I'm a big fan of @itch.io and supporting new creators, especially those who are making new games for old hardware. These guys are keeping old computers like the #C64 and #ZXSpectrum relevant some 40 plus years later for us oldies and the next generation to discover and enjoy. Thank you. itch.io - ThreadSky

I have a sizeable library of games there already, including many Spectrum titles, and most, if not all, of @sarahjaneavory.bsky.social's games, which are all amazing.

Good to see their domain name woes got fixed.

And may I recommend the horror games they have? Great horror original stories and ideas. I've been playing so many games from there, this is why I dont care about Game of the Year and those things. Indie games taking my time over AAA stuff and I am so glad.

Thank you, you are a star. It's so hard these days to get any kind of traction. It all helps. Thanks again :)

Don't forget the tag :) https://itch.io/games/tag-homebrew

joelj.bsky.social•83 days ago

I didn't realise I wasn't using this tag for my games, thanks for the tip!

breathing-retro.bsky.social•83 days ago

One can also look for homebrew stuff in this section: https://itch.io/tags/platforms

I have bought 35 c64 games and 10 spectrum games there from various creators, as well as several NES, Game Boy and even PC games there.

Really wish some other retro creators would sell roms as I don't really want to spend $50 or more for a cart I'm just going to rip and play in an emulator anyway.

Can you buy a C64 or Amiga or other today? Or is it running on raspberry pi or emulators?

benstylus.bsky.social•83 days ago

I have a c64 mini I can use them with (basically an officially licensed emulation device that supports adding your own games) or I can run them through the VICE emulator on PC

starlight462.bsky.social•83 days ago

Does keyboard work?

commodoreblog.uk•83 days ago

You plug in a USB keyboard for the mini, there's a maxi version too, with a real keyboard.

starlight462.bsky.social•83 days ago

I’ve wanted to get a c64 for the last few months and an amiga since forever. Anyone selling amigas mini/max? Can an amiga run c64 programs? …actually, I could prob get both eventually

This is all new to me. It would be cool to have those now as a programmer
