As we said before, while some of you including myself, are still looking forward to playing the upcoming game of Leap!; A high quality C64 title via KnifeGrinder which is a tribute to Bounder; a game released in 1985 by Gremlin Graphics. There's another game that's worth checking out when it releases today through itch io, and that's Lester, a high quality metroidvania for the C64 that puts you in control of the AR2020, a robot sent to liberate a space station taken over by an evil AI.
As noted by the creator "Lester takes inspiration from modern MSX Metroidvanias like Ghost / Minighost and the old Konami's productions like The maze of Galious. Furthermore, even though it originally started as a hello world project fiddling with a TRSE tutorial. Within 3 years it became a graphic adventure engine, a zelda-like engine, a single screen platform engine, an attempt to convert Minighost and then a standalone game". So yes if you have a Commodore 64, I'd highly recommend checking this game out as soon as it's available for download!
FEATURES :
- - An entire space station to explore
- - 60+ rooms full of metroidvania action
- - Upgradable weapon, special powers, map and inventory
- - 11 tracks OST
- - THEC64 (Maxi and mini) compatibility
