You may recognise the name Paul Koller, he is responsible for the awesome C64 game Luftrauserz. Over on Twitter, one of our many followers of @CommodoreBlog contacted us today and shared two teaser tweets by Paul.

My #c64 port of Spelunky is coming along rather nicely, if I may say so… @mossmouth pic.twitter.com/7vr4VoU2kl — Paul Koller (@paulko64) January 25, 2018

Whip animation and collision detection correctly implemented. Expect some in-game footage soon! — Paul Koller (@paulko64) January 24, 2018

For those of you that don’t know, Spelunky is an open source indie retro platformer created by Derek Yu and was released as freeware for Microsoft Windows. It was also remade for the Xbox 360 in 2012, and then ported to the PS3, PlayStation Vita and then back to Microsoft Windows.

The player controls a spelunker who explores a series of caves while collecting treasure, saving damsels, fighting enemies and dodging traps. The caves are procedurally generated, making each run through the game unique. You can purchase the Steam version for £10.99 here: store.steampowered.com.

Here at Vintage is the New Old, we are far more interested in Paul’s C64 port and judging by the video, it’s gonna be a sure hit!
