What a cool game for the C64!

Silo 64 is a two player, simultaneous, action shooter extravaganza for the Commodore 64/128 personal computer!

The Earth has been destroyed by nuclear armageddon. Your family, as well as other families in your home town, took refuge in the local underground fallout shelter, Silo 64. Only your trusty robo-companion is all that’s left of your life before the blast. All your rations and supplies have been depleted. There’s just one thing left to do…

Venture out, and seek your fortune in the wasteland!

Cool 80ies

NesLP — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:22:22 +0000

Its really hard to resist to the appeal of the iPad and new iPhone. I’m addicted to my iPod & iPhone, but upgrading to these new toys will soon kill my wallet.

When I was a teen in the 80ies I couldn’t imagine that one day someone would be able integrate so many functions in such small devices.

Hero Core

NesLP — Fri, 14 May 2010 09:36:45 +0000

What a great indy game:

Flip Hero returns for the final battle against his nemesis, Cruiser Tetron – but can he really stop the reign of the machine warlord for all time? Like the first game, the graphics are black and white, the controls are simple and the gameplay is easy to learn. The nonlinear game world allows you to tackle the boss machines in nearly any order, or head straight for Tetron’s headquarters if you’re skilled enough.

The “Normal” difficulty is about as tough as the first Hero, while “Hard” features a different game world and enemy patterns that will tax even the veterans. You can also turn off the map, if you want to draw your own, and the optional language “Retro” mimics the interesting English translations of older games.

Beating the game on either difficulty unlocks a bonus screen with additional game modes, maps etc. Getting 100% computers, bosses and exploration will only add dots to the end of your savefile, rather than unlocking more stuff.

Serious Monkey Business

NesLP — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:38:05 +0000

Serious Monkey Business has been in the works since around November 1, 2007, when initial invitations were extended. Since that fateful beginning, artists have poured hundreds, if not thousands, of hours into the music until shaped into its final form of this album. It’s with much gladness that finally Geoffrey Taucer and I are able to bring this album to fruition and to all the listeners out there.

What’s up Sir?

NesLP — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:00:48 +0000

Sir Clive Sinclair released the ZX80 thirty years ago this week. A small plastic home computer that cost a mere £79.95 in kit form (and £99.95 assembled) that was to fundamentally change the ways in which we interacted with our TVs for ever.

In a recent interview to celebrate the thirty year anniversary, Sir Clive made the remarkable admission that he doesn’t use a computer these days and that he despises the distractions of email.

I can’t believe it
