A nice amount of Commodore 64 and Gameboy Advance titles new to the site this week

This is just a tiny cross section of the 100 or so titles added to the site this week.

• Broken Sword – GBA A very rare thing on the GBA, a fully fledged adventure game on the machine, with beautifully drawn backdrops, and a very down beat story, to counter the more humour filled adventures of the day, such as Sam and Max.
• Hideous Bill And The Gi-Gants – C64 This takes my vote for the strangest name of the week, released on the Virgin label, we really must load it up and see if it lives up to it’s wonderful title
• Kane – C64 This was a series of mini games set in the wild west, and was a huge success for the Mastertronic budget label, it also appeared on the Spectrum, BBC Micro, Amstrad and also the C16 got a version.
• The Last V8 – C64 A game notable for being the first title for the Commodore 128, and one of the very few that was released for the machine, this version of The Last V8 was released later and is compatible with the C64

The latest additions for the C64 have brought about a bit of a milestone, as the library has passed over the 1,000 mark for titles logged on the site for the Commodore machine.

Later this week I should be archiving a whole host of Amiga titles, recently donated along with an impressive A500 hardware setup, including external drive, needs a bit of a clean though.
