Backstreet Beatdown -PC-

 by Mackas


Backstreet Beatdown is a classic beat 'em up that wears its inspirations proudly — think Streets of Rage, Final Fight, and Double Dragon, rebuilt from the ground up with modern polish and old-school attitude.

The streets are dirty. The enemies are plentiful. Your fists are the only law.

Pick your fighter from a roster of hard-hitting brawlers — each with their own stats, playstyle, and reason to throw hands. Work through waves of street thugs before going face-to-face with BigEd, the big boss who's been running this block way too long.

Features:

  • Old-school beat 'em up gameplay with tight, satisfying combat
  • Smash crates and barrels for health pickups and power-ups
  • Speed, power, shield and health boosts to turn the tide of a fight
  • Combo system — chain your hits, build the pressure
  • Pre-boss cutscene that sets the mood before the final showdown
  • 2-player local co-op — bring a friend
  • Highscore board — settle who's the real champ
  • Full gamepad support

A love letter to the golden age of beat 'em ups. No checkpoints. No mercy. Just backstreet justice.

Rob-Ball (C64)

 by Hanyic.Robert


Rob is back! After the success of Rob-Man, the journey continues with Rob-Ball, a high-octane brick-breaker that pushes your C64 to its limits. This isn't just another clone; it’s a fully polished, assembly-coded arcade experience.

Experience the ultimate Arkanoid-reimagining on the Commodore 64! Featuring smooth parallax scrolling, 24 randomized stages, and a unique "Coffee Break" help system.

What makes Rob-Ball unique?

  • Parallax Backgrounds: Immerse yourself in the action with multi-layered, smooth-scrolling backgrounds that give the game a sense of depth never before seen in this genre on the C64.
  • 24 Randomized Levels: Tired of the same old order? Rob-Ball shuffles all 24 stages every time you play, ensuring no two sessions are ever the same!
  • Open Border HUD: We’ve opened the top and bottom borders using sprite-multiplexing to display your score, lives, and level, leaving the entire main screen dedicated to pure gameplay.
  • Dynamic Physics: Feel every impact! The paddle reacts physically to the ball, and floating obstacles will test your reflexes to the max.
  • The Coffee Break System: Need a breather? Hit the coffee key anytime for an interactive help screen with a steaming cup of coffee. When you're ready, jump right back exactly where you left off.
