30.03.2026 - Plus/4 game 'Sandris' released - free for download
'Sandris' is a Tetris-like game in which the falling pieces turn into sand. But though the game may look similar to Tetris, it needs a very different strategy. Connecting a single color from wall to wall clears lines and scores points. You start out with only two colors, but the number of colors and the speed increases as you progress through levels. The game features two shape sets: Classic and Odd Bunch. The latter contains weird shapes and might behave surprisingly.

In this video you can find some updates on the Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo game I'm creating for C64/C128 platforms using my RetroFighter engine. This adaptation of SSF2T for CBM platforms is based on the GameBoy Advance version called SSF2T Revival, but obviously my version will have something different. The game is planned to be executed on a 1Mbyte EasyFlash or Kung Fu Flash cartridge. This new demo includes the following: almost all backdrops (one is to be completed), almost all musics (only one remaining), enhanced bonus rounds, enhanced animations and sprites, chainable jabs and shorts basic moves for some fighters, strongs and forward basic moves for some fighters

29.03.2026 - HighSpeed Pascal - Turbo Power for a Cooler Computer - video by 'RobSmithDev'
Whilst digging through some of his Amiga boxes Rob stumbled across his copy of HighSpeed Pascal. A somewhat less well known compiler for the Amiga. The reason he'd purchased this was its compatibility with Turbo Pascal on the PC, allowing him to do his school work at home. In this video we're going to take a quick look at it, and see two of the things that Rob created with it.

Dunjons is a small turn-based dungeon hack/slash made using AmiBlitz3 for the Retro Programmers Inside (RPI) and Phaze101 Maze Game Jam 2026, but the developer eventually enhances this into a full game later. It features turn-based gameplay with line-of-sight system for gradual exploration and fog-of-war, experience and player stats upgrades, inventory with usable items and automapper.

22.03.2026 - Viewer sent me a Broken Commodore 16 - serious damage! - video by ' Sayaka's Digital Attic'
Sayaka fixed a Commodore 16 that a viewer sent in. Apparently, he found it in the trash and tried to fix it himself, but after failing, he left it in the basement for a long time until he sent it to 'Sayaka's Digital Attic'. It had a lot of problems, including broken traces on the motherboard, a chip with one leg cut off and even a non working keyboard that someone had already tried to repair.

21.03.2026 - C64 game 'SG Invaders MMXXVI' released
SG Invaders MMXXVI is yet another Invaders clone on first glance, but its game developer took a slightly different approach. Instead of chasing perfect accuracy, this version goes all-in on what the C64 does best - delivering something smoother, and more visually engaging than the original. This is achieved by leaning heavily into the machine’s strengths: Aggressive sprite multiplexing for fluid, arcade-beating motion, the legendary SID chip driving the soundscape and a Galencia-style parallax starfield for that extra layer of depth and motion. You can get the game as digital download for little money (name your own price) to support the developer.
