Show HN: I made a retro game archive for Polish games(polishpixels.com) Hi,
As a 8-bit C64 game coder in eaarly 90ties and currently mostly FE-focused dev, decided to give a go to a simple retro game archive. This is purely fun project - so i decided to post it to HN, mayne it'll resonate :) |

As per burmistrz for c64, I remember playing a differently looking version, all mostly black? Maybe v1? http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=20415&d=36&h=0
I sure do miss the games and the sheer entertainment that it provided though. I wouldn't be here messing with software and cloud if it wasn't for that.
The best part about C64 was it immediately booted into a Basic prompt that invited you to experiment with the hardware, like typing these magic POKE commands to set screen and text colors.
It may sound corny, but games from that era are a part of our cultural history, and they are part of the history of computing, which is still quite young. Keeping them around is a service to us all, so thank you.
My friend's mom forbade him from playing it because it was too violent. Little did she know he had a few way more risky positions on that PC.
