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.

Axis - Escape the Aliens in this new Amstrad CPC port from Geco

The Amstrad CPC library continues to grow in 2026, as developer Geco releases Axis, an escape the Aliens maze game originally created for the Videoton TV Computer (TVC). The game’s journey began with Bery (Zsolt Bertók), who wrote the original version in TRSE (Turbo Rascal Syntax Error) for a 2024 game development competition. After Geco successfully converted the title to the Enterprise, community member @XeNoMoRPH suggested a port to the Amstrad CPC. Using the TRSE-generated ASM code, Geco has now brought the experience to CPC fans.
