Game Review: Bastion

Most of the popular video games from the 80s were ported, in one fashion or the other, to the C64. But why no Star Castle? It took me a while, but I actually did find a Star Castle clone on the C64. Read more...

Back in 1984, the trailblazing budget video game publisher, Mastertronic, released the zombie themed game, Chiller. Now, thirty seven years later, Andy Vaisey took it upon himself to take the basis of Chiller and produce a version of it that is actually challenging and entertaining. Read more...

My First Game on the C64

A question that I see crop up, from time to time, is “what was the first game you ever played on your C64?” It's an interesting question and I enjoy hearing and reading other's answer to this question. For me, it's not an easy question to answer. Read more...

Game Review: L'Abbaye des Morts

A new C64 game from Canadian publisher

I happened to stumble across information about another new game for the C64, set to be released early next year. What excited me most about this new game is that it is being produced by a retro games developer, here in Canada! To me, this is fantastic news and is something that compels me to throw my support behind. Read more...

A failing 1541

After sitting in cold/hot storage for the better part of four years, I finally got around to getting out my original 1541 floppy disk drive and giving it a test drive. Right from the get-go, however, the drive didn't sound very good, nor did it appear to work properly. Oh boy. Read more...

Archiving Game Instructions

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I can't recall game controls as easily as I used to; at least with games that I haven't played for an extended amount of time. So, I've started jotting down these commands for easy reference. Read more...

More Fun With the Flyer

One of the reasons why I purchased the Retroswitch Flyer modem was for backing up and archiving my collection of floppy disks before they degraded and became unreadable. It's been working out well, in this capacity, but I'm ashamed that I never thought of this use for it until now! Read more...

Proper C64 S-Video

NOTE: This article addresses the various S-Video signals available from a few different versions of the US NTSC, brown, breadbox Commodore 64. If you have a C64c, C128 or PAL versions etc., I have no idea how much the below information may be of use to you. Proceed with caution.

When my Commodore 1702 monitor recently bit the dust, I found myself struggling with a decision: Invest in another 30 year old tube-based technology or bring the output of my beloved C64 into the 21st century. I chose the latter and couldn't be happier. Read more...
