@MuseumCommodore Supergiant

If the only thing you could ever play for the rest of your life was the full catalogue of a single video game developer, who would you pick?

@MichelOnfrayTv Injuste de présenter Einstein comme un rêveur par rapport à la guerre et de ne pas mentionner sa lettre à Roosevelt prévenant une menace atomique de l’Allemagne et suggérant une approche qui donnera lieu au projet Manhattan. @LaurenceFerrari #faceamichelonfray

@JulesTorres17 on dit “revenir à ses premières amours.” Amour est féminin au pluriel. Et bien….et bien…vous devriez savoir ça. @GauthierBret

@exQUIZitely Worth mentioning that 2 of them (Cadaver and The Chaos Engine) had the same artist Dan Malone.

Graphic designers back in day were incredible. Can you name all four games?

@GauthierBret S’il vous plait arrêtez avec ça: Churchill n’a jamais dit “les fascistes du futur s’appelleront anti-fascistes”. C’est une des nombreuses citations qu’on lui attribue à tord. Il n’a jamais dit ça. Vérifiez vous même.

@MuseumCommodore Rob Hubbard

Who is the GREATEST Commodore 64 musician? Time to settle this classic debate with a poll! 🎶🔊 The SID chip legends are all incredible, but here are the top contenders: Rob Hubbard – The undisputed pioneer. His epic, rock-inspired anthems defined C64 music: Monty on the Run, Sanxion, Commando. Complex melodies squeezed into tiny limits—pure genius. Martin Galway – Master of innovation. Sampled drums, lush layers, and cinematic vibes: Arkanoid, Parallax, Comic Bakery, Wizball, Ocean loaders. Instant nostalgia. Chris Hülsbeck - Sweeping symphonies: R-Type, The Great Giana Sisters, Katakis. Turrican pure mastery. Ben Daglish – Catchy, fun, technically brilliant. Iconic hooks for Gremlin & US Gold: The Last Ninja series, Avenger, Auf Wiedersehen Monty. Always sticks in your head! Vote in the poll below! Who's YOUR #1 SID hero? #Commodore64

Cranko! 5 is right on time! ⏰ cranknockout.com First issue this year with a special article on Playdate 3D games, news, reviews, interviews and a GIANT walkthrough of Diora + a poster. Don't be late to the party! @playdate @panic

@MastheadLight @playdate Thank you. I don’t give dates because I know how frustrating it is for people when they’re pushed. “As soon as possible” is the best I can tell.

@RewindStephan @playdate Can’t wait - when do you think beta will start?

@MuseumCommodore Dark Seed was pretty scary. I loved it though.

Scariest Commodore 64 or Amiga game you completed?

@MuseumCommodore I can still hear the music 40 years later

@exQUIZitely I got all 9. What does that say about me?

If you recognize at least 7 of these 9, we think alike.

@exquizitely One of my favorite from the Bitmap Brothers, after Speedball 2. Loosely based after William Gibson’s novel “The Difference Engine”

The Chaos Engine (Bitmap Brothers, 1993) is a great steampunk style action game, in typical Bitmap Brothers briliant fashion with excellent graphics and sound. You can play it in single-player mode (the computer will take on the role of the second player) or with a friend in two-player mode. Six characters are available to choose from, all with their own skillset and strength & weaknesses: Navvie, Thug, Brigand, Mercenary, Gentleman and Preacher/Scientist. Something I only found out later: For the North American release, the Preacher character was redesigned slightly and renamed as the Scientist because the game's North American publishers felt that a priest killing people was offensive. Not the most complex or innovative game (some even called it just a Gauntlet clone), yet highly playable and fun. Bitmap Brothers games always delivered!

@MuseumCommodore “We can rebuild him. We have the technology.” So cool.

"dit dit dit dit" if made this noise while slow motion running and jumping as a kid you had an awesome childhood! The Six Million Dollar Man premiered 52 years ago today. Who else was a fan?

@MuseumCommodore Bruce Lee was my favorite

Zorro on the Commodore 64. Which is better Zorro, Conan or Goonies?

@EricRetro @land_patricio Still waiting for mine here in the good old US of A 💔

The latest issue of Cranko! has finally arrived. Royal Mail seem to be on a go slow since Christmas. Thanks @land_patricio Get your copy from cranknockout.com

@exquizitely It was incredible.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (LucasArts, 1992) was a brilliant point-and-click adventure. The story evolves around the sunken city of Atlantis and - of course! - Nazis, racing to unveil its secret powers. Set in 1939, the game features incredibly gorgeous graphics, the typical LucasArts humor, some tough puzzles, digitized speech, and a story that kept you hooked... adventure games of the early to mid 90s had that old charm that I miss in many of the modern games. One of the more unusual aspects of the game were the three paths a player could choose (and the game would unfold differently for ech of those), each with unique cutscenes, puzzles to solve and locations to visit: the Team Path, the Wits Path, and the Fists Path. According to eports, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis was LucasArts most successful game ever, with over 1 million units sold and over 30% of female players.

@louksd @EricRetro Yep! Still at it :) Thank you!

@EricRetro 2026 is shaping to be a good year for the Playdate. I've been away a while, but thankfully awesome developers like you and @RewindStephan haven't! Can't wait to enjoy the results of your hard work.
