c64 de-make Versions of my games!
Many of the games I make today are inspired by my original love for the 1980's classics, my first home computer was the c64. At some point in the early 90's I sold my original c64 and all of its games and hardware, which included some games and programs I wrote along with their source code. That was not my best idea and I always wanted to return to this platform to write a few games, so here they are! Now, I can share some of my work for this awesome system!
Chess With Dice c64

This is a de-make of my Web based and Android based versions of this game. This is chess made quick and easy, you simply roll the dice and move one of the two pieces you roll. The game will highlight whatever pieces you have rolled that have a legal move, you select it and it will show you all of the places it can go and you choose whichever space is best for your strategy. Capture the computers King to win!
One player vs Computer using a Joystick on the P2 port.
8 chessboards and piece layouts to choose from.

This is a de-make of my web based game capturing the spirit of the gameplay. You command a hovercraft that has one job, keep your orb army operational. Do not let an orb from the other army touch you or it's game over! Each match goes to the team who wins the best of 5 rounds.

It is a simple turn based explore a random one screen dungeon to discover its maze while hoping not to awake the dragon too early. Once you wake him you'll learn where his gold is hidden, he will start to pursue you. Your mission is to recover his gold and get back to the entrance and escape for the win!

Reder's TREK 64
Download cartridge image
This is my take on the classic keyboard only text based Star Trek game found on many early computers and networks. You must manage your resources and track repairs as you search for and eliminate all of the invading Klingon Warbirds and the occasional Romulan Vessel. Explore your galaxy using your Star Bases to repair and resupply.

Reder's SubWars 64

This is my take on the classic keyboard only text based game, I really enjoyed creating Raid Under Vectrexia for the Vectrex and thought it would make a great idea for a c64 Sub Hunt game. It's all about the suspense of hunting and being hunted!
