Excellent new strategy game to C64. I've also included it in my new video along with other recently released games. Hope you like it.

As always. Thank you  :-)

Nice game!

Thank you for the video. It was a quite bold move to attack the air defense with your gunships first ;-)

Hello, in my last issue of Retro News Flash, I covered the game Battle for Frost and ran a short report on it. It's a really great game, I really liked it. 

very good

cronos was my goty for that year personally, it has this battle isle vibe to it right (if anyone ever played bluebytes series) if the kid would have had that in the 80s he wouldnt have believed it lol

Thank you! Battle for Frost (2025, WindigoProductions) I like the snow themed maps which can remind me to the old classic named Z video game by The Bitmap Brothers: Z (video game) - Wikipedia That would be great also for Commodore 64, you should take some ideas from it to the later developments!

Thanks for the article. Z is an interesting suggestion. I played it for a while. I have something similar on my concept pile. We'll see :-)

I'm exciting now! :)
