Commodore 64 Game Age of Heroes Sees Release

Carl Williams writes, "The good old Commodore 64, the gaming computer that fans love too much to let die. There are a few hardcore fans that are creating new adventures for other fans of the C64. For instance, Age of Heroes is one of the latest releases, one that I first discovered late last year. Fans of 2D fantasy action games would do well to pick this one up."

Hell yeah! This is hardcore. I assume it works on the C64 mini?

triverse1836d ago

Yes, they include a version for the C64 Mini when you purchase it via the Itch.io link (they also provide many other versions as well). They really did great on supporting current options to play their game.

This game just shows why I was never a Commodore 64 fan, since most devs are just too lazy to use it's power properly and go for the low resolution on the C64 making games look bloky as hell.

triverse1835d ago

It is true a lot of developers go for the lowest possible resolution, whether due to porting necessity or something else, but in the right hands, as we can see here and in Sam's Journey (another C64 newer release) there is a lot of power under the hood that is often untapped.

that one as very good graphics, it's a pity the shoppy scroll, but even them it's much better then this one.

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator3d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.

Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.

Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.

I am pretty sure there are documentaries (Youtube) around it which highlights these points. I had Sega Mega drive and NES growing up but that's about it. I didn't even know there was a war going on between these companies but I do remember thinking why I can't play Sonic cartridge on Nintendo or Mario on Sega :D

FinalFantasyFanatic4d ago

I had the Genesis and the Saturn, also had the SNES and 64, I never got a Dreamcast for some reason, but I never saw one in the stores either.
