The temptation to animate my bitmaps is sometimes high, but I think it then loses the illustrative nature I originally intended. A bit of accompanying SID jingle/ sfx, won't hurt though.

Some bitmaps of C64 Barbarian He-Man Edition. A little idea I had - but unfortunately would take quite some coding tricks to pull off!

Title Screen* for a personal C64 game project I've started working on.
I want to make the best looking C64 game possible. I'm hoping I may get a programmer/dev on board if the assets are enticing enough :)

C64 Effects I think are cool:
#1
... Just this few seconds of scrolling perfection - Not from a game this time - Coma light 13 demo by Oxyron - If it were at all possible to use this effect within a game it should be 100% be attempted.

One of my Favourite bits of C64 parallax scrolling in the game - Turrican 2. It's not the prettiest part of the game, but I love that background layer! (clipped from World of Longplay: youtube)

Xenon 2. A stylish shmup from the Bitmap Bros. It's very sad to me that the C64 didn't get a conversion.

game level tile sets I think are classy. No. 9: Spooky. Lovely use of colour, pattern and contrast with strong style. Shame its a flick screen, double shame it's in a preview. Classy effort nonetheless.

Street Surfer C64 - 1986 - back when Skate boarding was frankly pretty cool. This game has a unique aspect to it - the music speeds up in line with your speed! loved that.

Now there is some lovely C64 sprite animation - those Jelly fish - super organic - Blood Money: Smart move making them swim 45' too, maximises their width in the sprite box.

Best C64 bosses! Any contenders? Post them here. I'll start with Myth - This boss is kinda cool looking, it's big, moves around a bit and has a couple of nice animated touches.

C64 mixed mode, some screens from my now abandoned Ruins level. It was a BIG map, some bits worked, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and say, I can do better - and just start over

Turrican 2. One of the greatest games to grace the C64. Manfred Trenz is a genius imo.

game level tile sets I think are classy. No. 1. Myth. What can you say about this game? You have to admire the sheer artistry and attention to detail. These simple corridor tiles are a fine example of the C64 gfx genius of Bob Stevenson. Zoom in and check them out!

Iconic game for the C64 - Creatures - 1990 Apex. This section really shows off it's use of splits to get more colours on the screen and further enhance the already great graphics.

This is created in C64 char mode. Due to the limitations, colour splits are coded to gain the extra colours you see here. The landscape is set up to parallax scroll.

C64 Powerdrift 1990. Great racing games on the

are few and far between and this one is widely considered one of the best. It retains the fun gameplay of the original and the wizardry behind the engine is obvious. Also, lets not forget the tune rocks!

Fuzzball C64 1992 by System 3. This looks and plays like a great little platformer, alas it was finished but never released.. such a shame. We just have a couple of levels that escaped.

platformer?
Look no further than CJ's Elephant Antics! A great little budget title that hits the mark visually, sonically and gameplay wise. Probably the best £2.99 a kid could spend on C64 goodness in 1991.

1989, Image works. One of the harder C64 Shooters Imo, fair but harsh in areas. I loved the strong and unusual visual style though and it's super use of of colour. Also that iconic tune is a banger! (overlaid on the gameplay here for your viewing pleasure)

Turrican 3 on the C64 by Smash Designs. Released in 2004, it introduced an absolutely banging in-game soundtrack to the series along with sticking to that classic gameplay. Personally I enjoyed it a lot

Black Cathedral: The Wild Wood. Another Teaser pic. In this case you can choose a route through the game... down the rabbit hole to the Cathedral Catacombs, or through the Graveyard to the Main Cathedral itself.

One of the best bits about creating Skald bitmaps was the chance to design all sorts of monsters and their atmospheric habitats. Here are a couple I enjoyed making - but there are loads more scattered through out the game to discover!

DJ Puff's Volcanic Capers - One of those super cute C64 platformers. I have to say I love it - The game is so well made. Only thing it's missing are some proper Boss encounters, oh and another level or two wouldn't have hurt imo, leaves you wanting more, give it a play!

Denniffia 1996 64'er C64. 1st level: Looks great, sounds great, but it's a good example of forgetting to include some gameplay. Level 2 and 3 don't look quite so special. It's a shame, as I love the level 1 aesthetics.

"Reminds me of the time I caught the measles and started hallucinating" - A fair Youtube comment on Hysteria 1987 C64!😂Super music and I enjoyed this in the day, it's simple but compelling stuff. Later levels are quite varied, but I like the Classical Greek theme of level 1 most

Black Tiger 1989. This platformer doesn't look great, music is OK and gameplay is fairly standard.... but I have to say it was quite enjoyable once you got into it, ended up playing it quite a lot tbh.

Rolling Ronny 1992 C64. Starbyte. Pick up a package and get delivering! It's a polished and fun game that doesn't get the attention it deserves imo. Saw some signs of a Rolling Ronny 2 in the works recently, at least, I saw some fresh sprites. VERY news exciting if this is true!

Let's take a few moments to appreciate this. Gently bubbling water is heated on C64 power supplies while rival Demo groups are added to the pot! Looks lovely and sounds even better (Speech sfx). One of my favourite parts of any demo. Coma land by Censor Design and Oxyron.

- 1992. If you liked CJ's Elephant Antics, then this game will be right up your street. Personally I actually prefer it - the core gameplay seems tighter and I like the little fella and his fire breathing mechanics. Overall a very fun game!
