Flood What? It!
Posted by Csabo on 2014-04-30
FloodItIf you're going to flood something, let that be the playing field in this game. Okay, enough of the "witty" banter, Csabo has just released another small "toy" game (somewhat similar to 2048) called FloodIt. If you enjoy puzzles and logical games, this might provide you with a nice distraction. The game has a tournament mode, which contains 16 hand-picked levels and is meant for players to compete in our Hall Of Fame. It also features a random level mode for virtually unlimited variety. Check it out and enjoy!

A.R.C.O.S. In Steroids
Posted by Luca on 2014-04-29
A.R.C.O.S. C16Do you remember about the little Spanish knockout game A.R.C.O.S. C16 developed by Baron Ashler and sweetly released in .PRG and .TAP formats under the Kabuto Factory label?

Even though being a pretty nice and original game, it was a BASIC written piece of code, and this unfortunately meant it would undergo a terrible slowness overall, which definitely affects the game's playablility. Baron Ashler has declared that he tried to compile the code with unfruitful results. That's why we've asked for an hero to save the day!

And an hero has come, at last! If the earlier version has been released in Xmas, the new one can't have a release day better than Easter! Easy to guess him, SVS is the Man who eats beef'n'compilers since years. With his help, it has been possible to compile A.R.C.O.S. C16 into a better playbale 32K version, again available as .TAP and .PRG in the same page! Go try the new one!

2048
Posted by Csabo on 2014-04-06
2048The "Flappy Bird" mania has skipped our platform, but if anyone is still interested in playing 2048, they now can! (Or, if you've never heard of it before, you might want to give it a try as well.) A simple implementation, no fancy colors or music, in all PETSCII glory. Let the hunt for the high scores begin!

What Is Essential Is Invisible To The Eye
Posted by Luca on 2014-04-01
Vadász És NyúlBecause of a certain lack of solid news, you can argue there's a sort of short lapse of snoozing around here... Well, this little reminder as news is just to say: nothing wronger than thinking that!

Even with no manifest symptoms, all the guys who periodically keep this site fresh adding more and more stuff and infos into it, are under heavy working day by day, and so many new entries have been (and will be!) added to our beloved archive. Listing all of them is almost impossible, also because several of these fresh entries have been included by synergistic job during more than a single day of duty. Let's try to cite some of them!

Csabo has recently added some precious scans and tapes of very rare Hungarian games: Vadász És Nyúl and Flipper, and his very hard work about adding new download links in any single entry (yes, in any single entry, you've read it!) continues with no pause.
Luca keeps up to include infos about tons of obscure Italian rereleases in the archive, the old game hacking labels seem to continuously appear from nowhere: Master's Software House collections, the never seen before Movie Box, Computer Set, Go Games, Byte Games, C16/MSX, all of those and many others daily get new infos, covers, pubs in .PDF and .JPG formats. Plus, dozens of new .PRG and .TAP files have been added about, 'cause he's keeping to buy and dump several tapes in order to preserve'em forever (just to cite the very last ones: C16/MSX 5, Pott-it / Shoot-it, Tennis (Movie Box), Calcio, Interceptor (Soft)). He's also entering all the fantastic contributions coming from all our friends, especially C16 Chris...
...And several German magazines just coming from C16 Chris have been added too (we're talking of about a Gb of those!). Due of this big supply of virtual paper stuff, Rüdiger is right now affording a majestic work on that ones: entering obscure magazines issues and all the related entries (Commodore Welt anyone? :) ), linking any single published type-in or reviewed software, including any single credit per entry and much more. And when the searching succeeds, .PRGs and .D64s of some published programs got added too.
Do I also have to cite all the uncited fixing and improving that hourly occur around here? Endings, Hall of Fame, new cheats, new stuff's fixes... Oh well, that's routine in the very end ;)

We strongly suggest to keep watching to the New Stuff page here, what is essential is invisible to the eye!
