R.R Software Titles
Not worthy probably of individual entries, some of these may exist – but RR Software was one of the companies who popped up in a bedroom when the C64 was dying – very much like Visualize or EBES. The company … Continue reading
Race Drivin’
This rubber-burnin’ coin-op conversion, sequel to Atari’s classic Hard Drivin’, was expected around Christmas 1991. After the miserable attempt to get its predecessor onto the Commodore 64 (the filled polygons moved slower than London traffic), the programmers dispensed with the … Continue reading
Race Fun
Now I have to say that i’m very surprised about this entry, considering I grew up with the Vic 20 version of this fun little game. However, i’m a little sceptical to whether this was merely a mistake by the … Continue reading
Raceday

Radioactive

Rage – early differences

Rainbow
A quick entry to cover part of a series of games which DK’Tronics were looking to release in late 1984, early 1985. A news item in the December 1984 edition of Personal Computer Games suggested that following on from a … Continue reading
Rainbow Educational Software

Rastan V1
After flicking through some old C64 magazines, Commodore Computing International (January 1988) highlighted a rather strange preview shot of Rastan on the C64. Hold on… that main character looks a heck of a lot more like the arcade character – … Continue reading
Ratpack
Microprose were the kings of simulation, and Airbourne Ranger was another fine example of their brilliance back in the day. So you won’t be surprised to learn that a sequel was in development… Well, Ratpack was just that, and was … Continue reading
Ray Trace VS The Megadeath Aliens
We had a request from contributor Robin Gravel, who has spent some years looking for this Mastertronic/Virgin game that was advertised for PC back in 1988 called Ray Trace VS the Megadeath Aliens. It was described as an arcade action … Continue reading
Razzmatazz
A game aimed at young kids to teach them stuff. The game featured a sickly cute strawberry on legs. The game was surprisingly done by Rob Hubbard, again in his early days. In a chance conversation in 2003, Rob confirmed … Continue reading
Reach For The Moon

Rebelstar
Jullian Gollup’s classic budget tactical combat was very well recieved. The budget game was an improved re-release of Rebelstar Raiders and pleased pretty much everyone at the time. It was pretty much Spectrum/Amstrad only and C64 users sadly didn’t get … Continue reading
Rebelstar 2
Our next entry, Rebel Star 2 is a bit of an odd one as the first game never even got released on the C64 either. But sure enough the sequel was advertised by Silverbird in Zzap issue 44. After contacting … Continue reading
