C64 Chaos Engine logo

Originally released in 1993, the Bitmap Brothers’ acclaimed top-down shooter just missed the 8-bit era, appearing exclusively on 16-bit machines. But now, over 30 years later, a new C64 Chaos engine port is going to give one particular 8-bit format a taste of what it missed out on.

A C64 developer going by the name “Marv” and the Twitter/X handle @MoreC64 is developing a C64 Chaos Engine port, and it’s coming along very nicely so far.

While C64 Chaos Engine is still a work in progress, you can already play the first level in a browser at this link. One thing to note is that Marv recommends that you “change the SID setting to 8580 for the best audio results.”

I've been playing video games since the 1980s, from the 8-bit era onwards. I have had to play one-handed following a stroke in 2014, and I blog about playing games with one hand.
