Blackjack aka Twenty-One!
Posted by Csabo on 2014-12-20
Blackjack aka Twenty-OneIt's been announced on the forums before, and now it's actually here: check out Data-Land's new game called Blackjack aka Twenty-One.

It's a dual-platform release (the disk contains the C64 and Plus4 versions). At the heart of it all, it's the well known card game, but with tons of flair and polish. Highly playable, nice graphics and more:
  • Includes INSURANCE, SPLIT, DOUBLE DOWN, SURRENDER, FIVE CARD CHARLIE and TRIPLE SEVEN.
  • One or two player mode, as well as demo mode
  • Features a "GAME ASSISTANT" (with joystick support) for easy handling
  • Lots of customizable settings and special effects
  • Documentation (in German) included
So, fire up the old Commodore and give this one a whirl!

Are You Ready To Xplode?
Posted by Luca on 2014-12-09
Xplode ManEXpect the eXplosive uneXpectable!
Our little scene still has some gaps in the game genres to fill up. One of those kind of games surely is represented by the 'Bomberman' fashioned games, and we all know attempts to do something on that way have been performed with very promising results in alpha phase (video 1, video 2), attempts which unfortunately did not reach a well deserved final release...

And just before the end of the year, who comes to save the day for the Bomberman fans? Yes, Assassins, mastering C16/Plus4 games zone, are now back, and Skoro is active again on the keys, equipped, as tradition wants, with the only Plus/4 assembler monitor to show you what the dieharder coders can do, even nowadays in the crossassemblers era!
Skoro's Xplode Man wins the prize for the first Plus/4 Bomberman, with 24 screens splitted in 4 zones to clean out and differently fast foes to set alight strategically placing your bombs. Level codes and vanity board will keep your interest high for a lot of time, we all shall meet here at Hall of Fame for sure! The game's charming graphics and overall design are another success by KiCHY, and the pretty sweet results are undeniably on screen. You just know who's missing to be named in order to regroup the terrible trio...yes, it's Csabo, who put in nice SFX and composed two of the most joyous tunes we heard ever on Plus/4, absolutely matching the gameplay.

The rhythm of play is targeted to a slow paced strategic setting, but we challenge all of you in keeping calm down when a faster foe approaches towards you thru the bricked walls and you've temporarily run out of bombs. So, let's see how you'll play your cards on the Xplode Man fields of play, challenge is now officially open. Good one, Skoro!

Posted by Csabo on 2014-12-02
Club Info 136Erich/Unlimited from Germany ushers us into December with the latest issue of Club Info. The 4th and final issue of this year, issue 136 is here for your viewing pleasure with a brand-new short intro. The magazine's format should be well-known to regular visitors: two disk-sides filled with German language articles, and new/recently released software.

If you're ready get into the Christmas mood this early, be sure to check out Christmas 2014: a (mostly) cute and long Petscii-Movie converted by Erich. There's also a new German utility included called Postgebuehren 2015, which contains the current postal charges in Germany. Last but not least, if you want to fire up Page-Setter on the good old Commodore Plus/4, there are hardware plans and the solution for Total Eclipse on the disk as well.

Cheers to Erich for this issue! Check it out and enjoy!
