Take a trip back in time before Dav(r)os took over the world.

Rainbow Chaser [KSX115]
Remember rainbows before they were hijacked and distorted? Chase the dream of future past.

Yewdow [KSX114]
New Japanese C64 tape import from Inufuto via interweb, ksx 49 block program conversion.

Drink & Drown [KSX113]
File under: sleazy 1980s US juvenalia. Drink & Drown! A classic US game, our version of a Bozo's Night Out, ala a US Midwest B.B.S.-distributed underground gem from 1986 and a KSX old favorite. Will you be simply a Geek or Nobody failing at the nightlife, a lowly Subhuman or rise to the meteoric fame of Nighthawk or Sex God? Now in special KSX packaging. Restored release.

A PACaLIPS NOW [KSX112]
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming... Warning BOTOX maims

Black Magic KrakPak [KSX111]
Our first 'KrakPak' with a contribution by the Muffin Man who brings us a joystick 2 'adventure mode' trainer edition of the classic US Datasoft action-adventure game Black Magic! But wait there's more.. We also included an alternative trainer from '87 as well as classic UCF and ESI cracks that both offer the uncut game/full intro with differences, see each disk directory and load 'em up. If you don't own a original disk copy, you'll want all these for whatever your setup! Disk release only

Archon [KSX110]
Good versus Evil. When we were kids, it was just a game for the most part. Today, darkness, globalist elites with their Marxist pawn foot soldiers run rampant with their death cult and raze the Earth in a fanatical indoctrinated outrage based in ignorance and lies. However, the good news is that Archon, the game, still rocks. And you won't go to jail for playing it as a hate crime, yet.

Repto Compiler [KSX109]
A good retro-vintage basic compiler S.E. to have in one's basic micro toolbox in order to compile many of your own Commodore 64 Basic language programs into faster, leaner programs. Disk and program file release

Street Surfer [KSX108]
Surf the asphalt highway, no octane or electricity required. Pick-up BPA off the streets, recycle and gain a renewal source of testosterone.

Booga-Boo [KSX107]
Hop... Hop.. Hop along little grasshopper. A classic early C64 title, aka Bugaboo (The Flea), from the classic UK publisher Quicksilva.

International Hockey [KSX106]
Hands-down, fists-up, sticks forward the best computer hockey game ever made, man. After the 1970s table hockey, this game from Artworx took the proverbial cake's icing when it came out for the C64 in 1985. It is a bon'a-fide forgotten classic. Intro includes homage to Dave Keon and Bobby Hull.

Hercules [KSX105]
Before Black Knight yet released still 39 years ago incongruous to actual history, Interdisc released and equally hard game and little classic.. Hercules. This game always meant one thing to me, in epic trilogic fashion: flounder, fall, fail... into the firey pits of Hades! Sporting a new rad intropic by Mo, for a gamer's Breakfast of Champions.

Black Knight [KSX104]
Yet another little vintage classic C64 game re-visited from our archaeological recent digs. An extremely challenging action-adventure game by de old London Interdisc label.

Frogger [KSX103]
Here it is.. surely or at least arguably the greatest Frogger computer game port in all of computer game history! Yeehaw. Joytick port 2 version.

China Miner [KSX102]
Here it is.. surely not only the hardest game on the C64 but surely in all of computer game history! 享受

A Fi$tful Of Buck$ [KSX101]
God bless Braine and Gray for their notable handful of dynamite but excruciating difficult C64 games including this 1985 heavily circulated little classic.

Paradroid [KSX100]
Kraksnax's 1st release was a intro/NTSC Thunder Mountain cover art adaptation, linked vintage a old favorite crack that Mo played to death in the old days. For our 100th release is a new KSX krak of the great Paradroid w/ intro art adapted by Mo of the classic UK tape art.

Stringer [KSX099]
Also released or known as Mr. Angry. You are a pervert photographer who must gather 4 items and open the magic door to snap a naughty pic of the local hotel strumpet. Great with tea and crumpet.. Tip: Climb ladders fully.

