BIONIK GRANNY RETURNS
Progamming: Richard
Graphics: Richard, JSL
Sound Effects/Music: Richard

Who would have thought of it? A remake of probably the most laughed at game of all time. Back in 2010, just for a laugh. I played Bionic Granny, and found it to be pretty much naff. I thought that I should create a tribute game and show how the game would have turned out. This is a much more playable and fun little game. Fast forward 14 years, and the cantankerous old lady has traveled to the future. Society has changed a lot. While she was heading down to the local supermarket, pushers and shovers kept on pushing her out of her way. Now in order to solve the problem. Granny sets off waiting outside each place she hates, and is ready to whack the folk hard with her cane.

BLAP 'N BASH Revisited
Progamming: Richard
Graphics:Richard
Music: Richard

A slightly more complex, and enhanced version of the weird breakout game Blap 'n Bash, with a few in game improvements, as well as nicer graphics. Redesigned levels, etc. There was originally an older version of Blap'n Bash embedded into the source code, but sadly a lot of the code for that particular version got messed up. So at the end I decided to delete the older BLAP 'N BASH code, tidy things up a little and give you this special 16KB Cartridge version, which I made specially for the RGCD 16KB Cartridge competition back in 2016.

ASSEMBLER FORMAT: C64 STUDIO / ACME

A much more enhanced version of Blastopia, this time featuring, brand new tunes, awesome newly remixed levels, stunning graphics by Saul Cross, 4x4 tile map based smooth scrolling. It's one of these fun shmups, in which you must fight against swarms of aliens, rescue camels and hit the landing pad, before destroying an alien planet. This game features lazer gates, starfields and some char cool scrolling effects inside some of the background on some stages. This game was entered in RGCD's 16KB cartridge compo 2019.

Gyro Run is a fun party hi score attack challenge, which was made for the CSDB Fun Compo 2021. This game is a fun collect and avoid game with a big difference. You control a spinnning top, which has to pickup treats that appear on screen in order to score points. The player is controlled by using a dial at the bottom of the screen, and will constantly move that direction until fire is pressed at a different direction. Also from out of nowhere deadly skulls appear on screen. You must avoid those at all cost. Should you hit a skull, a life will be lost (Unless of course you are playing the hard game option).

INVERT
Progamming: Richard
Graphics: Richard, Achim Volkers, JSL
Music: Richard

This is a C64 puzzle game I originally wrote back in 2013 for the second RGCD 16KB Cartridge Competition. The game made it to 9th place in the competition. I wanted to expand the game further, by adding some final touches to it. Those included an intro, level editor and end sequence. The game concept is pretty much a simple one. You are a blue blob, who has been captured by an evil monster. He is transported into an arena, in which he has to unlock each cell, simply by lighting up all of the reversible tiles. Unfortunately the monster guards, the Chatterz want to make your blob's quest even harder. Simply by throwing bombs as the run around on top of the floor. You also have to face time. This game was quite addictive to some of the gamers, now I am very pleased to bring to you the binary and C64Studio project with source code.

KILLER SAUCERS
Progamming: Richard
Graphics: Richard
Sound Effects/Music: Richard

Killer saucers is a single screen multi-level game in which you have to defend your city from incoming aliens. This game was originally started as part of theC64 challenge during the evenings and weekends of October 2020 - December 2020. I started coding the game in Dave Weaver's 6510 given away with Commodore Format issue 45, but got myself into a right mess. At the end, the code was salvaged and then converted to C64Studio. Although it already exists in the games download page already. You can still download the complete project from here.

LET'S INVADE
Progamming: Richard
Graphics: Richard
Sound Effects/Music: Richard

Let's Invade is my own tribute to the classic Space Invaders game. It mixes some visual effects with trance music, and fun retro game play. The game story is where planet Earth has been sucked into a deep mysterious void, and the aliens start coming out of the mother ship. In order to stop the alien invasion. The player has to fight 40 different waves of alien invaders, and avoid the aliens crashing down to the earth's surface. The aliens will not move a complete row, before they drop, to make things more challenging. The game uses multiple raster beams, which generate more than 8 sprites on screen. We all know that the Commodore 64 can only display 8 sprites in a row. It doesn't mean the the C64 can only display 8 sprites on screen. With aid of raster splits that trick is well and truly possible. As you can see when you play this game.

LET'S INVADE 2
Progamming: Richard
Graphics: Richard
Sound Effects/Music: Richard

A Space Invaders style shoot 'em up sequel, featuring options for multicolour sprites, a double buffered screen, and also slightly harder game play. The double buffer was used for the scrolling void, and also the alien bullets. Fight wave after wave against the alien invaders as they come trundling towards the ground surface. This game features a list options, which you can select from the menu. Please be warned, that this game consists of STROBE and FLASHING screen effects, which may be unsuitable for some gamers. The purpose is to match the music's beat to the flashing voids.

