Paratroopers Fall Again! If that title rings a bell, that's no wonder - this game has been converted twice before. This time however, it's done right :-) Instead of listing what's wrong with the older conversions, here's a list of what you'll get in this version: correct controls, proper colors, decent sound, a nice intro - and of course fast-paced shooting action! The game has several options to choose from to keep the gameplay varied and interesting. Check it out and enjoy! |

| Endless Summer In ECM Mode | Posted by Luca on 2020-10-29 |
Cold comes with Father Winter, but you're wishing the summer never ends? The Extended Color Mode (ECM) of your prefer 264 machine it's coming to save you today.
Tropical ECMotion is little more than a single, very simple, effect, created by Luca/FIRE in order to test his personal ECM editor. The opportunity to participate in the CSDb's ECM Mode Demoeffect Competition prompted him to convert it to C64, hence now we have a twin release C64/C16 (the demo fits under 16kB), playing a new dedicated SID tune – wow, after just 14 years since the last one Luca did! – waiting for the forthcoming new batch of SIDcards. Of course, TLC's MConv V1.6 is here, providing TEDsound playback too, but his best contribution to this production it is undoubtedly the feature of the SIDwinder V01.23 packer that allows you to change the register base of the SID of your music.
Summer is far to come, but we, professional vacationers of idleness on the bECMh, are already getting ready. |

| New Game: Squirm 16 | Posted by Csabo on 2020-10-23 |
Tony Kelly wrote several C16 classics, such as Big Mac, Video Meanies and Squirm. The one - perhaps not too well known - fact that connects these is that their C64 counterparts are very different games! Instead of mere ports, each one is a similar but unique game of their own right.
Today, thanks to Gaia you can try out the C64 version of Squirm called Squirm 16! It's a cute action game, coded one year earlier than the one we already know. It's the type of game that doesn't have - or need - a complicated backstory: collect the eggs, avoid the bad guys, pick up the bonuses!
This weekend, you're officially invited: Let's Play Squirm 16! |

| Domino Deluxe! | Posted by Csabo on 2020-10-09 |
If you ever feel like playing Domino for a while, we hope you will give Domino Deluxe a chance. It's the deluxe version of the same game that was already released by TGMS and EVS. With the included NTSC fix, the game will work on all 264 machines!
("All 264 machines? What about the Commodore 16?" you may ask... Well, it works on that too! "Oh, so since it's 16K, we're missing out on 64K machines?" Nope! "How can that be?" Well, if you're indeed asking this question, read the author's comments to find out.)
Enjoy! |
