New C64 release: El Cartero!

Join us for an exciting platformer starring a brave mailman – El Cartero – on a mission to deliver letters to all corners of the world. Along the way, he’ll face hostile creatures, and the letters he needs to collect often fall into tricky, hard-to-reach places. The game is available on floppy disk, packaged in a stylish custom envelope (our first attempt at custom floppy packaging!), as well as on cassette tape. You can also get a discounted bundle that includes both formats.

New C64 box release: Devolution: Eternal Winter / Shipwrecked

We’re thrilled to present the second release of strategy games from Windigo Productions for the C64! After the medieval Die Kaufmannsgilde and the modernist Spediteur, it’s time to explore the future – both the imagined and the possible!

Devolution – Eternal Winter is a real-time strategy game set during a global ice age triggered by the impact of a massive asteroid. Few survived the initial strike and the chaos that followed. But without sunlight and warmth, this is only the beginning of the real struggle – a fight that demands swift tactical decisions and long-term strategic planning.

Shipwrecked, a Mars mission ending with a hard landing, is a complex puzzle game where you must consider many interdependent factors when planning your actions. Choose from a wide range of options to ensure the survival of your crew. There are many possible solutions, and every element in the game has at least one use – some are obvious, while others require close observation and insight.

Both games are delivered on a single floppy disk. The box also includes an English-language manual, postcards, and a sticker.

PAST ISSUES

The Commodore is Ready. Are You?

Komoda & Amiga Plus, or K&A+ for short, is a paper magazine dedicated to Commodore´s range of home computer systems produced between 1977 and 1994. Commodore´s venture into the nascent industry started with the Commodore PET designed by Chuck Peddle and Jack Tramiel, followed in 1980 by the first million selling computer: the VIC-20, a feat surpassed a few year later by the Commodore 64, the best selling home computer in history with over 30 million units. Alongside these bestsellers, Commodore also released a plethora of models with varying degrees of success, including the Plus/4, the Commodore 16 and the Commodore 128, among others. 

All of these 8 bit machines were popularly known in Poland by the affectionate name of “Komoda”, a word also used to designated a certain piece of furniture which eventually became the first half of our magazine´s name. The second part, Amiga, comes from Commodore´s range of 16 and 32 bit computers, manufactured between 1985 and 2004. After the revolutionary Amiga 1000, Commodore conquered the hearts and pockets of the late eighties youth with its budget Amiga 500 model, superseded by the Amiga 1200 or A1200 in 1992. The big box models, known as A2000, A3000 and A4000, were popular with video and 3D professionals due to their built in graphics and video capabilities.

Albeit a series of misguided management decisions led Commodore to file for bankruptcy in 1994, its legacy lives on its enthusiastic user base. To this day, hundreds of thousands of fans have kept playing, programming, designing and composing with their Commodore and Amiga computers. It is for them, and for you reader of this text, wondering if there is a conclusion to all this blurb or is it just some SEO friendly list of keywords, that we embarked on this project.

Edited in two languages – Polish and English – by an international team of die-hard retro fans, K&A+ warps you to those fascinating years with over eighty pages of game reviews, opinion articles, event reports, tutorials and interviews in gloriously colorful glossy paper. But don´t let the looks fool you, because there´s no old or recycled content in K&A+: only the freshest news, the most unbiased reviews and the deepest insights, presented in an entertaining, fluid style and delivered to your door every three months – worldwide.
