[justaguythinking]

[CoolDudeClem]

So this can't be played on a normal C64?

[rockfistus]

@thorgallpl Yeah, it's C64 extended.... God forbid we should ever have to suffer this way. /me throws a bag of boners at thorgallpl

[giovannibulgari]

looks like R type

C=64 with Super CPU = Super Power! (I always knew the little 8-bit treasurebox had it in it.) How about a Turbo Charge kind of game with these kind of graphics??

Looks like more competitive than SNES :))

@cosine303 Using modern terminology, the C64 uses a "shared RAM" setup where the system and graphics RAM coexist in the same space. The graphics take-up about 4 kilobytes, leaving 60 kilobytes for the programmer

.

When you run GEOS it takes full advantage of all that space

מטורף..... משחק חדש שיוצא לקומודור 64 (כן כן , תאמינו או לא) .

זה לא סתם קומודור, אלה אחד שהמעבד שלו שודרג...

ממש מטורף...

[cosine303]

thats probably not the case. the c64 isn't 64k really (look at the bytes free on boot up ;-) ) it's 38k, UNTIL you turn off basic. their stuff may have had a realtime de-pack routine in runtime. e.g. the level map was compressed etc. but yep they made decent things along with folk like chris butler, john twiddy , archer maclean and MANY more.
