Volume 1

Starbraze

A complete C64 space shooter developed in assembly and explained step by step, from sprites and joystick input to collisions, sound, scoring, the Helios Guardian and the final fully commented listing.

Coming soon

Volume 2

Cryptmorrow

An original dungeon explorer for the Commodore 64, built in eight playable steps: sixteen rooms, keys and seals, skeletons and bats, a SID soundtrack and a packed program that unpacks itself.

Coming soon

Volume 3

Dreadcastle

Help Oscar, a young vampire, get home before sunrise: cross the wilds, turn into a bat and reclaim Dreadcastle from the werewolf pack. A C64 adventure to build and personalise in assembly, step by step.
