News -

Tim – Space Pizza! - New ZX Spectrum Next game is in development by Gary Pinkett who we know as my good friend Gary. The game started off as a simple thrust style game but has been developed very much with another game in mind, Space Taxi. The game takes place on different mazes in caves where you fly your ship around the cave to deliver a set number of pizzas to the waiting miners on each pad. Developments are coming thick and fast, including transporters to take you to different parts of the caves, time attack mode, high score and for online Next’s your scores will be published in leaderboards. Lots more to come on this one and Cody, Eric and Tim will be testing this game as it moves along in development over the coming months. A more in-depth take is being covered on this month's TTWT as I chat with Gary about developing the game.

https://www.retronews.com/hardcourt-balls-announced/

Tim – PiMiga5 by Chris Edwards has been released, likely to be the last version. This is a BareMetal build of an Amiga emulator system that can be used on lots of different Intel or Arm based systems. It comes in an image you upload to an SD card or USB stick to boot from, you can also install it on an SSD.

Not only does it provide Amiga emulation, but within it, it also emulates early Mac systems and allows you to run early Mac games. You do however need to provide kickstart ROMs to get it working, but if you own Amiga Forever from Colanto then you already have them! Its a great way to breathe new life into old hardware by turning it in to an Amiga.

Tim - Sams Journey from the wonderful people at Knights of Bytes takes a step closer to coming to you on the NES. Pre orders are now open on the PolyPlay website. A disappointment that at the moment there is no USA distribution announced yet. However, you can pre order for the sum of 60 Euros for the NES and they also are doing a Famicom version. There is also the Ultimate Edition for 180 Euros

(Cody) - Evercade Showcase Vol. 2 - Indie Special

Tim – Our show friend and retro game maker legend Juan J. Martínez has done it again! This time Juan is delighting us with a fantastic little platformer for DOS... yes that’s right a DOS game! The game is Gold Mine Run! Its heavily influenced by Night Knight on the MSX another game by Juan... but that’s no bad thing as that’s also a great game. Check it out on Juan’s website, if you do download and play it, don’t forget to throw Juan a few bucks / pounds / euros his way on his Kofi site. He does not do it for the money, but it helps to show appreciation for his continued efforts making games for us mere game playing mortals that cant code for toffees! It’s a Bobby Dazzler (also a good name for Juan’s next game!)

A new homebrew has been relased by Fuzzybad (Mastodon: @fuzzybad@mastodon.social) called PET Light Cycles this is a take on the Tron light cycle game. Not only has this game got great use of the PET graphics but also has sound and music on the title screen.

This is available to registered users of OS 3.2 - Doug (10 Min Amiga Retro Cast) has already popped out a video all about it.

News -

(Tim) C64 release bonanza! - Out this month are some awesome C64 games and previews

Empire Strikes Back C64 Fan version from MegaStyle -

40 years after the Atari and Intellivision games were released, Megastyle is now proud to present to you: The Commodore 64 fan version of the original Parker Brothers game "Empire Strikes Back". We have tried to remake the Atari 2600 version into a Commodore 64 version, but also added our own touch to the game.

https://megastyle.itch.io/esb-by-megastyle

NEW RALLY-X (news item from Indie Retro News) - The original game Rally-X was an overhead maze game released in the 1980's by Namco in which you drove around a maze like screen collecting flags for a high score and avoiding other cars or well play placed rocks. This latest version however by Jake79 is not only coming on really nicely and sounds fantastic even at this preview stage, but the game is well on its way to completion, and we may have a final version in the near future.

Munchkin 64 - Re-live Munchkin, the classical maze-eater (also known as K.C. Munchkin on the Magnavox Odyssey 2) ported to the legendary 8-bit computer Commodore 64 by Pretzel Logic

Comes packed not only with the original game (including random mazes and maze editor), but also ten user mazes and an arcade version with 96 different levels, 58 mazes and new challenges for Munchkin along the way.

(Eric) - “Nothing” is a ZX Spectrum 128K port of the PC game created by JoelLikesPigs for the Ludum Dare 45 competition.

“You start with nothing.” The game takes the theme quite literally, by starting with no controls, no music, and no sound, and then rewarding your progress by gradually releasing various upgrades, some of which are crucial, many frankly useless, but still fun to discover 🙂

(Tim) - BREAKING NEWS AS WE RECORD... Sonic the Hedgehog looks to be coming to the C64 and maybe out as early as the week before Christmas. However, there is a catch! You will need a C64 / 128 with a 256k RAM Expansion Unit. Should be good for people who have the Ultimate 1541 II or the Ultimate 64. This has been developed by MrSID and details were released today on the Lemon64 Forum. It will be a free download as commercializing it will attract the attentions of Sega.
