Another Commodore 64 news update which is well worth a mention on Indie Retro News, is the latest *Public* Commodore 64 release of 'DR MARIA' by Sysantmin. A Commodore 64 game which is not only a clone of the 1990 puzzle video game of Dr Mario; a game originally by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Famicom, and Game Boy. But the game features 20 levels of arcade fun with an upbeat soundtrack. To coincide with this news, Saberman has done a video of the game in action.
Here is what the developer says about the game "Short Futures present a pill flipping puzzling production for the Commodore 64. Experimental viruses have mutated and are trying to escape from the research lab. Help Doctor Maria use her pills to destroy all the viruses before they spread. The new version now features faster gameplay, second button support and slicker controls as well as a bunch of bug fixes".
