OneLoad64 Games Collection v5 Released

StatMat recently released Version 5 of his OneLoad64 Games collection. This is a collection of over 2000 Commodore 64 games all in .crt format. Instant loading, and still keeping the fantastic loading music and familiar title screens. No cracks, intros, or trainers in this collection, just pure quick load gaming! Here's a few words from StatMat.

OneLoad64 v5 has finally been shared with the subscribers of my YouTube channel and I will share more widely next weekend.

You can always get earlier access by subscribing if you wish (https://www.youtube.com/StatMatsVidz). It costs nothing and helps with me grow my little channel and help show your appreciation. I plan to be releasing some new content covering the process of adding games to OneLoad64 soon.

Thanks for everyone's support and understanding on the slight delay this year. The original plan had been to release at Christmas, but having discovered a few last minute issues, we thought it was best to hold off until they were resolved.

Happy New-Year to you all and here's to a great 2024 (including OL64 v6 of course!).

Robocop AGA Work in Progress, Commodore Amiga

Way back in early October 2021, Daniel Allsopp started work on an Amiga AGA version of the classic Amiga game Robocop. The engine runs in 64 colours, utilising 64 pixel wide sprites for the background parallax on level 1, and a 4x fetch mode. Graphics were converted from the arcade originals, and reduced down with Paint and Photoshop into various banks of 16 colours. Daniel recently shared his latest update, and it's looking amazing. As this is an ongoing work in progress project, there is no download, and it will be a long time before any kind of official release. However, you can follow Daniels progress from the thread on the English Amiga Board.

-Palette Optimisations
-Optimised RoboCop Sprites
-RoboCop Animations
-Reworked HUD
-Working Game Options

Castlevania AGA, Commodore Amiga

A remake of the 1986 original but with visuals inspired by Castlevania Chronicles and other non-8 bit titles in the series.  The  goal was to provide a playable and pure version of the original Castlevania but with an Amiga flavour. Not a port of the Sharp X68000 or PlayStation "Castlevania Chronicles" game, it only happens to use many level tiles and sprites from that game because it's a practical rendition of how OG Castlevania would look in 16-bit or 32-bit. For the Sharp X68000/Castlevania Chronicles Amiga project check this developer.

- Timerbased brickdrops
- In-game "shop"

The Chaos Engine on the Commodore 64? New Video!

A while back we shared some interesting News regarding a work in progress demo of The Chaos Engine for the Commodore 64. To be honest though, this could be just proof of what is possible on the humble Commodore 64. The coder (Marv) so far, has never mentioned that it will ever become a full game, but we can only hope! Marv recently shared his latest video showing shooting recoil effects, just like the original game! It's certainly an impressive achievement so far, let's hope there's more to come!

Added some shooting recoil to player one, just like in the real versions :) #c64 pic.twitter.com/enagg0k3mw
