Loved CF? Then read this! Celebrating Future PLC’s ‘90s C64 magazine. Unofficial, with no connection to the publisher. www.commodoreformatarchive.com
I bought Thin Ice from Thalamus last night. Super fun action puzzler sort of thing. I would recommend it and it makes me think about doing CF reviews on the site again 🤔 That’s it, that’s the post. It’s a cool game .
🥔 A first encounter with Wild West Seymour tonight. A Speccy convo, but playable enough and packed with very meta charm (on level 1, you’re at the Codemasters office). If you wanna tackle it CF style, the full solution and maps are in issues 32 and 33 (May/June ‘93).
In fact, Ollie gets a credit at the end of the game proper!
We were sent this intro from a Mayhem crack, which on booting reproduces Commodore Format art editor Ollie Alderton’s magazine advertisement for the game. It featured in both CF and Commodore Force.
Haha. “Basically not play the game at all Y/N?”
A very nice addition on the Easyflash version of the game. 👌🏻
“wet your finger and repeatedly rub Joystick Port 1 for infinite lives”
Hi! If you’ve got a TheC64 Microswitch joystick or the Quickshot II that is TheC64 compatible and you’d be willing to sell me it, please let me know. Needs to be posted to a UK address.
Enjoying Traps n' Gemstones C64. It’s a free download too if you’re looking for something new this weekend.
A new town named after a beloved and popular Briton? Look no further than Radcliffe.
September 1994: A fantastic request in the Wanted section of CF 48’s small ads. Wonder if he found one? 🙏🏻
This could actually be level 2 of Creatures!
Been playing Cyberdyne Warrior. It’s cool to see graphics and sound which hint at - and were sometimes refined for - the Rowlands brothers’ next game, Creatures. ❤️
Bart versus the Space Mutants is tough, and the time limit stops you exploring as much as you might. Which is a shame ‘cos it’s packed with humour and Easter eggs. You can use a coin to call Moe’s Tavern, for example. ❤️
This happened to my micro switch joystick for TheC64…anything worth doing to save it? It hasn’t snapped, just detached. Still works but keeps falling off.
Only took about 35 years 😂😂 Absolutely in bits that the final boss, the fabled Shadow of the Beast, is a toenail 💀
❤️ It’s now 35 years since issue 1 of CF went on sale 😱 👌🏻 In one of our personal favourite pieces from the Archive, deputy editor Sean Masterson tells us about the road to launch: 🔗 commodoreformatarchive.com/the-sean-mas...
18 months later Hulk was back - the first character to appear on a CF cover more than once (the only other one’s Mayhem!).
