25 Years Cascade
Author: Zeldin - written on 25.07.2013
Happy birthday!!! Cascade was found in April 1988 (read trivia for more info) and so this makes it a fourth of a century old. We planned to celebrate this with a little, sweet demo. It would have contained the graphics you see on the right (more info about it here). But we sadly failed, due to time intensive real life things. We already missed the 20 years celebration demo and together with lots of other failed projects, all the unfinished parts, routines, graphics and stuff are slowly filling more an more disks in our boxes. Anyway... we are still around, and one day we will even manage to pull out a demo again, I am sure. In the meantime you might enjoy the shown no-border graphic, made for the jubilee.
Now a short message to all current or former Cascade members: Wherever you are, to which coast of life you got drifted, I want to send you my warm hearted greetings and all my love. Feel honoured, that you have been (or still are) part of a project, that was started as a simple hobby of some young lads - unprofessional, non-commercial, not lifestyle driven and not guided by any political or industrial elites - and still it exists after 25 years! I feel very proud of that and so should you!

02.08.2026 - C64 game 'Callback: Operation Internot' - preview free for download
'Callback: Operation Internot' is a C64 game about redemption, touching grass, and liberating the blue-light zombies from the iron grip of the feed. You'll meet innocents trapped in the algorithm and rage-baited loyalists sent to derail your mission. Win them all with kindness (and a flip phone). Current status of the preview version: Stage one, Neon City, is playable start to finish. Twenty souls, the cassette, the sprint to the exit, and everything above. A boss battle for the end of Neon City and a second, vertically scrolling level are in progress. The engine already loads levels as data - each one carries its own character set and its own cast - so stage two will be a genuinely different place rather than a reskin.

02.08.2026 - 'Moria8' v1.5.0 - game for C64 and Plus/4 released
The classic 1983 game Moria has been ported to many platforms over the years, and recently Chad Gibbons ported it to several 8-bit platforms, including Plus/4 and C64. V1.5.0 of the game dropped now. The game is a roguelike, inspired by The Lord of the Rings. The objective of the game is to dive deep into the Mines of Moria and kill the Balrog. Sounds simple, right? In fact the game is very complex: your choice of class and race matters, there's many resources to manage, spells to learn and equipment to identify.

'Scrapyard' is an arcade maze shooter for C64. You are Kryten 2000, a sanitation droid on a magnetic sorting floor where broken military drones and dead factory bots get dumped. Their logic has rotted. Nothing down here is fighting you in particular - it is fighting whatever it was built to eat. You can get the game as digital download for a fair price to support the developer.
