The original "friendship-ending" party game wasn't a blue shell... it was outbidding your friend for the last plot of land in M.U.L.E. πŸ“‰πŸ˜‚ Four players. One planet. Cutthroat economics. A masterpiece of multiplayer design that's still brilliant today. #MULE #C64 #RetroGaming

Just finished this new piece inspired by the iconic Commodore logo! Tried to capture that retro pixel vibe with a bit of a modern twist. What do you all think? πŸš€ #Commodore #C64 #RetroGaming #PixelArt #LogoDesign #DigitalArt #8bit #VintageTech

Just saw that "SNK vs CAPCOM for C64" is out. A new homebrew fighter bringing two of the biggest names in the genre to the classic 8-bit platform. Absolutely wild. #Commodore64 #C64 #SNKvsCapcom #Retrogaming #HomebrewGames

Who else remembers the unique sound of a Sinclair Microdrive loading? πŸ”Š Faster than tape, cheaper than disk, and a 90% chance of making you cry when it failed to load your program. Good times. πŸ˜‚ #RetroGaming #Sinclair #ZXSpectrum #80s

Ever played the other original Castlevania? πŸ§›β€β™‚οΈ Before the NES classic most know, Konami released Vampire Killer on the MSX. It's a different beastβ€”less linear action, more adventure. You needed to find keys to progress! A truly unique piece of gaming history. #MSX #VampireKiller

The C64's SID chip was pure magic! 🎢 The soundtrack for The Last Ninja is still an absolute banger today. Ben Daglish and Anthony Lees created an iconic score that pushed the hardware to its limits. #C64 #RetroGaming #SIDchip #8bitMusic #TheLastNinja

Tonight's forecast: 100% chance of justice being served on the Commodore 64. Firing up RoboCop 2! Fun Fact: The C64 version famously mixes gameplay styles, from side-scrolling action to a first-person shooter sequence for the final battle against Cain. #RetroGaming #C64

Just came across a ZX Spectrum game I'd never heard of: Deactivators. I'm genuinely impressed with the concept for a game from 1986. It’s a clever mix of real-time action and strategy where you program a whole team of droids. Surprisingly deep. A quality title that seems to have

Shoutout to one of the greats from Imagine Software: Alchemist (1983)! That eagle transformation mechanic was pure genius. An absolute must-play for any retro gaming fan. #RetroGaming #Alchemist #ZXSpectrum #8bit

Let's hear it for an all-time great: BMX Simulator. Perfect tracks. Addictive racing. That "one more go" feeling. Codemasters proved that a budget game could be a timeless classic. What a game! #BMXSimulator #Codemasters #8bit #RetroGaming
