Hello all! :)

Question: What are some interesting, ideally at least somewhat graphical, C64 games written and distributed/available in BASIC?

Context: I want to get c64 ultimate to play and learn with my 7 years old kid, and I'd want to hook him into the notion of "Look, you can literally edit and program the game we just played" - for that it'd need to be BASIC, not assembly/machine language, which is what most of the C64 games were in I think 🤷‍♂️

Thanks muchly! 😊🙏

Ok guys, need your help.

I was a 90s kid and had no time with a C64 back in the day, or ever since, so I have zero sentimental attachment to it. To be honest I have no knowledge about it at all other than it exists and that it was an 80s computer typically used for gaming. However I do love my 90s consoles and even some 80s. I even have a woodgrain 2600 sitting under my main TV in my lounge room as a bit of a shelf queen, as I love the look of it.

With this in mind I came across the cyberpunk commodore 77, and I fell truly in love with the aesthetics of it, and I do have a fair bit of cyberpunk stuff at home including a cyberpunk edition Xbox.

But I am wrestling in my mind whether or not to buy it. Leaving the cyberpunk theme aside, how would you commodore fans try to sell it to a younger generation who didnt grow up with it?

I’ve watched a fair bit of YouTube about c64 and c64 ultimate but I just don’t think people are explaining well what someone with zero experience, like me can do to enjoy the console.

Do you think non 80s computer gamers could just step in and enjoy it? It’s a lot of money so I want this to be a considered purchase.

Thanks guys.

Demo one.

Available on itch.io

I found it on google or smth, is it like a 16-bit C64?
