KIKSTART C16 CARTRIDGES
|
[ posted on 18th July 2008 ]

Recently, that nice James over at RGCD badgered persuaded T.M.R that cramming Kikstart C16 down to fit into an 8K cartridge would be a good idea. In fact, it would seem that it really was a good idea despite T.M.R's reluctance (not enough to stop him doing the code and spending a few days trying to remember how auto-starting cartridges work) and there has been a significant amount of interest to the point where Retro Gamer printed a news item about the cartridges in issue 53 (in the "retro radar" section on page 8, for those wanting to see how the boxes look) but there's a link to this website at the end of the piece and... umm, we don't actually sell the carts!
Kikstart C16 is freely available from this site as a download if you click the link at the start of this sentence in fact, but those who want to purchase it should ponder over to RGCD and nag them (or wait until it appears in the shop!)

SO WHERE DID THE REST 2007 GO...?

Woohoo! Here's the first Cosine release for 2008 and it's a case of "new year, new format" since it's our very first title for the Commodore PET, in particular for 8K machines with 40 column screens. Blok Copy is an action puzzler where the playfield gets scrambled and the player is then given control and a finite amount of time in which to straighten things out. The design and code were both by T.M.R and the game features graphics (well okay, screen layouts since the PET can't redefine it's characters) by Bizzmo and T.M.R along with a slightly screechy cover of "End Theme", some in-game sound effects and jingles that T.M.R had a go at producing which rely on a hardware hack to add sound to the otherwise mute PET.

MORE NEW STUFF TO PLAY!

So if we were to say that there was a new release from Cosine called Kikstart C16 but that it's a C64 release, would that be confusing...? Okay, explanations are probably in order; on the 264 series, the game Kikstart isn't the two player split-screen affair seen on the other 8-bits, instead it's a single player race against time through the levels, jumping obstacles, avoiding airborne hazards and collecting bonuses by popping balloons! C16 gamers have always enjoyed playing it and so have we, because of that it's now possible for C64 fans to enjoy it as well!
The original code and graphics are by Shaun Southern from the original whilst the conversion, optimisation and in-game sound were produced by T.M.R. This is the first release with an all-new Cosine intro as well, with code and grahphics by T.M.R and featuring a previously unreleased piece of music by Odie.

It's been breeding again...! That Cosine game that seems to be on half the platforms out there has just been released on yet another format, as we happily present the party version of Reaxion GBA that took the second prize at Buenzli 16 over the weekend. All code was done by Widdy, the graphics by T.M.R and the music by Bexta/Afy/PinkBitz. So there we have not only the first Cosine release for the Gameboy Advance, but the Reaxion world invasion continues it seems...!
