Thanks so much @Sven Dännart, this means the world to me. Pls, could you upload another similar video for "Amiga" or "MSX/MSX2"? Thanks a lot and regards.
This is amazing and hilarious at the same time. There's some great, original stuff here as well as a few good laughs. I especially enjoyed 'Fire!' for looking like those LCD-games, we had in the early 80's. Great work all!
Yes, the c64 community is very active, specially after the release of the mini and maxi versions. I also really like the quality they achieved, it´s inspiring.
@@JanoTuotanto Yes that is true a lot of games looked and sounded worse back in the days due to bad cables, speakers, and screens, something I didn't really think of.
One of the most amazing aspects of the C=64/128 were the modem games (like Modem Wars!) Modem games were so advanced on the C=64, that the IBM "compatibles" didn't catch up till 10 years later. I remember using my 1200baud CBM modem to play chess and Modem Wars with a friend of mine across the nation. That was just so mind blowing. It's sad that newer C=64 games don't make use of the amazing modem hardware of the time.
5:03 Boulderdash Junior is for sure not a self-programmed Game. It was made with the Boulderdash Construction Kit from 1986. But i respect the enthusiasm.
These games are amazing !!. I think its high time the C 64 had a revival. The programming language was really good and many of us have their memories entangled with The C64. So knowing new games and programmes are still being made for The C64 is really very encouraging. It was one of the most powerful computers in the 80s era and a lot more can be done in this domain development. Now new versions are also being released for C64 and The Amiga computers.
@@Tina.Di.Napoli Only if you never tried the more advanced and also faster BASIC interpreters that existed in the late 1970s and early 80s :D (Such as Cromenco Basic, HP Basic, ABC 80 Basic, ABC 800 Basic II, Acorn Atom Basic, or BBC Basic.)
@@herrbonk3635 I'm pretty sure most of us would agree 6502 Assembly was "The programming language" for the C64, Vic, Atari, Apple, and other 8-bit computers of the era.
@@curcumin417 Well, not me though :D I never really regarded assembler as an actual programming language (like Algol, Simula, or Modula), more like processor code. At "high school", we had some dudes doing arcade like games in the semi compiling BASIC of the ABC 800. And I had also used Acorn Atom, BBC Micro and HP computers. So I was genuinely dissapointed when I tried M$ BASIC for the first time, i.e. the one used in the Apple II and VIC 64. It was slow and simplistic, and also quite buggy. I personally programmed the Z80 much more than the contemporary 6502, both as a hobbyist and professionally. The 6502 was mainly the latter for my part. (We interfaced the Apple II to our newly developed (Z80 based) lab equipment. The Apple II was common at companies and universities at the time. But I had to translate most BASIC into 6502 asm when I ported it from ABC 80 to Apple II, thanks to M$.)
There's a real charm to real 8bit games that newer indi games just don't have. I was never a C64 owner (zx spectrum) but the fact people are pushing these machines today blows my mind, and the games are just amazing.
I'm a game maker for C64 and I published my first C64 game (Planet Balls) on 2020. I can confirm this. I rediscovered the C64 after 30 years and I've fullfilled my old desire to make a game for C64 that I wasn't able to do when I was younger (I had my C64 when I was 8 years old).
The first game, "Old Tower", actually looks a little better on the ZX Spectrum than on the VIC-64. That didn't happen too often in the 80s. (And the ZX implementation also uses a few tricks to get there.)
Somebody really needs to come up with new idea for instruments. Until Katabatia it all sounds like cliche Commodore 64 music, so hats of to the Katabatia authors for doing their own thing!
I wonder how many of these games are the result of 40-year old source code having been dredged up, and how many of these are brand new source code? By the way, for Boulderdash fanatics, 95% of the original (commercial) Motorola 68K source code for Rockford on the Amiga can be found on the Fred Fish collection.
@@svendaennart Thanks, originally I developed this game for Android (if you are curious: czcams.com/video/95rLaNjrBQQ/video.html) and then I've decided to port it to C64. It was challenging, but I've fulfilled my old dream to make a game for my first computer (that I never forget).
These are really nice games and the pixel art is beautiful and everything, but most of these are just arcade style games. C'mon people. There are so many better genres of game that can be made for the c64. Let's get some RPGs like Bard's Tale and Point and Click Adventures like Maniac Mansion. Or some games like Mail Order Monsters or Racing Destruction. Or weird shit like Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Things that you couldn't play in an arcade.
Bra att ni inte tog med "8 Bit Guys" Spel. Vilket han själv påstår att, det är det bästa spelet som någonsin gjorts för C64 och det flesta andra 8 Bits maskiner.
I suspect that I've forgotten more tricks and techniques in programming the C64 than most people knew. This may sound conceited, but I also know that there were so many very talented people that knew so much more than I ever did. This kind of nostalgia makes me really miss those days, looking at effects and working out how to do them, but also having such respect for those that did them in the first place. It's odd that I never really hankered after these days but I suspect that this was because I got distracted by the Amiga instead... [fires up the C64 emulator yet again to enjoy gameplay over visuals... :) ]
pengo music in old tower... awesome ^^
and great games, thx for this vid !
the awesome dirty sound of 10print racer... i remember it is from a demo.
12:00 The "music routine" by lft is actually the main part of his famous 256 byte intro "A mind is born".
There are some talented people out there programming for older systems still.
Thanks so much @Sven Dännart, this means the world to me. Pls, could you upload another similar video for "Amiga" or "MSX/MSX2"? Thanks a lot and regards.
Did anyone else notice that the game, Fire!, was just a port of a old Nintendo Game & Watch game called Fire?
This is amazing and hilarious at the same time. There's some great, original stuff here as well as a few good laughs. I especially enjoyed 'Fire!' for looking like those LCD-games, we had in the early 80's. Great work all!
Very few people will understand. 👍🏻🙂
So impressive to see many quality new games for the C64. Some belters here!

