 You've seen the trailer, you watched the review, and after a long, long road, the game is here. Introducing Death Sector, a sci-fi themed arcade puzzler for your Commodore Plus/4 or 64K expanded C16/C116.
Your spaceship miraculously survives a crash during warp speed, and you find yourself in an unknown sector with no signs of life. Can you pilot through this desolate place, uncover its mysteries, and perhaps find a way back to safety?
Death Sector offers unique challenges and atmospheric, story-focused gameplay. Enjoy! |

| | HVTC Update September 2025 | | Posted by Luca on 2025-09-08 |
So much time had to pass, but now it's time for an update: the High Voltage TED Collection gets updated today!
We had to add 44 new song files. Most of them are from some brand new releases, with Csabo's production on top of all, but there are some footprints on the ground indicating the presence of some golden era gems. Again, we had to change a ton of files, due to some little fixes, and most of all to have "reactive" files, i.e. files needing keys to start playing: in order to make'em play even on straight emulations with no keyboard input involved, let's force'em to play at the beginning anyway.
Hey but... With this new update, we broke the thousand files! Yes, that's for real, this last pack boasts 1035 single files! happy thousand to us! All the changes have been reported in the whatsnew.txt available.
Don't forget to completely delete the whole previous collection (that's the way to do at any new update!), then download/unzip the new one!
This is the straight link to the ZIP file. |

 The online JavaScript version of YAPE (YAPE/SDL) has just been updated. There are several improvements in this version, most notably G64 support. This means that if you were so inclined, you can play games such as the recently recovered Bard's Tale, right from your browser. Enjoy! |

| | The Librarian 3! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-08-21 |
 So soon after the second part, another welcome surprise: RoePipi is back with The Librarian 3! The game series is now a trilogy, and the third chapter takes an unexpected dark turn. It's night time, and Zombies are attacking your little sanctuary of books, ready to devour the written word.
That's right, the game is a third-person flip-screen shooter! And what a game it is: I had the pleasure and privilege of testing it before release, and I can only try to relay the huge amount of fun I had with it. The sense of discovery, watching the creativity on display, enjoying the cleverly and beautifully rendered PETSCII graphics... Well, it's a RoePipi game, so you know what you're getting into, but it gets a very enthusiastic thumbs-up from me, be sure to try it out! The only complaint: it's too short :-) |

| | Svellas! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-08-20 |
 Inufuto's new game, Svellas is here. If you've been faithfully refreshing his page for the past 10 days, you had to wait for 54(!) other 8-bit systems to go by before the Commodore 16 showed up. This is certainly impressive. Can you even name 54 different systems?
As for the game, it's been said that if you've seen one of his games, you've seen them all, and this one is no exception. It's very familiar, we've seen these graphics, we've heard this music, and we've certainly seen very similar gameplay. Perhaps that's a good thing! Nevertheless, it's well done for what it is; therefore it's worth a try.
Collect all the stars on each level to progress. The twist this time is that you can use "lifts" to move around between different sections of the maze. Avoid the ghosts! Enjoy! |

| | Bard's Tale Archived! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-08-03 |
Today, we put a period at the end of a very long story. We were talking about missing this release as far back as 2002, and many times after that.
The good news: thanks to Csory and siz, we now have a working version of Bard's Tale! It is a pair of D64 and G64 images, due to the B side of the disk having deliberate errors as a means of copy protection.
Only one thing left to do: load up the game and save Skara Brae! |

| | The Librarian 2! | | Posted by Csabo on 2025-07-31 |
 Closing out this month, RoePipi is back with an unexpected but most welcome surprise: The Librarian 2! It's a sequel to 2020's popular The Librarian.
She's back; our experienced librarian is still fulfilling the requests of visiting readers by retrieving topic-appropriate books from the shelves. Supporting this work is a lightning-fast computer that offers three tips for each question, pointing to the most likely subject area. There's also a small booklet (a condensed version of the Universal Decimal Classification) listing all major topics in English, in neat order.
The librarian has a sharp eye for the job: the program flashes the solution that seems correct. Then it's just a matter of hurrying over to the shelves to fetch a book on the requested topic - which, if all goes well, the reader gratefully accepts and rushes off. Next, please!
If you enjoy detailed PETSCII graphics and unique gameplay, The Librarian 2 is for you! |
