Lykia is one of those games that look stunning, but that I could never get into.

Thought this was a good one for this community as Mastertronic did loads of C16 games.

Prince of Persia was released for the Plus/4 a couple of weeks ago!

A list of Mastertronic games for the C16/+4 with sales figures.

The Great Giana Sisters is a beloved classic on C64: a platformer heavily inspired by the "Italian plumber" series (that shall not be named). The game has incredible staying power: over 100 cracks of it exist (with new ones being released even this year), there's a PETSCII version, multiple level editors, a 30th-anniversary edition with lots of extras, tributes, the list goes on. Its soundtrack by Chris Hülsbeck is one of the most popular video game soundtracks of all time.

But wait a minute, why should we, lowly Plus/4 users care about all this C64 hoopla? Simple: thanks to TCFS, the game is now available on our platform as well!

Enemies to dodge, power-ups to collect, boss fights to overcome, hidden warps to find, and 30+ levels to complete: it's all waiting for you!

The wait is over! TCFS pulls off the impossible once again, the highly anticipated conversion of the classic arcade game Turbo Outrun makes its debut on the Commodore Plus/4!

Turbo Outrun, originally developed and published by Sega in 1989, has captivated players with its fast-paced gameplay and thrilling races. For the first time, Commodore Plus/4 owners will have the opportunity to rev their engines and leave the other cars on the road in the dust. Watch out for those pesky cops though! Can you drive fast enough to make sure your girlfriend Norma doesn't leave you?

It's no hyperbole that Turbo Outrun is the best racing simulator on our system: great gameplay, awesome graphics with a great sound track. All this can be yours for the price of... absolutely free! What are you waiting for, go download it now! Also check out the companion demo: Turbo Outrun Music Box.

Pi1541 is a real-time, cycle exact, Commodore 1541 disk drive emulator that can run on a Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+ or 3A+.

Since V1.21 there are versions that run on an overclocked Raspberry Pi 0. Others have even had success running the PI0 version on an overclocked original Pi1.

Commodore 1581 emulation supported since V1.13 and V1.22 for the Pi Zero!

The software is free and I have endeavored to make the hardware as simple and inexpensive as possible.

Pi1541 provides you with an SD card solution for using D64, D81, G64, NIB and NBZ Commodore disk images on real Commodore 8 bit computers such as;-

Commodore 64

Commodore 128

Commodore Vic20

Commodore 16

Commodore Plus4

I got a ready made board a while back and it works brilliantly on the Plus/4.

Wipeout for the Plus/4. Wait... what?

In the early 80s I saw my first C-64 at my cousins place. We gamed a lot and I so wanted one of those. I begged my parents like every month, while some of my friends were given C-64s in the meantime, telling me they will share with me all of their (not so rightfully copied) games. They finally gave in and gifted me smth at my next birthday. I unpacked it and ... shit, this wasn't a beloved C-64, it was a C-16. WTF parents? (I was a young brat and didn't really grasped the concept of being grateful at all.) They thought a Commodore is a Commodore, right?

So, with no games (I bought some good titles later on) I thought about what to do with this computer.

Hello

Syntax Error

hmmm

What's my name?

Syntax Error

Stupid computer... there has to be a way the computer learns my name...

Started to take baby steps in Basic.

10 Print "your name is Downcount"

run

This really made me some kind of happy.

Second "program" asked me "What's your name" just to print the result in an endless loop.

I began to be obsessed with this "great" Basic and started to write little and bigger programs as a hobby which many many years later led to being actually being paid for writing lines.

So: Thank you parents, sorry, I was such a brat and thank you C-16 for being such nice low entry device for learning about soft- and hardware.
