   Alf Yngve brings a sequel to Double or Nothing, which takes you further   
   into the future.  Now you are battling in two worlds against ferocious   
   enemy forces.  This game consists of huge sprites and uses clever concepts.   
   Both players are limited to the ground, and cannot climb or jump.  There   
   are plenty of huge robots in which you must fight and destroy - should you   
   wish to progress any further into the game.

           CBMDISK TOOLS V1.0.0   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by: Style   
      
   CBMdisk Tools is a collection of command line utilities written using the   
   CBMdisk Python module.  They provide some Unix-inspired capabilities for   
   working directly with content on many Commodore disk, file and archive   
   formats.  You may find them useful in and of themselves, or as some working   
   examples of how to use the CBMdisk Python module.   
      
   This first release includes:   
      
   * cbmls - Unix ls-like (see the image above for some example output using   
     PETSCII in Windows cmd shell)   
      
   * cbmcat - Unix cat-like   
      
   * cbmod - Unix od-like   
      
   * cbmstitch - write files in specific t/s order   
      
   * cbmvrm - c64 virus detect/neutralize

              CBMDISK V3.1.0   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by: Style   
      
   The first public release of CBMdisk, a development library that provides   
   the core disk/file/archive manipulation functionality used in DirMaster as   
   a Python module.   
      
   As one example of the kinds of problems we think this can help you solve   
   quickly, we've included a solution to the matter posed in a recent blog   
   post, "Party Quiz program by SunCom" by Pinacolada - extracting all   
   questions and answers from a set of game disks in a text format to be   
   further processed.

       NUCLEAR STRIKE FORCE [SEUCK]   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by: The New Dimension   
      
   Get ready for pure blasting and destruction with my latest game.  'Nuclear   
   Strike Force' takes you into the year 2031.  You fight against the 'Red   
   Section', a military group, whose leader builds a powerful Nuclear rocket   
   on the Red Island, and starts a nuclear war.  President Rocket calls for   
   the 'Nuclear Strike Force' to try and put an end to the war by sending a   
   commander in to send some pilots out to the war zone.  That commander is   
   unfortunately you.  Collect airships for power ups.   
      
   This game was originally designed and created using the Shoot Em Up   
   Construction Kit by TND, and then was imported into the latest version of   
   the SEUCK Redux engine.  The game consists of a brand new animated front   
   end, enemy AI firing, in-game music, animated background, and power ups.   
      
   Looking at all of these enhancements will make you wonder and ask yourself,   
   "Is this game really SEUCK?"

              EXOMIZER V2.0.9   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by: Zagon   
      
   Exomizer is a program that compresses files in a way that tries to be as   
   efficient as possible but still allows them to be decompressed in   
   environments where CPU speed and RAM are limited.  For some popular 8-bit   
   computers using 6502 compatible CPUs it can also generate executable files   
   that decompress themselves in memory when run.   
      
   The Exomizer program itself is a console application written in ANSI-C.   
      
   Exomizer operates in two major modes.  It has a raw mode that compresses   
   plain files and produces plain files.  This mode is used by the raw   
   subcommand.  All other subcommands use the second mode.  It requires all   
   source files to be targeted to be decrunched at specific addresses in the   
   16-bit address space of the target computer.  In this mode, no file can be   
   larger than 64kB since all data must be addressable using 16-bits.  The   
   targeted mode has the following features:   
      
   * It reads plain or .prg files to any given address.   
      
   * It can produce stand-alone self-decrunching files for the following targets:   
      
     * Commodore VIC20, C64, C16/plus4 and C128   
     * Atari 400/800 XL/XE   
     * Apple ][+ and //e   
     * Oric-1 and Oric Atmos   
      
   * It can produce files for both "in memory" and "from disk" decrunching.   
      
   * It handles RLE-sequences well, no packer is necessary.   
      
   * It is able to link/combine more than one source file into the same   
     crunched target file.   
      
   Exomizer version 2.0 has been released and is available for download.   
   Included in the downloadable zip file are the source code and pre-compiled   
   binaries for DOS and Win32.  It also includes a makefile for Gnu make and   
   gcc so it should be easy to build on any system where these tools are   
   available

                 COS V1.0   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by:  Jim_64   
      
   This project was started (so the author says) as a simple experiment to see   
   if a "modern" looking graphical user interface for the commodore 64.  Once   
   the basic user interface was working, optional touch screen support was   
   added.  You can however use cOS with a standard joystick or the cursor   
   keys.   
      
   There is a A Test / Demo 5.25" disk with a similar feel to a basic tablet.   
   The iPad style apps are if you have a real Commodore 64 or want to try it   
   out in an emulator.  Here are links to the disk images for sides A and B of   
   the Test/Demo disk.
