Cock'in. For the Commodore 64 and Spectrum. You take the eggs, and then the fish bites you on the elbow, and then you wear chicken hats, and what? More »

This isn't something done for internet shits and giggles. It's an "official conversion" of awesome death simulator Canabalt running on...the Commodore 64, one that will soon be going on sale. Like, it'll come on a cartridge. Amazing. More »

Today, we're looking at The Last Ninja. The first "badass" game I ever played, and still one of my all-time favourites. More »

NSFW: If you're a parent — or even just an all-round concerned citizen — and think games featuring cartoon violence and mild cussing is bad, spare a thought for me. One of the first ever games I played was about jerking off. More »

The Commodore 64 is a machine beloved by many who grew up in the 1980s. Like me. Which is why it's fun to hear that it's parent brand is making a comeback. More »

The new Ghostbusters game isn't the only Ghostbusters game to have ever been made. Ghostbusters 2 had an awful platformer, for example. And the original had a pretty decent game on the C64 and Spectrum. More »

Nintendo's very clever clues lead us to believe that Commodore 64 games are heading to the North American Virtual Console. Which titles, if any, are you looking forward to playing on your Wii? More »

Thanks, Marshall Alexander! Were it not for your heart-meltingly cute papercraft renditions of 70s/80s game machines, we don't know how we would have made it through Monday. But make it we did, clutching that little C64 to our hearts all day long. Hit the link below for the papercraft templates in question. More »

What was once nothing but a fun concept is now a reality, with a playable C64 version of Harmonix's rhythm game that uses a standard guitar controller. It doesn't play stock tunes, as you might expect, but SID files, which Westbrook demonstrates in the above clip. The tune? The Legend of Zelda Overworld Theme, something that only makes us pine for Nintendo remixes in future Wii versions of Guitar Hero. More »

How darling! Insert Credit points to Jason Winters and his Commodore 64 palmtop. Backstory: Jeri Ellsworth created a line of C64 plug 'n plays that were sold to Walmart and the like. The interesting part was that she put the entire thing on a chip, making it possible to create devices like this truly cool C64 palmtop. Nice work. Brian Ashcraft More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=230648&view=rss&microfeed=true Many fine musicians have given us their interpretations of game music on various instruments. Nine times out of ten it's the Mario them or some related Nintendo game. Not Swedish a capella group Visa R ster. They would not be satisfied with the Zelda Theme so they have stepped into Commodore 64 territory with their vocal rendition of the music from the huge hit International Karate. It must be seen to be properly judged, but my vote isn't quite in yet. I can't quite decide if it's really cool or really lame. Flynn De Marco More »

Details are few and far between. Alls we knows is that this is a giant Commodore logo with a monitor and working C64. Cool, but where the hell ya supposed to put it? Brian Ashcraft More »

There's perhaps more likely games to capture in bead bracelet form than Summer Games and Hardball for the Commodore 64. But it's the implausibility of taking the pixellized audience from the game and making it into a bracelet that makes Joe Beuckman, a Southern Illinois physics student, a minor genius.