Elektrix [KSX098]
A shocking 98th Kraksnax krak release featuring an old time classic of-sorts found on many a diskette o'ver here and on tape over thar.

720 [KSX097]
The classic 1987 original of 720. From the 1986 arcades to C64, favorirte of skate rats. The originator of action-grind videogame and fun game. Do tricks, grind away, upgrade gear and skills. Get cash. Possessed to Skate.

Action Biker [KSX096]
Action. Bike. Biker. Helmet, Leather Chaps, Gloves. Thank God for the innocent 80s, Clumsy Colin. C for crack. Warning: Very addictive game. Sporting the US disk release, UK tape release intro graphix and special tunage rendition.

Zorro [KSX095]
Zorro. Just Zorro. It's a classic, Bruce.

Slamball [KSX094]
Slamball. No... it's not what you think. It's pinball on the C64, scrolling screen, da best. Smile.

Skate Rock [KSX093]
NTSC version of the classic C64 skateboard game Skate Rock. NTSC/PAL compatible with bonus artwork.

Hopman [KSX092]
Hop... Hop.. Hop along little doggie. Word up to Inufuto, NTSC game Japan, dog.

Serpentine [KSX091]
Joystick 2 swap of this classic Joystick Port 1 US early gem game with a nice pic.

Pussy Pinball [KSX090]
Low-action Pinball like you've never played before. You'll need the finesse of feline with the bumpers to stay alive and avoid the gobble hole. The ultimate pinball computer game for true pussies with a couple unusual key mechanics that I guarantee is exclusive to this game and that has never done before in arcade, consoles or even the Commodore 64!

Up'n Down [KSX089]
Another C64 classic, best version ever. Gamemaster tip: "Choose the path where no one goes. They hold no quarter" and neither does grabbing a copy of this amazing KSX version require any quarter. We carry games that must get through to build a dream for me and you.

Dino Eggs [KSX088]
Another US 1983 jewel released by Micro-fun on diskette and certainly one of the many fantastic early timeless classics: still one of the best arcade games on the C64. Updated with special edition dox, prg, tap and disk.

Saboteur 2 [KSX087]
Fresh off the heels of the original Saboteur, we have Saboteur 2! Same game, original tape crack again, unmolested aside from a new re-creation in Koalapaint format of the title pic, still funky, but let's call it a special variant with 1/2 the pixels! Gimme a break, Darleen! Besides prg and tap file, we also have a special disk version with Saboteur 1 & 2 on it, with a disk loader menu.

Saboteur [KSX086]
A true C64 classic returns. Same game, original tape crack, unmolested aside from a new re-creation in Koalapaint format of the title pic, improved and elite with 1/2 the pixels! Gimme a break, Dwayne! Besides prg and tap file, we also have a special disk version with Saboteur 1 & 2 on it, with a disk loader menu.

Space Mayhem [KSX085]
MEGA-DELUXE TWIN PILOT EDITION! Play up to 2 PILOTS (or share your joystick and play with a friend in optional 2-PLAYER MODE) in the frantic fire-em-up space shooter with up-and-down and side-to-side shoot-em-up ACTION! Your game, your choice.

Key Finders [KSX084]
Six words: awesome adventure game, obscure classic. Dude.

3D Dimension Maze [KSX083]
Enter the fabled 15th Shaolin Chamber for the ultimate third-eye plus two-eye (unless you only have one) Kung-Fu challenge. Remember Grasshopper, your training extends to all your senses, that of vision and memory. Master Mo intropic per usual.

Lazy Jones [KSX082]
A krak of the timeless classic UK tape C64 game sporting a special intro based off the original UK tape artwork and loading screen.

Shaman [KSX081]
Classic shoot-em-up action with some unseen elements or features included that only those who possess the shaman's eye shall discover.

Adept - Space Waste II [KSX080]
Delicious booty-shakin' edition of Alan Bond's Adept - Space Waste II..

