Axis - Escape the Aliens in this new C64 port from AnyStone Games

The Commodore 64’s library has grown even bigger today with the official release of Axis, a high-stakes "escape" title developed by AnyStone Games. Born from the legacy of Zsolt Bertók’s (Bery) original Videoton TV Computer game of the same name, this modern C64 rendition was crafted using the powerful TRSE (Turbo Rascal Syntax Error) development tool. In a departure from the typical "run-and-gun" action found on the platform, Axis strips the player of all weaponry. There is no shooting or fighting here—our protagonist must rely entirely on speed, timing, and nerves of steel. The objective is simple but daunting: navigate through 10 perilous sectors to find the exit door that can only be opened with the right key card.

Aliens - ZX Spectrum retro review by Paul Davies

*Disclaimer - Phil Oakey is not affiliated with this release.

Space - a dark and cold place, where millions of stars decorate the atmosphere. Comets, shooting stars, planets, black holes and possibly Sandra Bullock can be found within it's bleak un-breathable blanket of mini fireballs (stars again). It's amazing really. It's so huge that we will never find out the full extent of it's majesty with it's seemingly non-stop existence. Just imagine yourself floating in space, taking in the enormity in it all, drifting past milky ways (tasty!), planets in the distance and the hazy weightlessness of it all and then argghh.... ALIENS!!!!

Space Ambush +1EJHD - The latest trainer for a classic C64 shooter

It's the weekend and what better way to spend it than playing the latest homebrew titles and or cracked/trainered C64 games. So today we have the Laxity +1EJHD cracked version of 'Space Ambush' to play; a 1986 C64 space shooter with a difference. While travelling through space your rather large space ship is under attack from Aliens, but unlike most shooters of it's era, you have two directional turrets to defend yourself. But that's not all this game has to offer, with Alien attack patterns, asteroid storms and cool bonuses! Certainly a great way to spend a Saturday.

Red Death - A free exploration game that feels like Prometheus

Unlike some people I know, I really enjoyed the movie Prometheus, with it's alien world, large spaceship and strange deadly life forms. So when I happened to come across Red Death by Zeitgeist, it certainly gave me that Prometheus vibe. According to Zeitgeist, Red Death is an exploration game of survival as you partake on a mission to Mars to uncover it's secrets.

Northwards of Roswell - A genetically mutated 3D RTS (Early Development)

I don't often mention games that are this early in development, yet Northwards of Roswell by Juan Gomez has peaked my interest.  When I first read about the game before I actually played it, it reminded me of the game "Genewars" that was first released on the PC by Bullfrog in 1996, which also had genetic mutations and a floating UFO. However when it comes to Northwards of Roswell the game is about aliens on Earth trying to find their way home and has you flying about the landscape beaming up the local wildlife. The developer has also noted that NOR will try to be a mix of XCOM and FTL.

Aliens vs Marine - AvP marine part ( REMAKE ) FPS

This is really looking rather interesting not just for fans of the aliens versus predator games but First Person Shooter players as well. Not much to go on at the moment though it does look damn fine, but any more information will be posted on Indie Retro News as soon we get it !

Here's a snippet from the developer

AVM is not a MOD anymore. Now I'm using freeSDK and I started textures-replacement process (all Doom3 and AvP2010 textures will be replaced with my own textures, which are very close to the original txs. This process is very time consuming.. In these days I'm finishing Derelict level and I started to work on AI (facehuggers will be first), rigging and animating. I'm planning to post a new video with a FIGHT on january or february 2013. Please be patient.