SOme legends, some cults never die.
The Commodore 64 is one of them.
Amazing! Love that content is still being pushed out for the c64
High sophisticated games in 2020 - nice for 8-Bit fans.
Nice games, would also be nice if you listed in the description where they can be found.
Awesome. missed a lot of them. gotta ckeck them out!
Many of the games on this list would have been A+ rated games back in the day. Good job all around.
Hell yes, many of them also really remind me of some of the games that I absolutely admired and enjoyed
these look incredible for c64! great jobs people!
Thanks for this!
Haha, Drunken Chopsticks :D
Ultima IV... Summer Games... Geos!!!
Oh that tower song brings back memories!
Freaky fish is a game in would totally have loved as a kid when i played with my C64
wow, they look amazing.
Fart Star Software - Damn that's a catchy name...
Amazing!
Oh my god, Atic Atac on the C64, this must be a parallel universe!!!
One where, for some reason, it's not possible to leave the entrance hall.
so nice there still making games for c64
They all look freaking good. Cannot remember any C-64 games that looked and sounded this good back in the days really.
BS, there were plenty
@@kojak8403 Boulder Dash never looked and sounded this good on TV-set through antenna cable
@@JanoTuotanto Yes that is true a lot of games looked and sounded worse back in the days due to bad cables, speakers, and screens, something I didn't really think of.
@@JanoTuotanto - I have a C64 connected via S-Video and the late old games look pretty much like these in the video.
@@kojak8403 Well guess I mostly moved on to Amiga, or Nintendo by the time of the late old games.

Game and Watch, what spectacular fun they are!
@@The_Last_Ninja I still have 5 of those, still working. :D
@@Arsenico971 I have 18 of them and yes they are still working ☺️

wow i didn't recognize alot of these
Cool 👍🥂🎩
I bet that if people are making games in 2020 for C64, they do it because they are having so much fun making these games, as opposed to playing them.

Use timestamps in the description, man.
Al bert is the old Q bert arcade from 80's
Haha! More like "C64 Copyright Infringements in 2020" :D :D
But Commodore 64 is an old computer of the 80s. How's possible all this...now?
There are still a lot of hobbycoders and retro enthusiastics making it possible :D

It looks like "Nemesis".

Where can I buy the soundtrack?
There are 25 games in this video. Wich soundtrack are you talking about?
where have you been you in my childhood? And why company like U.S. Gold make games instead of you guys? :-(
So true :D
Tell the person playing 'Atic Atak' that you do have to go THROUGH doors....ty

What about Planet Balls? It was released on 2020.
It seems that I really missed it, I´m sorry :D What a nice game, looks interesting indeed.

2020? 😢😱
Heey, Impossible Mission deserves a remake!
There have been several remakes, but none of them approach the majesty of the C-64 original.
Katabatia is made by Jeffrey Ouellette (malcontent), not Genesis Project
ohh, maybe I mixed it up. thanks.
2:20 That is just an 1942 remake

Boulderdash in 2020? It is old as world. New levels does not mean new game.