Full release versions (DISK+TAPE, CARTRIDGE) included

ASSEMBLER FORMAT: C64 STUDIO / ACME

A simple Crazy Comets inspired tutorial shoot 'em up I made for Scene World magazine, back in 2013. Converted from a real C64 Turbo Assembler to a C64studio project. This tutorial is a game project that was based for beginners.

ASSEMBLER USED: TURBOASSEMBLER (Converted to C64Studio)

A mind boggling puzzle game, inspired by Mind Maze, Reaxion and a few other similar games, but this one is even more puzzling. In this game you must eliminate all of the colour-changing buttons within a time limit. There's also a built in editor inside this game, whcih allows the user to design and create their own levels.

STAR HAWX
Progamming: Richard Bayliss
Graphics: Richard Bayliss, Hugues (Ax!s) Poisseroux
Sound Effects/Music: Richard Bayliss

This is a fun arcade shoot 'em up, which was first released as part of the Zzap 64 Micro Action Magazine cover mount (Issue 4) which you can support via the Zzap 64 patreon campaign. Star Hawx is a fun fast paced blaster inspired by the good old fashioned arcade games of the early 1980's. Does Galaxian ring a bell? I thought so. The player has to shoot the evil Star Hawx, who are invading the galaxy. Shooting eggs will award your shields and bonus points. This game was made during the summer of 2021 and got released to Zzap 64's cover mount late September. Now you can check out the whole game and source code, just for fun.

Trance Sector [Competition Edition]
Progamming: Richard
Graphics:Richard
Music/SFX: Richard

Back in 2013, a special competition edition was developed after the Psytronik Software release of this game. This is a fun collect and avoid game, with plenty of special features. Guide your ship around each screen and pick up and destroy the pods that are stored in each of the 32 factories, owned by the Cygma Elite. Once all of the pods have been picked up. You will move onto the next level. However there are intelligent seeker missiles which will attempt to defeat you. There are also other obstacles in which you must watch out for. Beware of the jail, panic button, and walls. Those will cause you a lot of pain.

Vortex Crystals (full version)
Progamming: Richard
Graphics:Richard, Alf Yngve
Music/SFX: Richard & Joachim Wijnhoven

Vortex Crystals is a full single screen run and gun platform game based in the future. Vortex Crystals is a game in which you play a SWAT crack team agent, who has been sent into a high security building in order to pick up crystals and destroy them before the robotic aliens capture you. The game requires a good skill of jumping and blasting and the only possible way out would be to open the last door or death. The game also features some great music composed by Joachim, which I ported to GoatTracker (That was the hardest part of the project as I don't enjoy making cover tunes). Also there are some custom made sound effects which I programmed in myself specially for this game. (Source included). Please note that all level screens in game were crunched in Exomizer's -l mem function.

ENHANCED S.E.U.C.K GAMES

DARK FORCE
Progamming: Sensible Software, Richard
Graphics:Richard, Alf Yngve, JSL
Music: Richard

My tribute game, to Light Force. This is a vertical scrolling SEUCK game, in which you fight against the alien fleet and must save the universe from being destroyed. Simply shut down the laser system, by firing at all of the generators before the laser is fired and destroys everything. Features a brand new front end with high score table, additional in game enhancements and a few other cool features. How easy was it to link player 1 with player 2 to form the ship? Well, wasn't too hard to be honest :)

FORGOTTEN FOREST V1.1
Progamming: Sensible Software, Jon Wells, Richard
Graphics:Alf Yngve
Music: Richard

First originally released as an entry for the Official C64 SEUCK Compo, a few years back and also, winning the competition. Forgotten Forest is an enhanced SEUCK game creation, which got released as a bonus game on the Shoot 'Em Up Destruction Set #2 by Psytronik Software back in 2011. Alf wanted to do a Halloween release, so I decided to quickly add a couple more features at short notice. Play the role of a hero, armed with a flame thrower. Your mission is to enter the forgotten forest, find the demon and destroy it, before it devours any more souls. Can you journey safely through the forest and fight the evil creatures of darkness, or will you become one of the fallen?

OTHER FUN PROJECTS

Micro Trance (Music and Player)

Back in 2019, there was an intro creation competition. The competition was split into two different categories. There was the normal 16KB intro competition, where memory could range between $0800-$4000, and there was the 4K competition, which had more restrictive rules. I did an intro called "Out of 4K Memory", which no other music I did in other players fit. So as an alternative solution I had to code my very own music player routine. It was quite painstaking and a mission, but I managed to make a tune that fit the intro. The music was 100 programmed in Turbo Assembler. Recently I was asked if I could provide the code in C64Studio format. Well, fear not. Here it is.
