Hi,
As a 8-bit C64 game coder in eaarly 90ties and currently mostly FE-focused dev, decided to give a go to a simple retro game archive. This is purely fun project - so i decided to post it to HN, mayne it'll resonate :)
This is missing Electrobody / Electroman<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_Man" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_Man</a><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GosPJVggVmI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GosPJVggVmI</a><p>As per burmistrz for c64, I remember playing a differently looking version, all mostly black? Maybe v1? <a href="http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=20415&d=36&h=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=20415&d=36&h=0</a>
I remember playing a pretty simple Basic game on my Commodore+4 called "Kubusiowe Litery" or "Kubusiowe Literki", unfortunately my cassette with the game got damaged, and I cannot find a source of it anywhere.
I feel sad that the game may get lost in time like tears in rain. ;(
From a Czechoslovak video game archivist, well done! We have our own databases of video games and even a dedicated person reviewing every single public release on 8-bit micros, but no website with such a clear presentation. Inspiring!
One thing that I don't miss about using Commodore 64 in 90s Poland was trying to decipher it without Internet :D.<p>I sure do miss the games and the sheer entertainment that it provided though. I wouldn't be here messing with software and cloud if it wasn't for that.
Awesome content. It's historical resource, because these are early days of polish game communities that along with demoscene gave grounds for polish game industry and projects like The Witcher
Very nice. Extra points for supporting light mode.<p>It may sound corny, but games from that era are a part of our cultural history, and they are part of the history of computing, which is still quite young. Keeping them around is a service to us all, so thank you.
I was searching for Franko and sure enough - it's there.<p>My friend's mom forbade him from playing it because it was too violent. Little did she know he had a few way more risky positions on that PC.
With all the new interest in point-and-click games — thanks to remasters of Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, … — Agent Mlíčňák (Teenagent) deserves a revival!
Great stuff. I always admire efforts like archive.org, textfiles.com and yours just fits well into that theme. The nature of today's Internet is that things disappear all too easy due to a simple redesign decision, people no longer care about "Cool URIs Don't Change" rule by Tim Berners-Lee. It's refreshing to see work like this and hope it will survive forever.
There was an old business game in text mode that I played on my Olivetti M24. I think it was named "Biznes" and was a super simple introduction to investing.
