Gaplus is a classic arcade shooter originally released in the 1980s. It invites players to pilot their spacecraft through waves of alien invaders in a dynamic and challenging environment. In Gaplus you take control of a lone starfighter in a mission to fend…
LightTangent has released SIDPLAY65 - a native Mega-65 player for COMPUTE! Gazette Music System SID Music Files. The COMPUTE! Sidplayer was a music system for the C64 developed by Craig Chamberlain and Harry Bratt in the '80s. Music files could be created using an editor program on the C64 and then played using a more lightweight player which lacked editing facilities. Many music files were…
The MEGA65 has already a great C64 core that is very compatible with a lot of hardware and almost any software you can throw at it. But wouldn't it be great if there also was an Amiga core for the machine? Maybe in the not so distant future there will. On the MEGA65 Discord channel the first steps towards assembling a team working with porting…
Mirage_BD has just (re)released some of his impressive tech-demos for the MEGA65. These include a mod-player, a JPEG viewer and an impressive "bounching ball"-demo. Find the D81 image file on the MEGA65 filehost: https://files.mega65.org?id=73f7b3a1-7e9c-4d2f-bb36-70d9cf47646d As usual, if you have any trouble with corrupted sound, please mount the disk from BASIC instead of using the Freezer.
Many will probably already know the MEGA65 - a somewhat beefed up "recreation" of the never released Commodore 65. As the machine gets into more and more people's hands there is a growing number of people active with the platform. This means that every week new games, tools and updates to the system software is released. As it can be difficult to keep up with…
I denne artikel kigger jeg på GreaseWeazle - et fantastisk lille stykke hardware, der gør kopiering af dine gamle Amiga- (og PC-) disketter til en leg. Da jeg for mange år siden begyndte at erkende, at disketter nok ikke var det mest fremtidssikrede lagermedie til de alle de spil, programmer og data, jeg havde fået oparbejdet i de år, hvor Amiga’en var mit foretrukne køretøj,…
I 2023 skal man åbenbart skal se sig ekstra godt for, når man vil købe en The C64 mini, for ikke at ende med et stykke ubrugeligt elektronik.
Det er lidt som om, at trenden med at producere nye miniudgaver af gamle spillekonsoller så småt er klinget af. Men forleden udkom alligevel den mini-maskine, jeg nok har ventet allermest på, nemlig mini-udgaven af Amiga 500 fra Retrogames Ltd.. Jeg har nu haft den i en uges tid, så her kommer, hvad jeg tænker om den. I pakken med den nye mini-Amiga finder vi…
Hvorfor er MEGA65-computeren værd at vente på - og hvorfor venter vi stadig?
I denne weekend er det præcis 40 år siden, at Commodore 64 blev præsenteret. Der gik lige nogle år - nærmere bestemt til juleaften 1988, før jeg kom med på beatet og stiftede bekendtskab med verdens fedeste computer. For Commodore 64 ER noget helt særligt. Ikke siden har jeg haft en computer, som i samme sekund, den blev tændt, viste en venlig blå skærm, der…
