Bomb Race: A recovered prototype of Bomb Uzal for the Commodore 64
We’re today releasing a Commodore 64 curiosity: Bomb Race - an earlier version of Bomb Uzal, originally due for release under the old Mirrorsoft label (before ImageWorks was born). A few visual differences already spotted, and may be more to discover.

Some of you asked me about the music in my “Using ChatGPT on a 42 year old Commodore 64” video. It’s a new version of my tune Cypherkitteh, and I just uploaded it to Youtube and Soundcloud for you!

finally a new and fitting game Intro for turrican 2 in 2026 for the c64. The original intro had been in hires black/white images but in a sad quality. At one evening at another coding weekend at the rabenauge WHQ we have been bragging about this (it was Krill´s fault) and so we decided it was about time to change that,now. The images are no convert jobs but reinvented with the version of the pc in mind - these have been the inspirations for the new multicolor images. It has some images more than the original c64 intro,now. Code and packing the whole data was magically programmed by Insane/rabenauge, the awesome track is from dalezy/Triad and I created the images. If you have a c64 or an emulator for you can download just the intro itself: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=259604 or the game with the intro before it: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=259609 - to get the whole experience in one release. Have fun and fight along with “Bren Mc Guire” in the turrican suit ;)
