Part of the Play Expo 2012 coverage. An hour with a publisher of new Commodore 64 games.
"The Commodore 64 is a machine that outside of fantastic publications such as Retro Gamer garners little attention. There’s no doubt that many of today’s leading developers were brought up with a healthy side salad of Commodore and Sinclair electronics. The loading screen alone on Commodore’s baby is a thing of beauty."

Early in the magazine’s life, Retro Gamer often came with a CD-ROM filled with various homebrew games and ‘80s classics. But as the UK publication grew the cover CD was eventually dropped in favour of focusing attention elsewhere.
This month – thirteen years since the last Retro Gamer cover disc – a free CD once again graces the cover.
‘Retro Gamer Presents C64 Remix’ features a bevy of music courtesy of C64 Audio.
Amazing stuff got my name written all over it. Buy this mag every month so even better :)
Part of the Play Expo 2012 coverage:
"Super Bread Box is being developed as a new Commodore 64 title for entry into Retro Gamer CD’s yearly competition. A large serving of my time with the publisher at Play Expo was spent on a demo of this forthcoming release. It had been built exclusively for the expo and served up a tasty starter to get us interested in the manic full main course to come."

AgedGamer: "Paul Koller’s awesome Canabalt Commodore 64 port “C64anabalt” just got a little more awesome with news of limited physical copies now available to order. The idea originally came about last year when the game was developed as an entry for the RGCD C64 16KB Cartridge Game Development Competition. Now for around $30 you can physically possess your very own C64 cartridge of the port–while supplies last of course."
