|  PETSCII Lemmings! | | Posted by Csabo on 2021-10-27 |
 What a pleasant surprise for Plus/4 fans. This year already saw the return of an old-school scene member, TRP, and now, after a mere 32 year hiatus, Ko-Ko is back!
He ported a sensational Lemmings clone to Plus/4: PETSCII LEMMINGS. Originally developed by Jim Orlando for TOJam2021 - for very positive feedback, we can now all enjoy it as well. Get ready for some fun Lemmings-controlling action on 18 levels! |

| | Freescapades In The 3rd Dimension | | Posted by Luca on 2021-10-14 |
 Creating a game with the Plus/4 version of 3D Construction Kit has always been difficult due to the various bugs sadly diffused into the whole suite. Freescaped brings together four Freescape games from C64, just to see how the Plus/4 3DCK compiler behaves if some code is added to overcome the eventual problems raising up. Once the KIT-DATA of a certain game has been candidated to be compiled, the coding fight against all the strange flaws begins, then it's time to make it NTSC compatible, to convert the color palette room by room, to modify the bitmap border in order to handle a 2nd fixed color's limitations, to convert eventual ingame music both on SID and FRQ converter, and possible any others.
The four chosen games: the original 3D Construction Kit Demogame distributed with the original kit and released as alone runnable game on Plus/4, now with the right border graphics and labels; "A Chance In Hell" by Steven Flanagan, a very busy game for the Freescape engine mainly designed for the emulation, with music by Richard Bayliss; "Cyborg 2900" by Marcel Smuz, with its long and elaborate prologue in a cinematic fashion; "Escape From Zaphod" created by by Richard Bayliss (again).
Freescaped by Luca/FIRE: four easy games to test 3D Construction Kit Plus/4. With heartfelt thanks to www.3dconstructionkit.co.uk by Stuart Wilson, the homepage whose work of preserving these and other games will never be recognized as much as it should. |

| | Candy Dots! | | Posted by Csabo on 2021-10-01 |
 Candy Dots - a candy sorting puzzle game - has just been released for the Commodore Plus/4. To clear each level, you must sort the candies in the test tubes, so that all candies with the same color are in the same tube. You can freely move ("pour") candies from tube to tube, but only the topmost ones.
Play in three modes:
- "Classic" has 100 increasingly harder levels to play.
- "Random" allows for infinite play, with select-able difficulty.
- "Time Trial" presents a challenge with added scoring.
Check it out and enjoy! |
