If you think the Commodore 64 cannot handle real-time strategy games, think again.
When The 8-Bit Guy presented Planet X2 in 2017, it was the first game of its kind for the C64 and it sold more copies than any other C64 game in that year, even though also Sam's Journey was released in the same year (well, END of the same year)!
Planet X2.1 is a collaboration product between Protovision and The 8-Bit Guy: our development team has taken up Planet X2 and brought it to the next level, with in-game music and sound effects, improved graphics and an achievement system, amongst other things.
Features of Planet X2.1:
completely overhauled codebase resulting in a number of game play improvements
the game now runs completely from cartridge
additional playfields - now counting 14 maps
8 selectable in-game tunes
simultaneous in-game music and sound effects
new graphics from our pixel magician John Henderson (known for his artwork in The Wild Wood)
an achievement system, graphically represented by 42 different medals
achievements saved to cartridge
