This happened to my micro switch joystick for TheC64…anything worth doing to save it? It hasn’t snapped, just detached. Still works but keeps falling off.

Only took about 35 years 😂😂 Absolutely in bits that the final boss, the fabled Shadow of the Beast, is a toenail 💀

Really lovely piece with Sean. Some days I just can't believe it's been 35 years. At times I can even still clearly remember the smell of the magazine and the excitement of reading a new issue... ..and then getting up from my desk chair, I suddenly groan. So yeah, it probably has been 35 years 😆

❤️ It’s now 35 years since issue 1 of CF went on sale 😱 👌🏻 In one of our personal favourite pieces from the Archive, deputy editor Sean Masterson tells us about the road to launch: 🔗 commodoreformatarchive.com/the-sean-mas...

Transfer deadline day.

My original (obviously!) collection of #CommodoreFormat mags from the early 90s. Issues 1 through 20, I am curiously missing issues 21, 22 and 23, then I have 24 through 33. Where the prittle jar of doom dada dun day are those three? 👀 Bizarre Inc. indeed. #C64 magazine treasure!

From over on X

It’s all very authentic, at least 😄

Definitely one of his more unusual fights.

It’s coincidentally 30 years since Escom purchased the rights to make C64s and Amigas, although not the Commodore brand itself. Escom itself went under a year later: commodoreformatarchive.com/issue-review...

This looks very nice indeed.

Exile had a physics engine years before Half-Life 2. Fire, water, wind, gravity - you weren’t just fighting the enemies

This is a great resource for all things Commodore Format, and I have just done my donation for this year to help with the site fees in order to keep the site active. The editor is one of the good guys too, and have been fortunate enough to have some articles published there.

Our archive of hundreds of interviews, features and scans is the result of over a decade’s work. It costs about £100 in total a year to keep what I hope you think is a wonderful and unique resource online. If you can spare a few quid it genuinely helps: commodoreformatarchive.com/donate-and-k...

Looks really nice, this.

“There’ll never be Sonic for C64”, the mags told disappointed letter writers in 1991. Pah! A mere 30 year wait sure put egg on their faces, eh?

Snow joke.

What #C64 games are there in which the main sprite will look at the “camera”, wave or otherwise communicate with the player? Thinking like Little Computer People style.

My low fi, weird, dreamy, retro games TikTok isn’t getting much exposure in the UK ‘cos I don’t live there and the algorithm needs some strong signal from Blighty. If you can give me a follow or any engagement at all it does help me to hit an audience that cares ❤️ www.tiktok.com/@widowofbiel...

Been quietly working on something a bit weird and low fi and dreamy on TikTok. C64 fans will enjoy it. I’d love to have you there ❤️ www.tiktok.com/@widowofbiel...

Hey folks, this is me. If you need words I can do them for you. I promise they don’t read like a toaster having a stroke. Blog posts from as little as $20.

“How bad should I make the logo, boss?” “If it’s even symmetrical I won’t pay.”

I worked on a few N64 FIFA games. Naming your team BuryFC (my team) in one of them gave you a developer’s team with maxed stats. And I’m one of the players. It’s so long ago I don’t even remember which FIFA version it was.

What’s an unusual or funny cheat mode you remember? On Monty Python’s Flying Circus, you can get infinite lives by entering ANNE CHARLESTON. on the high score table (remember the space and full stop!)

This looks like it’ll be a belter. Best of luck, Andrew.

“And then they released the C64GS, which they said was meant to compete with the consoles. But come on, guys. It was a regular C64 without a keyboard. A Kelly Sumner crack pipe dream.”

Good evening, ‘64sters.

Stuntman Seymour is another ‘90s Codies game using the CJ platform engine. It isn’t as good and the gameplay doesn’t develop from the first screen but it’s good natured, easy-going fun. Nice to relax with.

Hey folks, this is me. Any spreading of the word (and commissions) would be grand.

Real talk: I’ve lost my main source of income and need work. I’m a freelance writer. If you need YouTube or podcast scripts, feature articles, blogs or anything else please get in touch. Any topic. All the work on CF and at bangretromag.substack.com is me if you want examples. ❤️

That he is. When he took the time out to thank me for fixing one of his C64 soundtracks for HVSC, I felt massively humble (and thanks for @commodoreformat.bsky.social for making that happen.) The full story here: commodoreformatarchive.com/indiana-jone...
