YOU SPIN ME ROUND

[ posted on 1st January 2013 ]

The last Cosine release of 2012 was Epic Realtime for the Gameboy Advance; the story behind this release is explained in more detail at the far side of that link but, basically, it and all of the other iterations was done to play with a bug at Pouet.

We've also got around to adding the 2011 release Blok Copy and as a little New Year bonus the previously unreleased Blok Copy - PETSCII Edition has been cleaned up for release, so it accidentally becomes Cosine's first release of 2013!

INTO THE BIG BLACK YONDER

[ posted on 18th November 2012 ]

It's already available from the various Atari 8-bit download sites and from the appropriate thread at Atari Age, but we've now got a proper entry on the Cosine website for T.M.R's Atari 8-bit horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up Callisto. This game was entered into the yearly ABBUC Software Competition and came second and has received quite a bit of positive feedback from the Atari community. Which is nice.

We've also managed to scrape our second Amiga demo Liquidize It off an ailing floppy disk to make it available for download; the demo is available as files for hard disk users or as an ADF image. The archive for Reaxion has also been upgraded to add an ADF image.

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!

There's two new releases today and the first is our debut on the Amstrad CPC, a simple single-parter called Snoozing which was released as a sort-of-answer to Benediction's call for activity Wake Up! - well, that and it would've been a waste not to release it after the week it took to make. Of course, the CPC isn't the only machine available with a 640x200 display so the next logical step was to convert it for use on the C128's VDC display... and the second release today is therefore also Snoozing but this time for the Commodore 128!

And finally, we've got around to uploading RG Rampage, the platform game that was written to appear as a type-in listing in issue 100 of Retro Gamer.

ANOTHER BIG HELLO TO...

[ posted on 18th March 2012 ]

Goodness, someone must've slipped something into our tea because here comes another small release and there's still a couple more that are nearly complete to come! This time we've got a colourful Atari 8-bit release called BrainPower, which is our second release for the Atari machines in as many months.
