Deliver it to Mr. Jones and you're done for today! Control ------- Joystick can be in any port. Press Fire to start the game. Use joystick to move about. Note that at certain locations and facing in a specific direction can light up objects you're in front of. Press Fire to enter the verb menu; choose a verb, an object (either from the inventory or the one you're in front of) and usually a second object. A few objects only allow direct use.

This series ran for 100 steps until 2013 and created a full game, which later became Guns'n'Ghosts. Go here to start the journey! |

The program supports project based C64 assembly or Basic V2. The internal assembler is using the ACME syntax. In connection with Vice the IDE allows you to debug through your code and watch variables/memory locations, registers and memory. Any other emulator can be set up as well if it's startable via runtime arguments. C64 Studio allows you to compile to raw binary, .prg, .t64, .d64 or cartridge format (.bin and .crt for 8k, 16k, MagicDesk) Additionally to this C64 Studio comes with a charset, sprite and media editor (tape and disk).

Basically I wanted to test how a Final Fantasy clone would work on the C64. And it's quite possible to pull of. The game uses an unusual control scheme, with cursor keys/return or A/S/L/ There's even a well done screen! The game comes as .D64 image. Load and run the file "PF" in your favourite emulator. And wait a bit ;) |
