8 Bit Civilizations Preview - Jaw dropping 8-bit demo remake of the classic CIV but on the C64!

For 25 years we've all been building empires to stand the test of time. Beginning on Amiga and PC in 1991, it's hard to believe we'd ever see the likes of this epic turn based 4X civ building game on anything less than 16 bits and at least a few hundred kilobytes of RAM. Teased early last year, the game has had a significant amount of work done since the early screenshots. Developer Fabian Hertel has released a fully playable demo for us all to enjoy and also help test by reporting bugs here.

Fire Breath - Lost in the Attic for 26 years finally released for the C64

Software developer Erik J. Hooijmeijer has released an old title he tried to release in 1990 on his alternative software development website: Ctrl-alt-dev. Sitting in his attic for 26 years, this fully playable platform game - inspired by my two favourite games: Bubble Bobble and Creatures - can be downloaded for free from his website, and not one, not two, but three trained versions from The Genesis Project, Laxity and Onslaught are also available on CSDB.

Donkey Kong + (X2016 Version) - Jumpman is back on the C64!

C64 owners are now even more spoilt for choice when it comes to their favourite home computer port of the arcade classic Donkey Kong.  As another faithful conversion has landed, and within one day, cracked and trained by the speedy crackers at Genesis Project.  Fans of the game will not be disappointed, as it's as close to the arcade original as we've seen on the platform.

Warp Drive +3 - Frogs in space for the C64!

Warp Drive is a little known Frogger clone, where instead of a frog, you control a space-ship attempting to traverse a rather congested patch of interstellar highway.  Released in 1984 by Computer Applications Inc., Warp Drive has been given a fresh release by The Genesis Project: Including an impressive loading tune, intro, and the assortment of cheats you'd expect.  The game features 1 & 2 player modes, high score, increasing level difficulty and a variety of enemy space ships.
