RGCD & Psytronik Software Game Release Schedule!

Heavy Stylus

Further to our successful collaboration on Smila & Endurion's Soulless and Aleksi Eeben's Green/Redrunner, I'm super pleased to announce that going forward RGCD and Psytronik Software will be collaborating on most of our future releases, publishing games for the C64 on ALL formats (cartridge, disk, tape and digital download).

Forthcoming releases we have in the pipeline (and confirmed formats) are listed below. I'll amend this list when dates and formats change and add information when it becomes available.

Well, 64KB is nice, and it is cheaper than us having to mass produce easy flash carts (although that would be awesome), but I've been assured that there are bigger things on the horizon. You won't have to wrestle with your code to reduce the byte count next year. Wink

I just came ...
This is just freaking awesome.

I've never been into cartridges much (in fact, I only own two factory sealed copies of Ms. Pacman, that's all I got on cartridge), but this makes me consider buying a real C64 with a cartridge slot.

Anyways. Could I have your address? I'd be happy to donate my credit card. Laughing
