NEWS AND UPDATES
» March 11th, 2010 - 10 more games featuring Winter Camp
Andreas gives you: Demons of Topaz – Ozzy Versus the Universe Part 1, Guldkorn Expressen, Headache, Microcosm, Skærmtrolden Hugo, Stir Crazy Featuring Bobo, Supersports, Tony La Russa's Ultimate Baseball, Turn'n Burn, and Winter Camp. Check out the games »
Jason Page on the creation of Stir Crazy Featuring Bobo: "I was porting it from the Atari ST. We were told that it was a really simple game, only needing four sprites. They (Probe) didn't mention that each sprite was massive, and that the backgrounds required bitmap mode! I ended up with a full sprite plexor and lots of other fun stuff (even the high score table had to be handled with sprites). For what the game was, it used quite a bit of advanced tech."

» March 8th, 2010 - Maduplec interviewed
Morpheus gives you an interview with Maduplec of Sidewize, Noise, Nato, and Crest. Thanks to Shok'Ray for arraning it. On what makes the C64 so special, Martin says: "Anyone with time and interest could learn how to program the C64, plus so many had it even though is was mainly for playing games. As a result, a lot of people could see what you had created, and effectively, a new type of media was born."

» March 1st, 2010 - Stephen 'SIT' Thomson interviewed
Saying that Stephen Thomson did a good job on the C64 is an understatement of gigantic proportions. Rated as one of the very finest artists, Stephen is behind the graphics in games like The Untouchables and Navy Seals. What sales pitch did he use on his parents to get the C64? What game was most fun to work on? What pixel technique did he use? All revealed inside – and more! Interview by Andreas. Of course. Read it all here »

» February 5th, 2010 - Former team member Zyron interviewed
Morpheus give you an interview with former C64.COM team member and multi-talented C64 guy Zyron of Swedish Computer Gang, Quari Cracking Group, Wiz Game Swapping, Deceit, Antic, Swemix, The Remembers, Nostalgia, Fantastic 4 Cracking Group, and Oxsid Planetary. Enjoy Zyron's music on C64.COM's SID Stream while reading! Tune in »
Favourite part of the interview: "For about a year and a half I spent more or less every weekend at Droid's place coding, discussing routines, watching new demos, drinking beer and writing scrolltexts. Sometimes it was like a little meeting in his apartment with me and Psycho of Deceit, Droid, Killer, and Linco of The New Terminators, plus two other guys calling themselves Lord and Tomcat present. The normal scenario would be me and Droid sitting by his C64 most of the time while the rest were either playing games or watching demos on Killer's Amiga. These were the best of times!"

Morpheus give you an interview with coder, cracker, swapper, and not so proud magazine editor The Arrogance of The Sharks, Success, Success+X-Ray, Legend, X-Ray, Pandora, and Success+The Ruling Company. Favourite bit from the interview: "That period was exciting for a teenager, doing forbidden things, hanging around with people from all over the world, swapping games, being part of conferences, visiting boards, etc. Yay, that was fun!"

» December 30th, 2009 - SID easter eggs in the Line6 Spider Jam
Hidden in the depths of the Line6 Spider Jam lurks a SID emulator written by the lead software engineer who worked on the project. There are some 450+ SID tunes hidden in the amp!

» December 24th, 2009 - Eight new games – Happy holidays to all!
Andreas gives you eight new games plus more screenshots and credits for Neuronics, Stone Age, and Super Seymour. The new games are: Badlands, Battle Island, Beach Volley, Dynamix, Pebbles, Rolling Ronny, Shinobi, and Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood. While Battle Island drove me insane, Badlands is a great racer and Beach Volley is a decent conversion of the Amiga original. Happy holidays to all our trusty visitors! Next year will without doubt be filled with more C64 nostalgia. See you then! Drink resonably. ;) Check out the games »
» December 23rd, 2009 - New findings on the GTW site
Yeah, there's been a lot of exposure of our friends over at Games That Weren't here on C64.COM lately. And here's more! So, the site displays unreleased games, unfinished games that never were on the Commodore 64. Frank and his fearless crew (yaar!) has just released a big Christmas update which features Arkanoid v1, the Lynnsoft version before Ocean got the official licence. Also featured is Starglider 2, an unreleased game by Pete Baron and Bob Stevenson.
Check these goodies out!
» December 22nd, 2009 - More Kjell Nordbø tracks on the stream
Still a fan of that sweet SID sound? Then why not tune in to our SID Stream, the only real radio station for pure C64 music. You should especially do so now that we've added more tracks by Kjell Nordbø, which we believe is one overlooked SID musician. Tune in »
