|  Italian Adventures From ZX Spectrum: Bronx | | Posted by Luca on 2024-04-24 |
 A very appreciated present from our friends at Ready64, the Commodore 64 games repository mainly dedicated to unearthing and preserving Italian productions, both as software and as paper publications.
Bronx is a text adventure for ZX Spectrum originally made by Gian Battista Aicardi and published in January 1988, more precisely in Load'n Run magazine issue 45. Today Bronx arrives on Commodore 64 too – as Bronx64 – thanks to the faithful conversion made by Carmine Migliaccio also known as TSM, and it can be played both in the original Italian language and translated into English. It features hires, slightly animated, bitmap graphics, and 80-column charset.
The author has promised more of these releases in the future, so let's wait for further adventures from Carmine! |

| | New Covers from Crown | | Posted by Csabo on 2024-04-11 |
   Wow, it has been a while: the last time we posted a similar news item was back in 2007. Crown is back, expanding the cover scan collection at Plus/4 World. A few recent highlights: Compute Mit Sonderheft SA 2/88, Emésztőrendszer, Lawn Tennis, and many more.
In case you haven't heard, members can now keep track of their collection right here on the site. So look through those disks and cassettes, maybe you'll find something that we're missing! |

| | AntiAir! | | Posted by Csabo on 2024-04-07 |
 Inufuto has been hard at work once again. (For anyone not familiar with him, he's a prolific Japanese developer who writes games using his own C compiler and Assember for many platforms.) His new game is called "AntiAir", and since March 20th, his webpage has been filling up with system after system... And finally, system number #48 on his list is the Commodore 16, that is our time to finally enjoy this game!
The gameplay is familiar and simple: each level is cleared by annihilating all UFOs while avoiding falling bombs and blocks. Blocks cannot be destroyed by bullets but will disappear if hit by enemy bombs.
Let's get playing! |

| | Game Dev Compo Wrap | | Posted by Csabo on 2024-03-31 |
 The extended deadline for the Hungarian Game Development Compo has passed, and we now have the final list of entries, which includes some last-minute new additions.
Bombtank by Haeger and Flappy Fly by FeCO have been updated to their final(?) versions.
FeCO submitted two more games: SimonSaid1L is a Simon-like guessing game in only one BASIC line! Patt is the full version of PattB10L, it's an action game where you control a bouncing ball.
Last but not least, we have the unexpected but welcome return of Zsolt Prievara, who wrote a new game based on 2048: Magic Dices!
It's fantastic to see such a turnout for the compo. Check out the games and be sure to congratulate the authors on their achievements! |

 LBM is back (after a slight 31-year break) with a brand new game: Mad Pod Race! Up to three players can play this Star Wars-themed racing game. You get a top-down view of the race track, and you must reach the checkpoints as fast as possible while avoiding crashing into your opponents.
There are 15 levels to play. 3... 2... 1... Go! |

| | Binary Battle! | | Posted by Csabo on 2024-03-15 |
 Haplo (the newest member of Plus/4 World, and author of Toop, Tenebra and Tenebra 2) is back with a new game. No, the name doesn't start with "T", instead we have Binary Battle, a roguelike with a twist:
Bravely battle baddies, beware overheating, buy boons, bring back the source code!
Enjoy! |

| | Giana Sisters! | | Posted by Csabo on 2024-03-03 |
 The Great Giana Sisters is a beloved classic on C64: a platformer heavily inspired by the "Italian plumber" series (that shall not be named). The game has incredible staying power: over 100 cracks of it exist (with new ones being released even this year), there's a PETSCII version, multiple level editors, a 30th-anniversary edition with lots of extras, tributes, the list goes on. Its soundtrack by Chris Hülsbeck is one of the most popular video game soundtracks of all time.
But wait a minute, why should we, lowly Plus/4 users care about all this C64 hoopla? Simple: thanks to TCFS, the game is now available on our platform as well!
Enemies to dodge, power-ups to collect, boss fights to overcome, hidden warps to find, and 30+ levels to complete: it's all waiting for you! |

| | Some Creative Cheats (Part 1) | | Posted by Csabo on 2024-01-24 |
 TCFS brought us some excellent conversions of classic C64 games. When Cauldron II starts up for example, the player is immediately greeted with a cheat menu. (That was probably warranted, as the game is very hard.) But what if you wanted to make progress in some of his other titles?
Today we will look at two games Impossible Mission +4 and Bruce Lee Anniversary Edition. Be warned, spoilers ahead! |