Mille Borne [KSX079]
The classic French auto racing card game but also BBS game, ported here by Roy Batty formerly in the vintage NTSC scene era. Kraksnax special edition for this awesome must-play game, great for coffee break against the computron.

Kaktus [KSX078]
Straight-to-da-point: The world's largest cactus is being munched on by wasps and hornets. Really the game is also an origin story of how wasps and hornets got their stingers (hint: from the cactus needles, duh). Simple goal: save the cactus, shoot the avians. Tip: The mole can be your friend or enemy. Shoot wisely as the Squigy. And last but not least, dodge the massive turd storm that the wasps and hornets rain down on you. Cracked from a crusty UK tape in the USSA about 1.5 years ago, now intro-pic'ed with a conversion/rendering of the cassette inlay art by Mo.

Klaboom [KSX077]
An interesting little survival shoot-em construction kit game by J Sweeney. Enter the cosmic karmic portal traps of a dystopian deep state .. or something like dat.

Neverest [KSX076]
From our dear friend The Outlaw, we'll let the game speak for itself. Oh' boy.

Guntus [KSX075]
A new lil' shoot-em up imported from Japan's Inufuto, except this KSX 'alternative version' features a very slight tweak on ship movement and a port 2 swap. The global elite are always trying to hold you back and destroy human tradition. A high-score game for genocidal times.

Weather War III [KSX074]
One of the greatest C64 games from 1982 or ever! A Mo favorite and here is a special 40th anniversary edition from Kraksnax in 2022... 1 or 2 players. Battle a computer or human opponent using the weapons of weather: hail, lightning, rain or tornados. After 40 years this game really does rock either as a 1-player game competing in multiple rounds against a computer opponent OR a 2 player showdown. Love this game and this version, which we optimized with super-fast contemporary tight gamespeed for a new century! Our Kraksnax version, to differentiate from the original... entitled Weather War III.

Gyroscope [KSX073]
Uh.. Beavis.

Exterminator [KSX072]
The Exterminator, or Exterminator from Nufekop (US)/Bubble Bus (UK) from 1982. One of the earliest from 1982 and in our opinion, one of the best and a certain favorite of Centipede/Millipede clones with a bunch of extra creatures to keep your laserblast. 40th Anniversary release fitted with a Mo-pic tape cover conversion pic, cracked from his original clam cassette copy..

The Causes Of Chaos [KSX071]
The land of IX. King Arnid's power is crumbling. In an attempt to further The Causes of Chaos the evil Count Vladimir has stolen the Crown Jewels of IX. The six Jewels whose aura of beneficial magic was responsible for keeping the Kingdom in perfect harmony. Your task brave adventurer(s) is to retrieve these six emblems of power from wherever they might be. Single player or up to 6 players. Manual included.

Mille & Molly (1.1) [KSX070]
The kids are here... to rescue the teddybears in this Commodore 64 puzzler with special rewind feature.

Be a Bear [KSX069]
They are here. The bears are hair... in Be a Bear. Get as many honeycombs as you can, get the highscore.

Tenebra (Extended) [KSX068]
They are here. The heat is on. Or rather, in this case, it's back. The mystic Jewel that is Tenebra returns with an Extended version in 2022. Thus of course, we must upgrade our kraksnak with a special edition intropic and some intro zax.

Poing Ultra [KSX067]
They are here. The heat is on. The cosmic duel of da flippin' century: mediated, served and sabotaged by the laffing joker spawning alien machine-droid from Uranus, or that is at least our take in this radically dope krak-out-loud krakin little paddler gem.

Hot Wingbatz [KSX066]
They are here. The heat is on. The wingbatz have the earthchild dingbatz cornered. They are everywhere.

Last Gladiator KSX/Orion [KSX065]
US master crack of The Last Gladiator, which was the one of the greatest early rustic hits of the C64 circa 1983.. shows why many simple old-school games are underrated and far better than 90% of time-waster bull$hit post-vintage C64 and DOS eras. Disk only, US Orion early masterpiece crack with a new intro by Mo and Kraksnax.

