From C64 Diskmag Wiki
--------------------------------------- * Game scene * --------------------------------------- Dear readers; Presented to you here, is the latest news, information and contact addresses of the legal game industry. Information is gathered from legal publications, such as Loadstar, Commodore World and Commodore Zone. One may see the money making endeavours of an old scene to be somewhat of a narrow channel. But the industry is still surviving in small groups, magazines and companies devoted to still continue producing entertainment software on the Commodore 64. Thank you to Everlasting Style, Cherry Software, Phuture and Threshold Productions for their support to this chapter. Please take careful observation of the following and enjoy and support what the contents have to offer. * Creative Micro Designs (CMD) will by now have released two new acceleration cartridges for the C64. Firstly the 10 mhz accelerator is available at $100 US. The second being the 20 mhz accelerator, which is available at $175 US. With these accelerators released and the current view of interested people, this could be very well the inovative piece of hardware the scene currently needs.

Title: Future World by 'Nemesis Productions' With the entire universe in your reach. It is your task to make a fortune dealing goods and transporting people. Future World is one of the juiciest games of the 1990's and it will keep you playing for weeks. It was ages since somebody released a "longplay" game. With spices of Elite (C64), Millenium 2.2 (Amiga) and Deuteros (Amiga) you cannot afford to miss this epic. Sweden's absolute top-devlopers are responsible for the massive orgy. Title: Bouncy Balls by 'R-code' and 'Art Game' Bouncy balls is a new concept in computer games. Press has described it as a mix between Pang and Rodland. We think it beats both by far.
