Another 2600 to C64 port has arrived! http://www.indieretronews.com/2021/12/sequest-1983-atari-2600-game-arrives-on.html This is one of my favourite 2600 games and while it loses some of the vivid colour from the original (due to the different methods both machines create the screen) and feeling a little different it's about as good a port as could be done. It even keeps the little tricks like being able to halt the oxygen meter by peeking just above the surface with the sub's tower. Download here https://h4plo.itch.io/seaquest (Original below for comparison.)

Supremacy on the C64 was an impressive port back in 1991. All the more impressive as a single load game. Now a group of coders are looking to make a new version with all the missing bits of the Amiga version for disk and flash carts. -

Galaga has been ported to the C64 by Arlasoft. You can download it here https://arlagames.itch.io/galaga-c64? This is one of those games that missed out being ported to the C64 (it's successor Gaplus being the closest the C64 got during its commercial lifespan.) It's a pretty solid port!

https://sarahjaneavory.itch.io/zeta-wing Well, Sarah Jane Avory made a huge impression in 2019 with Neutron (and the funny Christmas-skinned revamp Santron). Now she's back with Zeta Wing, a gorgeous and incredible vertically scrolling shoot 'em up inspired by arcade game Gemini Wing. (Sarah actually ported the Atari ST version to Amiga, and was always disappointed she had no time to make use of the Amiga's superior hardware) Earth has been overrun by mutant creatures, so strap into your fighter and blast off to get rid of the infestation for good! Destroying a complete attack wave drops a P token, and collecting 12 increases your shot strength by one level. Dying drops it back one level but does not drain your power gauge. - Three difficulty levels and autofire option (hold fire) - Seven huge stages - Giant end of level bosses - Parallax scrolling layers - Simultaneous sound FX and music - PAL and NTSC compatible Trailer here:

I don't think we've had a thread on this old game. I remember loving this back in the day despite it being something David Crane cobbled together in six weeks from his Car Wars prototype. Came across a video tonight that talks about how the account generator worked in such a way to create a "save" system with no onboard saving.

http://www.indieretronews.com/2020/05/marios-cement-factory-c64-port-coming.html#more From the creator More at the link but a bit of a fool's errand as the C64 doesn't have a display good enough to.... Woah. This looks really good and as close to the art of the original that you might hope to get on an 8-bit.
