22.06.2026 - C64 game 'Comchinko' released
Too old to keep up with fast shooters? Too bored to replay the same type of reskinned flip screen platformer over and over again? Can’t be bothered to read a six page manual? Too AI degraded to solve puzzle games or struck down by tendonitis by jerking your joystick too hard. Comchinko by Dr. Mortal Wombat (maker of e.g. Trenchangle, Terminal Walker, Soiled Iron, Roguebot, Minotrace, Ball and Chain, Gates of the Ancient) may be just the right game for you. Just push a button to let your balls drop and see chaos ensue and numbers go up – or just sit there and see the balls drop all by themselves if even this is to much bother. You can get the game as digital download for a bargain (name your own price) to support the developer.

Thanks to Tony, we can finally confirm its Beam Software origins and present a playable prototype. Joining it is an Australian prototype of Aussie Games, containing a number of interesting differences from the released editions, plus Tony’s own unreleased game Void – a complete commercial title that sadly fell victim to publishing changes before release.
