MiSTer FPGA - Rogue64 / Commodore 64
10Rogue64 is a new C64 game by Badgerpunch Games: https://badgerpunch.itch.io/rogue64
Based on a cassette tape version of rogue that was only 4kb in size, Rogue64 is one of the simplest rogue style games I've played before. The game received a nice coat of paint and some catchy tunes in this proper remake/release.
This video was my first clear for the game. Got lucky with the two best potions fully stocked at the end. Oddly enough, on the boss level (stage 8) a key will still drop, but you should avoid it since it just takes up a valuable inventory slot.
This is a very short game that won't take seasoned rogue players long to get through. There are a couple hidden mechanics that help along the way though, if you discover them. The randomization of potions gives limited replayability, but it can be a fun challenge to try and get yourself through a run with the worst RNG luck possible on the potions. IMO the drunk and reveal potions are by far the most useless.
You can try the original 4k cassette version here: https://badgerpunch.itch.io/rogue4k
Note: I'm using 5x integer scaling for this video to fill the screen better. This generally works well with most C64 games. Also, this game is an anamorphic widescreen release, so it will only have the correct aspect ratio when you stretch it to a full 16x9 with PAL mode selected in the core.