Apple Cider Spider [KSX061]
Who doesn't love spiders? They eat bugs and other creepy crawlers so they don't climb on you. And in case you get bit, who knows, you may even get superpowerz and maybe make a gazillion bucks in some cheap crappy Hollyswood movie show and "a partner" to play this here game.. Who doesn't love Apple Cider, especially the fermented, unfiltered kind. Yippeee. Kaiiiuooo. Kay! Won't you play Apple Cider Spider, today?

Spare Change [KSX064]
Classic. Poached from diskette. Stop the zerks from stealing all your spare change and arcade token in this game of virtual insanity. Fill up your storage bin and be rewarded in the movie theater. Don't forget your raincoat. Disk only, full, tested and beaten. Original virgin save file + classic, ASS save, Ass-KRAK'ED + extras. The ultimate release.. Game has all the skits and features making this a classic US gem.

Infernal Runner [KSX063]
The essential French classic from Loriciels, 1985. Splatterpunk delish. All official Kraksnax munchers must attain at minimum 2,200 points.

Alcazar [KSX062]
One of the coolest adventure games on any system, especially the C64. Common features probably overlooked are the difficulty levels, which are worthwhile after you beat the game once, and the diverse bestiary and items. The game has a move counter and maps for castle interiors are revealed after killing a first demon, or better, with harder difficulty levels, after other conditions. There is a lot of challenge and replayability to this game that in our opinion warrants a firm place our best and favorite Commodore 64 games at least. Two special dox files for items and controls, stats and gameplay tips. 3 files on disk version or self-executable .prg

Alice In Wonderland [KSX060]
US Game Company Spinnaker via Windham Classics produced some of the greatest adventures games on the Commodore 64 as well as all-time in computer games in our opinion.. Here is a real classic of a quality that will never be re-captured or surpassed from the amazing team of Dale Disharoon, Bill Groetzinger and Vince Mills who produced 2 amazing C64 masterpiece games concerning design, intriguing mixed minimal but bold graphic style, story and atmosphere. Criminally underrated or celebrated even after 35+ years. Disk only release - 2 disks side version, A: Boot/Saved Quests / B: Original B-side Game Disk Replica.

Seesaw [KSX059]
An old budget game from Quicksilva that you got either on tape or on budget disk pack by Valueware, like I did in North America in '85, and which was one of the lowest price game packs you could buy. Seesaw was a gem and is still one of the crown jewels for playability and challenge. It's one of those games a kid with no money could just afford on sale to get something new and then play and practice the heck out of and conquer. I did. Yet today, decades later it is even more challenging than before, for some reason, although it's perfectly designed and executed. Simple to play, instructions in-game, infinitely replayable coffee-break game. A favorite nostalgic, special game, one I actually still play and throw on regularly. Give this humble little game a try. -Mo

Hypa-Ball [KSX058]
Awesome interstellar sports game of spaceball ricochet for 1 or 2 player. A real nostalgic classic that represents the golden gaming era of the C64!

Saracen [KSX057]
Datasoft's classic action-puzzler where you play as a crusader who must unlock or destroy barriers, shoot arrows at enemies, locate da bomb each level and finally shoot/detonate it next to the Saracen Chief to get 'ahead.' Disk only release - the complete 100 levels.

Enigma [KSX056]
A nice classic sideways scrolling space shooter from '88 with highscore board saved to disk, thus... Disk only release for da scores.

Ball [KSX055]
An intriguing basic game from '88. We kept this one original on purpose for pure nostalgia and simply re-packed it with an nice little intro screen. A kickbut game by Sven. See diskette directory for notes on this release of the original.

The Scrolls Of Abadon [KSX054]
A classic oldie but occult goodie. Find the wizard Abadon's 4 mystical amulets, collect star gems, as well as scrolls left by lost ancient cosmic explorer Hiram that may unlock special spells to aid you in your quest in this astral labyrinth of infamy.

Pitstop II [KSX053]
A special release of the classic Pitstop II, one of the best vintage racing games of all-time and surely one of the C64's finest.

