“Bear?” asked Hedgehog. “What’s that you’ve got there?”

“It’s a new C64 game from Pond”. Bear said with a

big smile on his face, “and it’s got ME in it, look!”

“Oh”, squeaked Hedgehog. “Can I have a go?”

Help Bear collect fruit for the winter in this new platform game featuring simultaneous music and sfx. Face 60 enemy types while exploring 60 screens spread over 6 unique areas!

They say the best things in life are free, seems they really are, as Pond Software have announced on their Facebook page recently that a brand new C64 title will be released on Christmas Eve. “The Bear Essentials” is a new platform game which we have eagerly been waiting to get our paws on for some time. The game will be a free download and the physical disk version will be available for £10 early next year. If you are interested in the physical version, send an email with the topic BEAR to shop@pondsoft.uk and they will contact you once it is ready!
