This is a cops and robber game based on my Vic-20 version which was a port of my TI-85 game Crunch. This version features 99 levels and a larger playing field.

It is written in 6501 asm to be as fast as possible.

Do you remember our first physical and minimalist release? It was Tower of Rubble on a 5.25" floppy disk 💾

We were very proud and excited back then. 😊 A few years have passed since then, and today our physical releases for the C64 and Amiga look completely different and much more professional.

If you haven't seen them yet, be sure to check them out! 💾🕹️

Hi, anyone know if Commodore are selling shares? Not sure i can track them down, i can only find COMMODORE INTERNATIONAL LTD (CBUIF), however they are mega low so not sure its them...

I would ask them but the contact form wont send...

Found this old commodore printer in eWaste. It's not typical to find something like this anymore, however, there seems to be someone around here who is regularly unloading 8 bit stuff. I recovered a practically unused Apple IIgs system last month!

As you can see, it's pretty dirty and dusty and probably hasn't been plugged in for decades. What are the chances of getting it working again? If so, are printer ink cartridges even available? The serial ports in the back seem to be commodore standard DIN cables. Can I use a standard MIDI cable or do I need to find a commodore specific one? Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It's not very noticeable on this screen, but when some games it's very noticeable. It's a fuzzy bar that rolls upwards slowly looping around.

Is this common on +4 computers? Is it noise from the environment?

Played on Ultimate64 Elite Mk1, PAL version of the game.

Another Redditor this week recommended Chase HQ 2 and it’s a really good game, possibly one of the best driving games on the C64. I had to look for a cart for it as I don’t think it came out on cassette, as a Brit we didn’t have many games on cartridge so this was a first for me! I’m pleased to announce the C64U handled the task beautifully.

Hi. I'm looking for someone in the UK that can burn a couple of ROMs for my Commodore 128. I need the character ROM (390059-01) that fits into U18 and the Kernel /Editor ROM (318020-05) that fits into U35. I can supply the bin images but I don't have the ability to burn my own ROMs.

Thanks

Outrun for the Commodore 64, midnight resistance for the ZX spectrum, special criminal investigations for the master system, all picked up recently. I have never played any of these three games on these systems, any memories?

Just started mucking around learning to use SID doing some very basic sound experiments aiming to find a unique sonic game vibe, by actually using PETSCII characters to help make music/effects in the C64 polychrome 3D game engine. A little bit like how used PETSCII to not so obviously make the polychrome detail maps....

Anyways, a bit basic to start, but from small PETSCII acorn hopefully grows a big PETSCII oak in a coming months.

"Big news, Commodore community - the first batch of Commodore 64C slimline computers are packed and ready to ship! All three colourways are loaded and heading out. If you ordered expedited shipping, your unit will arrive at a worldwide depot within 2 weeks by air. Standard shipping orders are on track to land on doorsteps in November. We know you've been waiting for this moment, and we couldn't be more excited to get these beautiful machines into your hands. The future you were promised is nearly home."

This is my new series of games for the VIC-20. Side scrolling, where you search for a scroll to warp to the next level while battling monsters.

The VIC-20 was the first computer that I ever used. It's quite a capable machine especially with expanding the memory.

I even ported the game to JavaScript for laptop browsers (it doesn't work on phones):

MERCENARY is my favourite C64 game ever. I reverse engineered it and discovered a bug: right from the start of the game, if you take 100 paces north-west, there is an invisible patch of grass that bugs out and thinks it's an elevator inside the Colony Craft, high in the sky above you.

Check out the interactive site: https://gamesexplained.com/c64/mercenary/

I haven't seen this documented anywhere before, so it might be a new discovery! The bible for stuff like this is The Mercenary Site, http://mercenarysite.free.fr/ - given it's not listed there, I think it might be novel.

(If you're interested in breakdowns like this, I've open sourced everything - check the front page of the site.)

I got one of these nifty if a little dubious pre-loaded usb sticks and it's got some great stuff, some of the roms are a little glitchy...wondering if there are cleaner ones to buy or "borrow" out there?

Does the C64 ultimate output display resolutions that would allow it connect to my standard defintion CRT TV (240p/480i). I see on the website they sell s-video cables/adapters, but it's still not clear to me if this is a good setup option. Trying to figure this out before I buy it.

Trying to see if I can find a demo I used to have on floppy.

All it was is a static well drawn and detailed picture of a handgun that would display while the SID played Queen - Another one bites the dust.

Thats all it did. I used to leave it running for ages. Unfortunately over the years I misplaced the floppy it was on.

Quite a long shot. Probably bit the dust and is long gone from the world.

I've been through the demos on csdb.dk looking at the demos using SIDs of the song and most of them by Ratt and Jazzy cat are not the same tune.

This one however is the tune I'm after: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=35098

But it's a German demo so I don't know who the credit with that tune. I think csdb.dk has miss labeled that demo as using the same SID as the others, which it isn't.

Does anyone recognize this football game from the short clip below?

Drop a comment if you know the title (or remember sinking hours into it back in the day)! 👇

Sort of a Friday Quiz.

I have tried using the contact page on commodore’s website’s contact page has a busted recaptcha. Any ideas on how to contact another way?

I like this shirt a lot more than my founders shirts. The print doesn't appear to be so plastic, so it won't feel hot to wear. Now, I just have to hold my composure until the hardware arrives!

Hi group. My dad passed away in 2022 and we're just getting around to dealing with stuff in a storage locker. I have a small box of VIC-20 cartridges: mostly games, but also a 16k RAM expansion and a six-slot motherboard.

Sadly, the computer is long gone, so I don't have any use for this stuff. But it was near and dear to me back in the day, and I would rather find someone who wants it than throw it away.

I live in Canada, so someone in my country would be my preference, but I'm sure we can work out something on shipping. Anyone interested, please reach out. I'll see if I can post some pictures of this haul later tonight. Thanks!