C64Hunt v1.1 [KSX052]
Salvage, once again, yet another discovered lost S.S. Tramiel cargo liner lost-at-sea and filled to the brim with lost Commodore-related booty. The new updated v.1.1 has a new feature 'Nitrogen Narcosis' finally added along with some new treasures to behold. Also, a kool new Mo art screen is added to the game for your visual enjoyment. Kick your sunday shoes off and relax... and slowwww downnnn with your favorite home gaming computer system, the C64.

Hover Bovver (US-Canadian Edition) [KSX051]
Nothing like the scent of fresh grass in the winter. eh? Hoser? Watch out for the jealous boyz.

Triaxos [KSX050]
Jailbreak the man who holds the secret to the most powerful weapon in the galaxy from the ultimate in high security orbital prisons that has 5 levels, a twisted weightless environment with wall jumping, dangerous droids, explosives, cloning, and a surreal style. A cool little action impossible mission game with a countdown to shutdown that will unleash a fatal mindprobe that will attempt to zap your brains if time runs too short.. This KSX release includes an agent file (dox) with the essential stuff you need to know going into this mad inhuman space prison. **PS. Fixed Dox Typo and re-uploaded Feb.8/2022

Miner 2049'er [KSX049]
The super old-school classic.. it's Miner 2049'er on the Commodore 64.

The Final Programme [KSX048]
Another new ksx game that includes both a mutation generator + game that includes randomized and customized elements, and which is the complex mathematical web that is... THE FINAL PROGRAMME. Create infinite new variants of mutations and try to escape from up to five notoroius laboratories in: Ottawa, London, Berlin, Canberra, Washington D.C. and Wuhan. Feb. 9th BIG UPDATE: Hacked version added + Dox, the latest official final package...

Save New York [KSX047]
Hahaha hohoho. Another intropic classic commie game intropic'ed by Mo. Great 1 or 2 player game originally on cartridge, released from California, 1983. Fly the unfriendly skies, grab fuel packages, shoot aliens that will chomp and destroy the cities buildings, destroy eggs and alien hatchlings in NYC's dangerous subway system---all on one ingenious screen. Gorgeosity itself as well as tragic story of nihilism and urban alien invasion.

Burnin' Rubber [KSX046]
Ram your roadie opponents, burn rubber and survive to race another season. Another C64 crash-em-up classic and favorite, ripped from original tape with incredibly significantly improved loading time (tape or disk)---in fact, hey--> it burns rubber...

War Play [KSX045]
Propaganda death ensemble, burial to be. Corpses rotting through the night in blood-laced misery. Scorched earth the policy--the reason for the siege. Infiltration push reserves, encircle the front lines. Supreme art of strategy, playing on the minds. Bombard 'til submission. Take all to their graves. Sport the war, war support--The sport is war, total war. One of the best and forgotten or under-appreciated UK 2-player game classic masterpieces on the C64. 1 or 2 player.

Elidon [KSX044]
Aaachoo. Excuse me. I am likely allergic to all the flower pollen around here, or is it the fairy dust? In any case, it seems we have lost our way in the magic forest of C64 - a fabled realm and parallel dimension to Elidon. Apparently, we have been sequestered to aid the Faerie Queen by exploring the land and finding the seven potions to be sprinkled upon the seven flowers to restore her Finvarra so we can party like it's 1985 again.

Pro Boxing [KSX043]
NTSC US/Canadian classic boxing game surely forgotten and now unearthed, once again. 1985 was the big year for C64 boxing games, and this one with its old-school rustic boxers with facial damage display between rounds is certainly one to remember - old-school nostalgia for early C64 gamers. Cool team-up between Advantage and Artworx on this one. Here is it in all its glory with a decent load ratio one-file + a special intro to match from Kraksnax..

