What Is This New LESTER 2023 C64 Game? #lester #c64 #commodore64
6A NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER
Welcome to Lester!
This game takes inspiration from modern MSX metroidvanias like Ghost / Minighost (which is clearly the most direct inspiration for it) and the old Konami's productions like The maze of Galious.
Lester is my first release for the Commodore 64. Actually this is my hello world project started fiddling with a TRSE tutorial which then, in a three year arc, became a graphic adventure engine, a zelda-like engine, a single screen platform engine, an attempt to convert Minighost and then a standalone game. It's been quite a long and twisty road... But here it is!
I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it.
The Commodore 64, also known as the C64, is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International (first shown at the Consumer Electronics Show, January 7–10, 1982, in Las Vegas). It has been listed in the Guinness World Records as the highest-selling single computer model of all time, with independent estimates placing the number sold between 12.5 and 17 million units. Volume production started in early 1982, marketing in August for US$595 (equivalent to $1,670 in 2021). Preceded by the VIC-20 and Commodore PET, the C64 took its name from its 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes) of RAM. With support for multicolor sprites and a custom chip for waveform generation, the C64 could create superior visuals and audio compared to systems without such custom hardware.
