Traps 'n' Treasures for the Amiga (Starbyte Software/1993). Charming and polished pirate-themed platform adventure with exploration, inventory, puzzles, etc. Goal is to rescue your imprisoned crew members. Was essentially created by a single person, Roman Werner, who coded and designed the game under the name Nightingale. It's a hidden gem and Amiga exclusive that showcases the indie, one-man passion project spirit that was so common on this platform.

A little video I put together for 'Goat!Beat!' on the #c64 , a cool modern music rhythm game on the old breadbox .

GoatBeat for the #Commodore64 Awesome little game. I think WASD keys instead of a joystick would work really well. I'll be right back with something in a few minutes. #C64

Trying out Henry’s House after reading about Timo’s Castle in the latest issue of #Freeze64. It’s pretty good fun but yes, it’s annoying when you fall just a little too far! Looking forward to Timo’s Castle next... #Commodore64 #C64