Black Hole [KSX042]
A funky, freaky little shooter from 1983. Phase I: Control your ship 'roids-style avoiding being sucked into titular black hole. Phase II: Once you do get sucked in, which you will, in this 2-step pleasure maze, survive and exercise your pilot stamina skills. Phase III: Enjoy the game. Phase IV: Go watch the movies - da titular 1979 one, the year from which this game reflects in its rustic design, as well as the 1974 Phase IV flick by Saul Bass, of course, and finally the super-secret one from '86 (what fine cryptic riddles we may insert in 2021 post-80s). Lastly gaze at the amazing Amber, our titular intropic space vixen android, and check out the tunage per usual. This game is all about sucking, the goal being to move and upgrade to the other side of the... Black Hole. Special Feature: Our patented kraksnax cosmic turbo-cruncher may spawn a random chance of a random game border color; the default for our version is black (the game original was light blue).

Tag Team Wrestling [KSX041]
1987, in came Data East's dirty, funky, grimy Tag-Team Wrestling. Super-easy, fun controls: hold-fire button + directional text select of move made this a hilarious and awesome 2-player or 1-player tournament gem. It also features Japanese, European, World and Super league brackets to give solo players a goal to reign as champion supreme. Mo, who contributes his fancy classic NWA-era intro-pictures, calls 1987's Tag-Team Wrestling 'the STARRCADE of them all.'

Tenebra [KSX040]
Tenebra. What else to say. No bras. No Dario Argento. Yet, darkness, torches and grue, the spectre of grim fortitude based in the reality you may or may not create. Simple in the superficial sense. Confused, pick up a damn book, preferably a grimoire to exorcise the curse that modernity has had on your soul. Blackthorn is back and you are the avatar, however you must find your virtues, morals and re-discover common sense - at least this is Mo's interpretation of the game. Pic'ed surrounded by total darkness, snow, ice, dead forest and meadow. RPG-themed Puzzler. Dirty intro-ed KSX.

Slither Re/dux: TOTBP [KSX035]
Slither is another classic but obscure game re/dux from Ahoy!, the US premiere C64/C128 gaming-oriented magazine of the 1980s. The game is faithful and the exact same game experience to the original, albeit, cleaned, polished, cased in chrome and special incense.

Magic Mushrooms [KSX034]
Magic Mushrooms is a brand new 2021 release and based on a old obscure mag type-in game. Alas, a redux version, re-coded with 'new occult features' and style by Mo. It takes snakes, I mean worms to a whole new cosmic level. Beware of the jealous boyz..

Mad Nurse [KSX032]
Up picks up baby. Down puts down baby. Fire releases stun gas. Goooooooeeeeeuuuugh. Bleeeeaaaaagh! WWWAAAAAAAAGH!!!!! Babies are important and susceptible to all sorts of danger. A good samaritan should know how to protect them, right? Perhaps not a popular opinion these days, but back in the day with the Commodore 64 it was a status quo thought, believe it or naught. We, at Kraksnax, love babies.. and Mad Nurse, a timeless classic C64 game.

Castle Blackstar [KSX031]
Lady Artmemis has summoned you in the text adventure game from 1984, in this final version, to retrieve her golden Orbz of Power. In return for your studly service, your wildest phantasies might just come true.

Worron [KSX030]
A game slated for a 1987 Firebird release that fell by the wayside, left unfinished & finally revisited and finished recently by the original creator! It's a great game, tough-as-nails, literally where you must bypass booby-trapped courses in a dystopic future scenario. Resources and food are in low supply and, in order to qualify for them, one must compete in the devious games of the profiteer Professor Pierre Worron. Get a taste of the future now... SPECIAL: Two versions: Disk/Tape Master.

Reactor Run [KSX029]
Classic oldie now with a joystick swap from Port I to Port II, and intro. Maybe a more obscure game, but we had a copy of Reactor Run traded on disk over via the old interbbs and it's a classic in our book. The objective of the game is get the key then flee. SPECIAL: Joystick port swap.

Gruds in Space [KSX028]
Gruds. Little green men about four foot one. Maybe they want to have some fun. Little green men about 4 foor two. Maybe he wants to mate with you. Little green men about four foot three.

