04.07.2021 - C64 port of 'Galaga' released as preview for download
This port of the old arcade classic is currently still a preview version so that the developer can gather feedback on how it feels compared to the arcade, how much interest there is (the final version will be free of course) and some bug reports while he takes a little break from it. There are debug symbols in the right panel so any screenshots or videos of bugs can be put into some context. it's currently PAL only but I'll work on that.
