Though superseded by its sequel from a technical point of view, Turrican II: The Final Fight is perhaps best known as a 16-bit game. The first game in the series, however – Turrican – was originally released on the Commodore 64 to fantastic critical and commercial reception, with genuinely impressive visuals for the 8-bit computer that made it punch way above its weight. One of the very first games created by Sensible Software, Wizball is a horizontal shoot ‘em up with some playfully innovative elements – not least the fact that you’re not in control of a space ship, but a wizard who’s actually a ball.

Commodore 64 - Wikipedia

Tramiel named his business commodore following the involvement of Opel Commodore Car in the burgeoning personal computing field. The number 64 represents the commodore storage capacity of 64 kilobytes (KB) RAM. Impossible Mission takes a lot of brainpower; it’s basically a brain exercise in disguise. You have six hours to collect thirty-six pieces of puzzle. Like Spy Vs Spy, dying incurs a time penalty. This game also has one of the first examples of digitised speech in a computer game. It’s practically a piece of retro gaming history! What is the Commodore 64? Commodore 64 was not the first computer. However, Commodore is widely known for being the first company to produce home computers.VICE emulates multiple Commodore systems – VICE not only emulates the Commodore 64, it also has C64DTV, C128, PET, PLUS4, SCPU64, and CBM-II emulators. Program lines can be 80 characters total on most machines, but machines with 40 column text would cause the line to wrap around to the next line on the screen, and on the VIC-20, which had a 22 column display, program lines could occupy as many as four. BASIC 7.0 on the Commodore 128 increased the limit of a program line to 160 characters (four 40-column lines or two 80-column lines). By using abbreviations such as ? instead of PRINT, it is possible to fit even more on a line. BASIC 7.0 displays a ?STRING TOO LONG error if the user enters a program line over 160 characters in length. Earlier versions do not produced an error and simply display the READY prompt two lines down if the line length is exceeded. The line number is counted in the number of characters in the program line, so a five digit line number will result in four fewer characters allowed than a one digit number. For graphics, you can for sure use any of the popular graphics programs out there, but some ready-made editors include the limitations of the VIC graphics modes. Fans of games like Mr Driller, Pac-Man, and Candy Crush will love Bubble Bobble. It’s one of the first two-player arcade games and was a huge success for games company Taito. Everyone loves a ‘screen clear’ title, and Bubble Bobble is still considered to be one of the best puzzle games of all time. The specifications of the C64GS are a subset of those of the regular C64; the main differences being the omission of the user port, serial interface, and cassette port. Since the system board is a regular C64C board these ports are actually present, but simply not exposed at the rear.

A period (.) can be used in place of the number 0 (thus 10 A = . instead of 10 A = 0 or 10 FOR A = . TO 100 instead of 10 FOR A = 0 to 100), this will execute slightly faster.

The aim of the game is simple and yet so incredibly addictive. Blow bubbles to defeat and trap enemies on a single-screen stage. Clear all the bad guys, and move onto the next level. Yes, there are several platforms where we share our c64 related productions. Most important of which are:
