Two New Commodore 64 Games Released

Retro consoles aren't dead yet, with two brand new Commodore 64 cartridge games now available for purchase - Assembloids and Spike/MineStorm.

The Comodore 64 was not a console. It was a personal computer.

mirumu4088d ago

They did release a console version of it, the C64 GS, that only played cartridge games. It was only available for a short time in the PAL regions and sold poorly. It's certainly true that the vast majority of people had the computer.

I had a C64 GS myself at one point that I picked up second hand. Pulled the graphics chip out of it to fix another broken C64 computer. I kind of wish I'd kept it intact now as the GS is far more rare.

Shhhh...don't tell that to the youth who think they're hardcore when they didn't even live in the age of Commodore, Amiga and MSX.

LOL I learned DOS on the C64 and amiga 500. I was even developing my own game on the Comodore 64.

NexGen4088d ago

Pc-dos was on ibm pc's and ms-dos later became the standard. Neither of these dos versions was ever on a commodore.

I remember when I was in grade 2 and 3, my school had a bunch of Commodore 64s in the first ever "computer room". We use to use a drawing program called LOGO, where you had to type in the coordinates to get your Turtle to go in a certain direction. The kids that really knew what they were doing could change the background colour of the screen and they could even change the colour of the lines that they were drawing.....oh the memories

It's always amusing when they complain about thirty second loading times!

steve30x4087d ago

I cant understand the disagree. I never said PC dos I just said Dos. It helped me when I moved onto PC.

You have got your dates all wrong.

mcstorm1705d ago

Wow that was a poor story. The Amiga CD32 sold amazing in the UK but its issues in the USA stopped them from releasing it over there and was the file blow to Amiga that is only a part of the story like but the USA version of the A32 are like gold dust.

Phoenix761705d ago

I really regret not keeping hold of my Cd32 now. Despite the horrible pad controller, once you had a joystick and mouse connected, it was a great bit of kit. But by that time it faced much stiffer competition.

mcstorm1704d ago

I still have mineand get it out every now and again. For me its abit like the dreamcast ahead of its time with some amazing games but the company was not in a good shape when the console came out.

MrFurious1705d ago

Really poor article that does not render justice to that fantastic machine. The architecture description is limited to its MC68000 Proc, ahaha! This guy does not have any clue about this machine. Where are the co-pro, Lisa, Agnes, AGA,...? The Multi tasking OS ??? Fantastic sound???? Ridiculous article that does not render justice to a beautiful beast from the past.

The Snow White one is a special kind of bad.

TXIDarkAvenger2664d ago

A lot of the Sega Master System games look bland and weird

The_Laird2664d ago

Yeah, the early ones really are awful. Could have made a list of just them.
