Retro Consoles Return As Adorable Papercraft

6:30PM Luke Plunkett | 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 Tuesday. 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. Foldskool Heroes [Marshall Alexander] More »

Shotgate: Portal Clone For The (Yes!) Commodore 64

9:20AM Stuart Houghton | Get me Valve on the phone. Tell Lombardi that the Portal prequel dev team can go home – their services are no longer required. And yes, that Portal fan mod can sling its hook too. The Commodore 64 remake ‘Shotgate’ has rendered both games utterly pointless. Yes, it’s a Portal clone for the C64. No, it’s not in 3D and – yes – it does look quite like that Flash tribute from last year. This little fella was made in just 4K of C64 assembler for the Mini Games Comp 2008. If you like the look of it, the programmer is actually selling it in C64 cartridge form in a limited edition run of 20. Buy now to avoid/ensure disappointment. Shotgate [Quernhorst.de] More »

Welcome Back, Commodore!

9:30PM Luke Plunkett | OK, this is about as Commodoure as Phil Harrison’s Atari is Atari, but still. There’s a Commodoure logo on the thing, it’s called a Commodoure and it even shares that common Commodoure aesthetic, so it’ll do. The Commodoure Netbook is the first machine to hit the showroom floor following the brand’s reanimation, and while it’s not necessarily a gaming machine, again, it’s got a Commodoure logo on it. And it will play games. Which is good enough for us. Min er mindre enn din [NRK, via Boing-Boing] More »
