I can't quite get over how good this looks....on a C64! This is one hell of an accomplishment. Honestly I expected to barely recognize the game, but instead it looks and feels exactly like the original VGA version I played as a kid - just with what looks like a dither filter over the original graphics (which look amazing I might add). Wow, seriously impressed. How is this possible in 64K of RAM?

- nu11ptr 4y agoNot familiar enough with the C64 to know what this means, but I'm assuming it means it "needs a little something extra" than a stock C64? > The C64 version has been in development for 16 years. The primary developer is Andreas Larsson along with a handful of other developers and people from the demo scene. Wow, the stamina here is amazing... 16 years? I have a hard time keeping side projects going for 1-2 years.
- kleiba 4y agoThe stock C64 came with an extension slot that allows you to plug in extra hardware - some games, for instance, you could buy as a cartridge (instead of a disk or tape) that got plugged into that slot.
