Commodore 64 - C64 Nostalgia

We've once again run our periodic batch update, bringing in the latest longplay videos from our carefully selected YouTube channels. This update adds 151 new videos, expanding our collection from 3,617 to 3,768 longplay links!

Enjoy our ever-growing C64 game database with details covering every aspect of Commodore 64 gaming.

There you go! We added 50 new games to the database for you to explore, play, rate and comment, including your requests.

For starters, we have four brand new titles: Evil Dungeon III, Xenorogue, Zookeeper and Angry Apez ; then we have a number of fairly recent games that you might have missed, ranging from arcades to SEUCK, text adventures and whatnot; to wrap it up, a slew of titles originally featured in Game On magazine, the second part of the infamous Hareraiser and a few other lesser known oddities from the 80s.

Have fun!

We've just added 67 cover scans for games that previously had no scans at all. As always, each image has been carefully retouched and preserved at 300 DPI for top quality. Check them out here!

We're back with 50 new games for you Commodore maniacs to explore, play, rate and comment!

In this update we have added all of your requests, plus a couple of new titles such as Devolution: Eternal Winter and Trippy Tea, a slew of public domain/indie games from the 2000s, some covermount titles from 80s and 90s magazines, as well as some other obscure relics from the heyday of the C64.

We're excited to announce a huge upgrade to our magazine review database, thanks to our collaboration with Amiga Magazine Rack (And yes, they have plenty of C64 magazine reviews too!)

We've seamlessly merged their extensive C64 magazine review data with ours, making corrections and updates as well as adding data for 1,400 new reviews.

These come from publications such as ACAR, Commodore Computing International, 🇸🇪 Datormagazin, Games-X, Personal Computer Games, 🇫🇷 Joystick, New Computer Express, 🇩🇪 Power Play, just to name a few!

As a result, Lemon64 now boasts an impressive database of over 9,600 C64 magazine reviews and their ratings — likely the largest data collection of its kind! Whenever scanned pages are available on AMR, we link directly to them. If not, we provide alternative links through archive.org, zzap64.co.uk, and others. Additionally, non-English magazine reviews now feature a country flag for quick and easy identification.

You can now also use our Advanced Search to list all games reviewed in a specific magazine. There are 25 different magazines to choose from.

Enjoy our newly expanded and even more valuable data collection of C64 magazine reviews! 🚀

TND's annual C64 SEUCK Development game competition has made a return. Previous competitions have been quite successful and this year's competition hopes to be a lot better. The aim of this competition is to create and develop a full game using the Shoot Em Up Construction Kit or the Sideways Scrolling adaptation of it. You are welcome to add some cool enhancements to your game creations although that is not necessary.

Submissions for the competition are remote entries only. The submission deadline for competition entries is 30th April 2025. They can be submitted via email, or via private message (with a link posted to the unreleased game) to Richard of TND.

The voting phase will start in May 2025 and the winner's game will be announced after it has been fully enhanced as the star prize. Entrants will also have music added to their SEUCK entries during submission. The compo winner gets full the full SEUCK enhancement treatment as a prize. The winner of the last compo was "Droid Rumble" by Alf Yngve.

For full details and rules on submitting your entries to competition, please visit The C64 SEUCK Game Development Compo 2025. You may also use this forum topic on Lemon64 to discuss about the competition.

The Lemoners are very proud to announce the second installment of our coding tutorial Fun and Games Programming In Assembly. This time we leave the race track, and head off to the grand canyon in two heavily armored tanks, for a new game for one or two players called "Canyon Tank Duel". That's right everybody. This latest game coding feature goes through yet another full game project, which teaches you how to make a duel game with conjoined sprites, adds power ups, and other fun stuff. You even get to learn to make a new front end complete with in game options. May the best tank win!

Our team has made several improvements across the site to enhance search functionality, clean-up outdated links, and update game information.

• Advanced Game Search Upgraded – Yes/No filters are now instantly toggleable with a mouse click on the game search results page, making it faster and more intuitive. You can also search within game, version, and platform notes.
• CSDb Link Clean-up – 756 broken CSDb links were removed, ensuring all remaining links return results. Games that lost their CSDb links during the clean-up were manually reviewed, and verified links were added where possible.
• HVSC 82 Update – The latest HVSC collection has been recorded in MP3 format and integrated into the site, with older games now featuring updated SID music where available, and newer games (mostly from 2024) now feature previously missing tunes.
• Itch.io Link Check – Games released between 2013-2025 were re-checked for missing Itch.io links, resulting in approximately 100 new links added to game entries.
• Cartridge Release Fixes – All cartridge releases A-Z on RetroCollector were reviewed to identify and add missing cartridge games on Lemon64. This also led to numerous fixes and updates to existing game entries.