Trolls and Tribulations [KSX025]
A cherished C64 US ultra-classic from 1984/5 Creative/Designer software and that truly encapsulates early-mid 80s Commodore gaming. A side-scrolling action-puzzler: you play a troll who dives deep into the sewers, of presumably Mo-town, to retrieve valuable relics of presumably an unknown underground Wizzard. Another sort-of, maybe anniversary release from Kraksnax. It's Trolls & Tribs. Runs OK on PAL, but ideal speed & color on NTSC C64s or in NTSC-mode via emulator. Now on tape and disk!

Space Planters [KSX024]
A late 2020 unique building puzzler, where you use a pieces such as solar panels, space rocks, aliens, to combine each family substance ultimately producing the highest achievement, respectively, human space habitat, alien space city, and habitable planets. If you wish to know where Trollie Wallie retired (speakers on) play this. Nice. Additional intro pic added from KSX and Mo. Now on tape and disk!

Bounces [KSX018]
Bounces... the classic game of medieval marionette warfare This is fun for 1-player with 5 skill settings but also one of the greatest 2-player games on the Commodore 64 in our opinion. Intropic from the klassik tape release, retouched and 'enhanced.' Now on tape and disk!

Die Klapperschlange [KSX017]
A very timely game for multiple reasons in 2020, including yet another 35th anniversary game on Kraksnax. New intropic/booter from Mo + Kraksnax Hypra-load 2020 fastloader bundled on disk and optionally loaded via intro. Hypra-load was the software-based fastloader originally recommended directly upon loading Die Klapperschlange and now here with a new speedy incarnation for your convenient loading option (Intended for single drive use with no other potentially conflicting devices attached). Die Klapperschlange aka 'Snake Plissken - Die Klapperschalnge' aka 'Escape from New York' is an old obscure favorite 'underground' game from Flash - the type of game that truly represents what the Commodore 64 used to be all about for many people, and still of course with King Kraksnax.

Cyborg '82 [KSX009]
There are a few games out there called Cyborg, however, this one was the first from 1982 for the C64 - a super early title and pretty unique text adventure. The included new intro pic linked and created by Mo for the game, along with the intro game text says it all... The game also supports saved games, and a second 'Game Storage' disk is included. It's Cyborg from 1982!

Voice Racquetball [KSX008]
From 1985 the date of original UK cassette release to a late-arriving 1988 official issue of the game on disk in North America, this fun racquetball aka squash game was known under many unofficial titles, such 'voice racketball' on disk to simply squash, as actually noted in-game.

Mix up Motor Mania and start game in either 'Maniac Mode' or just play the original classic unmolested... today. Now on tape and disk!

Dr. Pimple's Dog [KSX005]
I always disliked minesweeper, a default game on Windows when Windows/DOS PCs took over the market, but... Dr. Pimple is an addictive, tough-as-nails, conceptually awesome Brit classic and as they might have said in days gone by, perhaps with a Sylvester McCoy-like (yea, I know he's Scottish) trill, "Rrrrippin. A Jolly Good Time." These are simply the pimply voices that I hear in my head. Try this puppy out and be haunted by the maniacal laughter of Dr. Pimple!

Sweet Sixteen [KSX004]
A classic 80's Chicago-area produced C64 text adventure. For pervs. Goes great with a switchblade, vasoline, cuffs, tape and maybe some Cheap Trick. I would say not for kids, but then again a kid made it, the intended audience is kids, and I'm pretty sure only kidz played it. But I will warn that this makes the movie Kids, tame. Now on tape and disk!

Fort Django [KSX003]
Basically a super-cool western saboteur game that goes great with spaghett and some red vino. Now on tape and disk!

Rabbit Pie [KSX002]

Paradroid 35th Ann. Krak [KSX001]
OK, it's Paradroid with the rare US Thunder Mountain release cover graphix. OK. it's just a re-release of an old classic crack, but a crack many old-timers used to play intropic'd. But it's a classic and still the crack many played 35 years ago and still do. Time to simply celebrate and remember the classics.
