Demonstration of speed of C64’s basic
Ah, this takes me way back in time… Just wanted to test the speed of C64’s basic with a simple program of controlling a worm. The video: It was 1987 when I last coded with Commodore 64. ..and I admit it: I never learned 6502 / 6510 assembly well.. On Amiga I have done 680×0Continue reading “Demonstration of speed of C64’s basic”
VERY fun way to play C64’s Pitstop II
It was, when I was about 10 – 11 years old, when I invented this kind of style to beat the computer player on Commodore 64’s Pitstop II. Watch the video: The computer player is stuck behind me and AI computer player and eventually the computer player’s tires will blow up. After that, it’s easyContinue reading “VERY fun way to play C64’s Pitstop II”

Suicide Express (C64) cover made with PO-28 Robot
I recently got for birthday present a Pocket Operator PO-28 Robot. It’s a pocket synthesizer with sounds that remind me of C64’s SID sounds. I made a short cover of Commodore 64’s Suicide Express tune with it. For me it is an unforgetable tune. The cover is only 30 seconds loop.. In the videoContinue reading “Suicide Express (C64) cover made with PO-28 Robot”

Now I’m actually a student of computer science in a university… Since January of this year, I’ve lived in the world of Python, JavaScript & Ajax, CSS and HTML in the context of web server programming… I wish that the 7th week assignment of this course was behind… I’mContinue reading “C64’s Stix – I wish I had the time…”
Good Commodore 64 games I’ve previously forgotten and which could be re-made
In my old blog post I discussed my computer gaming history with Vic 20 And Commodore 64. Of course, I forgot some nice games that as re-made could be good games even today.

I’ve even started to make a remake of this game toContinue reading “Good Commodore 64 games I’ve previously forgotten and which could be re-made”
Bouncing of the ball when it touches the Bat (80s Krakout style)
It’s night when I’m writing this. I came up with a little Monkey X tutorial on how to program the bouncing of the ball, when it touches the bat in the “old school way” — like in the popular C64 game Krakout in the 80s. In the video for the tutorial you can see, that asContinue reading “Bouncing of the ball when it touches the Bat (80s Krakout style)”
Shortly about my computer gaming history (1984 – 1987)
It all started in 1984, when in Finland the prices of home computers were significantly reduced. One could buy a home computer for under 1000 Finnish marks. That’s about 167 euros. My parents bought me a Commodore Vic 20, that costed 999 Finnish marks. I really liked the first (and at the time only) gameContinue reading “Shortly about my computer gaming history (1984 – 1987)”
Another Game That I Dream to Create
This goes again to the nostalgia category. I really would like to make my own version of Commodore 64’s Stix. This is a classic game from the year 1983. Below is a screenshot from C64 emulator: The idea is to fill 75% of the playing area by turning 90 degrees from the direction the playerContinue reading “Another Game That I Dream to Create”
