While the latest news will be slower this week due to an extreme heatwave, I'm still pleased to write up that the playable demo called "Ramizes" by programmer Pawel Tukatsch, widely known in the community as tukinem, has made an appearance and can be downloaded below. While I haven't yet played the game and will do so soon, this nostalgic production conquered the ROMA.EXE 2026 game competition, securing its spot among the most notable retro titles of the year.
"Ramizes" serves as a direct, loving tribute to Konami’s iconic 1982 arcade classic, Tutankham. The newly released demo transports players back to the golden era of maze-crawling, action-adventure gameplay, optimized entirely for vintage Commodore hardware.
