280 Hour Commodore 64 RPG Coming Out This Year

[Rad Party God]

And I thought that The Nameless Mod for Deus EX was the very definition of dedication, that mod took 7 years to complete, although it offers like 40 hours of gameplay and different endings (and it's a lot of fun).

Now this game comes up, wich is a full fledged game, with 70 hours of gameplay crammed into 2 simple MB?... and they took 20 years making it with even older hardware?... wow... THIS is the very definition of dedication.

There will be a PC version aswell if you don't feel like assemblying your C64/getting an emulator.

 

[V8 Ninja]

Wow...working on one single game for 20 years...that's hardcore, no matter how you put it. And 280 hours of gameplay in 2 Megabytes? That's pretty incredible. Can't wait to see the final product.

Soooooooooooooo...

Anybody got a C64 they are willing to part with?

 

[Merkavar]

and nowadays with 10gb of space games like fallout can only manage2050 hours of gameplay and like 3 endings

 

[Double A]

This sounds freaking amazing!

... I should probably go buy a C64.

 

[Nevyrmoore]

Soooooooooooooo...

Eh, just use an emulator. Something like CCS64 will do.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Why oh why did I sell my Commodore 64!? why!?

 

[NoNameMcgee]

I admire their dedication... I'm not interested in it though. Gameplay has evolved as much as graphics have in my opinion, and "retro" games don't normally compare anymore.

 

[The Night Shade]

A Commodore 64 game being release in 2010 it's crazy and awesome at the same time you have to admire this

 

[WorldCritic]

Retro RPG? Sounds cool. On the C64? I don't mind. 70-280 hours? No thanks.

When the Commodore 64 fell out of commercial viability in 1994,

LIEZ, Commodores never fall, they dive WITH GLORY!

If this is even half as good as Wasteland, it's getting installed to my phone and you won't see me for a month.

It just needs music by Rob Hubbard and graphics by Jeff Minter to become unholy awesome.

This looks EPIC.... 0_0

Considering I just spent 2 hours on my first game of alpha centauri, old school games are no problem. I may just check this out

 

[Iron Lightning]

Sure it's got 280 hours of gameplay, but are they quality hours? Considering that it took 20 years to develop, I believe they will be. I am definitely going to be watching this develop. Also, isn't it a little too appropriate that it's named "Newcomer?" That couldn't have been the original name as they so claim.

 

[Nevyrmoore]

Sure it's got 280 hours of gameplay, but are they quality hours?

That is, ultimately, a subjective question. One man's trash, another man's treasure, and all that.

 

[Nevyrmoore]

Don't nobody talk shit about the C64; it was only a computer in the most technical sense, but it was a fucking brilliant game system.

But weren't systems like the ZX Spectrum, Oric-1, C64, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, etc. the first home computers?

 

[Formica Archonis]

2 megabytes? Holy crap, that's like twelve single-sided 5 1/4 floppies! That game's HUGE!
