It now has all three tunes from the arcade game included in-game! You can hear Sean Connelly's fantastic version of 'Splash Wave' playing in the video below!

All routes from the arcade are in, along with appropriate horizon and colour changes.

Collisions are now switched on - bumping another vehicle slows you down and hitting a roadside object causes a roll!

Top status panel is working, along with *some* of the bottom panel.

Time for real course data!

Team "Pixelbrei Games" Announces "Timo's Castle" for Commodore 64, Partnering with Bitmap Soft for Physical Release

Zurich, April 8th 2024 – A recent announcement has sent waves of anticipation throughout the Commodore 64 community as a small team of enthusiasts, renowned in the C64 scene, revealed their latest project. Originally announced on April 1st, 2024, as a homage to a classic 40-year-old platformer, the project faced unexpected hurdles in aligning with the original IP.

In light of these obstacles and out of utmost respect for the original intellectual property, the team has made the decision to undergo significant revisions to ensure a successful release. The game, now titled "Timo's Castle," promises to deliver an unforgettable retro gaming experience while upholding ethical and legal standards.

The protagonist of "Timo's Castle" has undergone a transformation, embodying the essence of the original character while incorporating fresh elements. A sneak peek at the new hero's appearance can be viewed at https://timoscastle.com igniting excitement among fans and newcomers alike.

Despite these changes, the team remains committed to their initial vision, and thus, the target release date of May 1st, 2024, remains unchanged. Fans can mark their calendars with confidence, knowing that the wait for "Timo's Castle" will soon be over.

In a thrilling development, the team also proudly announces a partnership with Bitmap Soft to oversee the physical release of "Timo's Castle". Jamie Battison and Darren Doyle, owners of Bitmap Soft, expressed their enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "We are excited to be a part of this awesome project. There are great things to come!"

The physical release of "Timo's Castle" is slated to be available in Summer 2024, providing collectors and enthusiasts with an opportunity to experience the magic of retro gaming firsthand.

The maze is comprised of various hazards and tile types, each having a different effect on the metal sphere. There are 50 levels to solve.

Spheroid will run on any OCS/ECS/AGA Amiga with at least 1Mb of RAM and AmigaOS versions 1.2 up to 3.2. It can be run directly from floppy disk or installed to hard disk.

The game is free, but a donation is welcome which will be used to maintain and expand original hardware.

This looks cool, first one was a real pleasure to play.]]> Commodore Chat zapiy https://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/community/commodore-chat/tiny-quest-2-wip/ https://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/community/commodore-chat/amiga-game-spheroid/ Thu, 24 Feb 2022 22:14:27 +0000
My A1200 is now being upgraded with an 8Gb CF HD containing OS3.2. It has an Apollo 1230 card with 16mb and an Indivision AGA MK2. Old hardware being connected includes a CD-ROM drive via a Squirrel interface and an external Cumana DD. Plus my sampler and a few other bits and pieces.

Looking to get back into creating stuff, I've resurrected a simple puzzle game I was working on back in the 90's. The game engine is essentially complete and I designed one test level to make sure it's all working.  Now to write the music, design more levels and tinker and smooth out wrinkles!

The game is called 'Spheroid' and you move a metal sphere around a maze of tiles to reach the exit. The various tiles have different effects on your sphere. Only a simple game, but should (hopefully) be challenging and fun?!?!?

Below is the title screen and test level.

Designed on PAL, but it does some basic detection, so should run on NTSC and Drean. Only tested for those machine in WinVice though.

T.M.R approved an earlier build of this from his hospital bed, not long before he died. R.I.P my friend...

Grab from the Cosine website here...

Or from CSDb here...

Download contains the demo on a .d64, along with all the source (ACME format) and work files.

'The Lost Realms of Murkasada'



Acting as a companion to our main CRPG 'Crimson Twilight', this game is an action adventure/RPG-lite set in the same world and will take place over a series of 'episodes', released periodically in the build up to the release of Crimson Twilight.

These short episodes are designed to be both short, fun little adventures to be completed in one evening and an introduction of sorts to CRPG's to those people who may not necessarily have played CRPG style games before.

More information will be posted shortly as the first episode is nearly complete and will be released soon after!]]> Commodore Chat aNdy/AL/Cosine https://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/community/commodore-chat/lost-realms-of-murkasada/ https://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/community/commodore-chat/crimson-twilight-c64-crpg/ Tue, 16 Feb 2021 22:10:28 +0000
