory minimum wage will never be reached, he kids. I can invite my girlfriend to dinner again. The Bielefeld Achim Volkers currently works on a Jump & run called The Wild Wood. The first graphics are promising. Source: PC Games

Back to Protovision: The Shoot EM UPS Galencia and Soul Force has ever sold the publisher 700 times. The record holds Sam s Journey, a Jump & Run of 2017. My little thing believes that barely one of the 3,000 players has regretted the purchase. For me, the title designed by the German Chester Kollsche feels like a 10 out of 10. I hold him for one of the best C64 games of history, maybe even for the number 1. I impress me especially the variety of varied and the bright colorful look.

Incidentally, the C64 does not understand the C64 as retrore calculator, especially hard-core fans from the HomeBrew scene. For me he is not nostalgia, but a computer that has made it with fug and right into the modern age, says Jakob Voos. But not, because you can do everything just as well as with a PC, but some better. I as a nostalgic can only be understood. With a computer of 1982, however, at least the CDU party center is in terms of digitization for years ahead. Why homeowners (top left on the stairs) carry in action adventure the Isle of the cursed prophet black sado-maso masks? I still puzzle. It is not even straw on the floor.

A C64 does not make anger. I never have problems with drivers. He only needs a second to start. There is no surprises and whims, he works simply. Players today usually buy module versions. They have as good as no Loading times. Who uses a true Commodore with monitor or TV never annoys on lags. There is no input delay, no output lags and no background processes that lead to sudden jerking. That s why a CEVI is perfect for games that are perfect for games benefit to an accurate control. Typical examples are Jump & Runs and Shooters. So we set a more complex modern world that suffers from online updateritis, opposite a system that is so ridden from uncomplicating and speed in operation. For the Commodore 64 the measure of all things: Sam s Journey moves at the level of current PC games. For Jump & Run fan, it is a compulsory program in the truest sense of the word.

It exists say and write exactly a commercial game, which was developed specifically for this turbo card: Metal Dust, a Shoot em up from 2005. Otherwise, the C64 also browser, WiFi / Ethernet cards, layout programs, a four- Player interface and much more. The Shoot Em Up Metal Dust is the only commercial game that has been specifically developed for the C64 SuperCPU. Source: PC Games Currently, Protavision develops a gamepad. This controller, which is likely to surprise old readers now, not only has a huge, single red fire button, but over eight. Some new CEVI games support multiple buttons. Otherwise, that would be for the buttocks.

If children have lost these articles and want to maul them because of the graphic on the screenshots, I give interest: you should buy 250,000 C64 computers to get to the main memory of a current smartphone. That s why I expect something respect for the developers. Otherwise, it goes off to the silent stairs!
