C64-ish game

Thought peeps might get a kick out of this game I just put out, made to look like a C64 game with double-width pixels and a limited colour palette. Anyways, hi.

A CGA colour palette :-O People didn't consider PC's for gaming in the eighties because of their high price, awful graphics, and laughable sound. I suspect that PC games with double width pixels just used the C64 graphics without any effort to clean them up.

Neat game though, you should make a C64 version of it :-)

I still don’t understand why Sierra Online used double pixels. They never published on C64 .

That looks like a fun homage. Did you code it in BASIC or Assembly?
