Mollusk Redux
2011
Dive into the ocean and guide the mollusk through 24 levels of excitement in this C64 exclusive underwater eat 'em up! Originally entered in RGCD's 16KB Cartridge Game Development Competition (2011), this special redux version features a number of enhancements over the competition release, including: * 4 stages each with 6 levels, * A limited amount of fishes to eat on each level. * Bonus fish, * Improved controls, * Hi-score table, * Optional disk hi-score saver/loader (and hi-score reset), * Game map wraps horizontally, * PAL/NTSC compatibility, * Other minor bugfixes. The game is set across four oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Antarctic) each made up of six levels. The goal on each level is to eat a set quota of fish whilst avoiding enemy eels, piranhas, sharks and falling anchors. Your mollusk isn't defenseless though - you have a reserve of ink at your disposal! The fish stock of each ocean is rapidly depleting - much like in real life - so you'll have to move quick.

Originally intended to be released in 1994 during the commercial decline of the Commodore 64, Bloodwheels was unreleased until 2011 when it was included in the 'Shoot 'Em Up Destruction Set 2' package by Psytronik. In this game you control an armoured vehicle on a mission that takes you through an arid desert-scape, a war-torn town, over bridges, through an army base, through dense jungle and an evacuated city, and more. The game features some nicely detailed sprites, destructible scenery and can be played by one or two players. War has never been so much fun!Fairy Well

Spy vs. Spy: The Island Caper Spy vs. Spy: The Island Caper (also known as Spy vs. Spy II: The Island Caper)[8] introduced a side scrolling play area, which effectively allowed for a small number of very wide "rooms" (the action actually takes place outside, on a tropical island).[7] It also introduced the idea of traps being built from the sticks and coconuts on the island, meaning that each spy no longer started with a fixed number of traps, but must compete to acquire the raw materials necessary to build their traps. The spies must gather the three segments of a rocket and then dive into a sea where a submarine awaits them. However, only connected segments can be carried at any one time. The second installment also included more complex scenery and continued the dual-screen interface present in the first.[7] The game starts with the two players parachuting onto an island in search of a buried missile. As they search, players are able to build traps to slow their enemy's progress.[7] This game was going to comeSpy vs. Spy 3

Spy vs. Spy: Arctic Antics Spy vs. Spy: Arctic Antics (also known as Spy vs. Spy III: Arctic Antics)[10] was the third game in the series, and switched the location from a tropical island to the frozen wastes of the Arctic. The spies fought by means of throwing snowballs at each other and setting traps, which decreased their body heat bar. Tools the spies used included a saw which allowed a hole to be cut in the ice for the second player to fall into and lose body heat. Lost body heat could be restored by moving into an igloo with a heater inside.Poster Paster

Let's Invade

This is Space Invaders, but with a few twists and turns. For one thing, the aliens won't move down after completely moving across the screen, they have their own behavior. This game involves retro arcade gaming, with a twist of psychedelic aural (thumping trance) and visual stimulation. You have been transported to a void by the alien mothership. Your mission is to battle wave after wave against the RGB invaders. The darker the aliens are, the weaker they will become. The lighter the aliens, the more hits they will require. You must blast away through 40 different stages. Shoot orange aliens for random power ups. Purple/Magenta aliens give out extra lives.These will be lost if a life is lost, or the power up has timed out.Mad Doctor

As the Mad Doctor, you decide you'd like to build yourself a monster. To do this you must find body parts for your monster. To get these you can dig up graves or stealthily attack lone walkers late at night and beat the stuffing out of them. Then you take them back to your castle and either finish them off or lock them in your little dungeon until you're ready to 'request' their assistance in your endeavor. Finally, when you've found choice parts for your monster, you must take him to stonehenge (cliché alert) and have him struck by lightning to come to life. The residents of the village are not especially impressed by your idea and will attempt to stop you. Unlock the dark side of your psyche, turn the lights down low, put on a maniac-type laugh and go build yourself a monster.Guns 'n' Ghosts

Multiple rounds can be played and tally of the score is kept for all rounds played. The goal of the game is to try to get one of your pawns to the starting row of your opponent's pawns.

Somewhere in the middle of the huge forest is an ancient castle. Local people tell of strange creatures that guard vast treasures hidden within the castle, though since no-one who has dared to venture inside has ever returned it's difficult to know how much is fact and how much speculation. Not too far away from the castle is a small cottage which you may as well use as your base. Though now uninhabited remains in good repair, cared for by the villagers who regard it as a sort of shrine. With luck you may find there some items that will help you in your quest. This program loads in three parts, but all you need to do is place the rewound cassette in your tape deck, then tap RUN/STOP while holding down one of the SHIFT keys. The screen will be blank whilst each section loads -- this is quite normal. Adventure programs offer you a chance to pit your wits against the ingenuity of the author. By instructing the computer to do things (move, examine objects, take objects etc) you must attempt to score as many points aCrackers Revenge

This version of the classic board game supports several graphic formats and offers some different options. From 2 to 8 players can play the game, and they can all be computer players if you wish. This allows you to just sit back and watch as the computer takes over. You can choose to play a short game with a specified time limit, or a standard game, and there is a save game feature. All actions are handled entirely by keyboard. Questions appear in the center area of the board (for buying property, for instance). Pressing the first letter of a word from the top bar takes that action (Q for Quit as an example). Player stats can be viewed on the screen.Pi R Squared

In this logical game you have to move a sphere around cogs to collect a formula in the correct order. To move between cogs you press the space bar at the point they meet. Holding down W will allow you to move the opposite way the cog is moving but here you move slower, releasing W allows you to travel faster the way the cog is moving. Some cogs have baddies on them and you must time your transfer to it without being hit by it. On the screen you see a small part of the game area. As well as the main playing area you can also see your score, lives, level and parts of the formula collected.Bug Blitz

Superbike Challenge
1987
Superbike Challenge brings 1000cc motorbikes to life for a one or two player race. Unusually, the screen is split horizontally, with your action only ever using half of the screen. You can play a full season of races, or run at one of the 12 tracks as a stand-alone race (including Assen, Mugello, the old Hockenheim and Spa). A manual gearbox option and 3 skill levels ensure that you can't master the game immediately. Full information on your speed and revs, the race order and course layout are on screen at all times. Superbike Challenge is an updated version of Grand Prix 500 cc, with a better menu and title screen and some different in-game graphics.
