Fancy a game that doesn't just have a great starting soundtrack, a brilliant intro and turn based combat for up to 4 players? Then make sure to check out Windigo Productions latest Commodore 64 game of 'Battle for Cronos'. A game in which the creator says has epic battles with 4 factions, an 8 mission campaign, 6 skirmish maps for custom matches, 10 simulator missions for training, 20 different units and buildings, and even a password system with save games for both PAL and NTSC machines. To coincide with this news, there's a screenshot and a gameplay video provided below.
Here's the latest from the website. "Battle for Cronos is a turn based wargame for up to four players. To be successful on the battlefield, you must effectively combine different unit types, take the terrain into account, and plan your supplies strategically. This game was created for the Commodore 64. It can be played on real hardware, or in a C64 emulator like Vice. The game is controlled with a joystick in port 2".

Very cool to see a new strategy game for the 64.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much into 8-bit (even thou our first computer was A65XE) but this looks like top turn base strategy for 8-bit! GREAT WORK!
ReplyDeleteFrom the new breed games that came to the C64 after its commercial demise in the early 90s, this game "Battle for Cronos" along "Planet X2" by The 8-Bit Guy , are -i guess- the closest to a Dune 2 , C64 has ever got.
