C64 Prototypes
A downloadable game
This is just a random selection of some C64 prototypes I've made in the past. I thought I'd stick them up here to see if the C64 scene might be interested in any of them.
RunNGun
This is the most promising of the 3 games. I started this when Saul Cross provided me with a lovely map and I challenged myself to code a nice scroller for it. I did much more with enemies and multiple rooms (press down to enter doors). I want it to be a kind of Metroidvania but other projects have meant this is in limbo.
Wheelie
This is my favourite Spectrum game which never saw a C64 release back in the 80s even though the game style is much more suited to the breadbox. I did a bit of reverse engineering on the Speccy ROM and came up with the level generation and a scroll you see here.
Behemoth
I actually coded this in around 1990 I think and it was the last thing I coded as a professional C64 developer. As you can see it's a bit rough and the graphics are meh but something nice could probably have come from it with another month's work.

RunNGun has a lot of potential. We have small improvement ideas to share. Please contact us for a possible cooperation on this.
Hi, I've messaged you on Twitter. Let me know if there's a more convenient way.
very good
Thanks for putting these up, I never realised Wheelie was speccy only, it was such a fun game!
Was your c64 version done just because you could or originally planned to end up a release?
I still hope to finish Wheelie and release it but it’s low on the list.
