Do
you have some old C64 disks/tapes lying in your
basement including some classic games you haven't
found on the web yet? If you would like to play
these games from your childhood again, we can
help you to include them in the forthcoming Gamebase
Collection!
So
if you have no equipment or simply don't have
the time to get them back to life we can do this
for you. You send us your stuff and we transfer
it to the PC for you. Finally you'll get back
a CD with all images included playable with an
emulator. Check out our Transfer Service
here!

New
Database for gamebase64 v1.3b! |

Andreas
Eibach has compiled his own database for use
with v1.3b of gamebase64. The original database
that came with gamebase64 only supported up to
volume 300 of the Blast Collection and the information
in it was poorly assimilated. Andreas' database
supports up to volume 340 and the data it contains
is far more accurate than before. There is also
over 470 new screenshots!
You
can check exactly what's new in his database here,
and you can get the database and screenshots from
the download page.

James
unfortunately has very little artistic talent
(remember the splash screen in v1.3b? - hahahaah!!)
and is humbly asking for somebody to design a
new splash screen and icon for v2.0 of
gamebase64! Any artwork we receive will be considered,
the best submissions will be picked for v2.0 and
the artist will be fully credited. If you're interested,
the icon needs to be in both 16x16 and 32x32 versions
and the splash screen no larger than 400x250 pixels
(or thereabouts). Please mail your masterpieces
to gamebase64@hotmail.com!

Michael
is now back from his travels in Ireland and is
currently rummaging through all the new found
games the team has sent him. Rio Baan has supplied
us with many of these new games but they still
have to be assimilated into the collection. A
nice amount of unchecked games have been checked
this month also, bringing the release date that
little bit closer! :-)
To
date, the project status is as follows (but we
have many more games waiting to be added)...
