The end of commercial support for the C64 in the early 1990's wasn't quite the death knell you might have expected. Though audiences were much, much smaller, game development still continued with some interesting titles being released.
Which is what is being showcased in this episode: 10 games originally released during these Dark Ages, and aren't discussed all that much.
Whilst many of the games featured aren't "legally" available online, the ones which are can be obtained from the following places:
● Colonial Trader: cascade64.de/c64_games.php
● Crush: smash-designs.de/c64demo.html
● Ice Guys: protovision.itch.io/ice-guys
● Stroke World: protovision.itch.io/stroke-world
Gameplay footage recorded from a C64 Reloaded Mk. 2 (via S-Video), fed through an XRGB Mini - watch at 1080p50 for the absolute best quality!
