New Cover Artwork Found - 2009-02-22
Keresd A GyémántotLacus got his hands on a rare treasure, found on Vatera (the Hungarian eBay). He's now the only scene member own a copy of Keresd A Gyémántot (Find The Diamond), a commercial game from Hungary. Luckily, we can all share the cover scan and the TAP image which he submitted to our database. A few words about the game: it's a less than excellent Boulderdash clone. The game play unfortunately has some major issues: the character cannot hold boulders on its head, and the level does not restart after you die. This causes even the first level to be difficult to complete. In other news, I found a ZIP file from Lacus, which contained the PRG file for Pattinka, among others. These will be uploaded in the coming days. Big thanks for this scan, and be sure to keep your eye on those long lost programs popping up on auction sites!


BitGlamour! - 2009-02-21
BitGlamourSurprise! A new demo called BitGlamour has popped up unexpectedly through a message on our forum. It's a welcome surprise to be sure. The intro features four smooth scrollers and all the nearly 121 colors of our beloved machine. It runs on a C16 and it's even (gasp!) NTSC compatible. To quote the author:
This demo (intro) represents my personal tribute to the memory of Commodore 16. It has been developed in Assembler many years ago and required a whole week of intense work and dedication. I hope it will be appreciated...
Well, it's simple, it's pretty, I like it! :-)


Monarchy Gets Two New Members - 2009-02-19
In demoscene news, we're happy to report that two new members have joined Monarchy. Elkmoose (AKA TMB) who hails from Vienna is an artist and Frog (AKA ex-BSS/ex-GOTU) from Hungary will be doing code and some graphics as well. We've added photos of the guys so be sure to check out the Faces of the Scene gallery. This fresh demogroup has been recently getting active under Csio's leadership, and we can only hope that they are busy putting together some quality productions for the Commodore Plus/4 that will amaze us all. Go MHY!


New Adventures - 2009-02-18
Paul's 4K AdventureTwo new adventure games by Dunric have been added today: Vampyre Cross and Paul's 4K Adventure. They are BASIC games, converted from their C64 counterparts and made to work on the Plus/4. Vampyre Cross has some RPG elements while the 4K one is a traditional adventure.

Also over at commodore16.com new pictures from the January 2009 Commodore Computer Club meeting are up. Among others, indi, Chris and Patrick were there. Some captions would be nice, but as they say more info is coming soon. Still worth checking out!


Map That Booty - 2009-02-12
BootySay hello to Atisoft, our newest member, who sent us a new entry for our maps collection. It's for the old C16 classic, Booty. In the game you control Jim the Cabin Boy, your task is to collect all the booty from the ship's 20 holds. Each room has 3 doors leading to another location, this is where the maps comes in handy. After collecting 160 pieces of treasure, you have 45 seconds to locate a bronze key. We haven't been able to find it so far though!

This could be one of the games that bring back those fond memories of the good old days. If the words "slow paced" come to your mind when you think of Booty, perhaps you should check out the newly added uber-cheat that actually speeds up the player! Thanks to Attila for this map, enjoy!


Club Info 109 Hits The Streets - 2009-02-09

(a game converter from the PET by Erich) and Hardcopyroutine (which -- as the name suggests -- prints pictures). Check it out!
