NEWS AND UPDATES
» 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!"
» January 27th, 2010 - The Arrogance interviewed
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!"

» January 17th, 2010 - C64 used in new free downloadable album
Lukhash is a musician who in the beginning of 2009 started to experiment with sounds from the C64 and Gameboy handheld. In the middle of December, he released his fourth album. Dead Pixels is a fusion of blip, blop and rock, and it can be downloaded for free here.
» 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 »
» December 17th, 2009 - Steve Collins interviewed
Inherited from
Games That Weren't, here's an interview with programmer and Havok founder Steve Collins. Some of you may not know who Steve Collins is when you hear his name at first. Compared to most C64 developers, Steve only had two of his games released to the public, and another two sadly lost. His two games however made a great impact but Steve never really got the recognition he deserved. With a fantastic conversion of Tengen's Badlands on the C64 in a single load and the awesome budget title Herobotix, Steve made his mark on the C64 for years to come.

» December 7th, 2009 - Steve Ruddy interviewed
Inherited from
Games That Weren't, here's an interview with programmer and conversion extraordinaire Steve Ruddy. Creating such marvels such as Bubble Bobble, LED Storm, Ghouls 'n' Ghosts and Bionic Commando, Steve helped to build up a reputation for Software Creations to be one of the biggest names in the games industry. Not only did Steve create these stunning games, but he helped build the awesome music editor which was used by Tim Follin, thus helping us to also hear some of the best C64 sounds of all times.
» December 5th, 2009 - Roy Bannon interviewed
Inherited from
Games That Weren't, here's an interview with programmer and Denton Designs employee Roy Bannon. Roy is known for his game World Class Rugby and the unreleased Batman Returns. With many stories to tell, Roy has a chat about various topics of his past and present.
» December 4th, 2009 - Game update from Andreas
Here's 10 new games which I don't expect you to play at all: Ah Diddums, Bouncy, Diving Max, Droid, Felix in the Factory, Froggy, Girls They Want to Have Fun, Kicker, Loadstar's Video Poker, and Space Action. It's been a while since I updated the site with games, and I'm sorry it had to be this bunch. You could always download Ah Diddums and listen to Fred Gray's cute tune. I have already started to play the next 10, and they look lots more promising. Keep the faith! Look at the games » (and try not to cringe)
» December 1st, 2009 - 4-Mat of Cosine/Ate Bit/Orb interviewed
Morpheus gives you an interview with musician, 4-Mat of Cosine, Ate Bit, and Orb. This is how a typical day in front of the computer looked for Matt: "The usual stuff, collect parcels in the morning, maybe track a few songs for the day or get some sendings ready, then go out for the night. The important part was not letting it take over your life really. I quit when it stopped being fun. People were taking it really seriously, like it was a business or something." Enjoy his music on C64.COM's SID Stream while reading! Tune in »
