First of the new game releases this week is the crazily excellent looking MAH by Retream. It's due for release today (1st March). The game is a joint production from @RetroGamerCD for the Cartridge edition and Protovision for the C64 Disk versions, and there will also be a digital download version available on RGCD's Itch.io page.



Developed by the consistently great developers of Retream; this game looks like no other you've ever played. @RetroGamerCD also produced cart editions of one of the earlier games: Quod Init Exit back in 2012. And it's one of the few modern release cartridge games I missed out on getting (any help appreciated!). We also covered Quod Init Exit IIm, which was one of the first games I reviewed after joining Indie Retro News. If those games are anything to go by, we are in for a treat! Check out the press release and youtube videos linked below. MAH will be PAL only, so if you live across the pond play on VICE or get yourself a PAL C64... and a new president.





Hi and welcome to the second instalment of my C64 weekly roundup. All the latest C64 news compiled into one weekly article of news. This week we've got new game announcements, new game releases, new C64 music and utilities. There is so much going on on the C64 right now, we might have to start doing these daily!Announced yesterday, the Zzap Annual 2019 Kickstarter will include perks for a brand new game from Stuart Collier (The Sky is Falling), Trevor Storey and Saul Cross. "It will be called 'Sizzler' and the premise of the game is to actually create a game by collecting the graphics, sound, code, packaging etc and getting it to 'Zzap! Towers' for Oliver Frey, Robin Hogg, Roger Kean and Jaz Rignall to review, hoping to get the 'Sizzler' rating." - Chris Wilkins.Also confirmed is the final Zzap annual should include 30 "new" C64 game reviews. Which seems like a decent amount of content for new era C64 stuff, considering it must also share print space with the classic content.
