Fresh Homebrew: Heroes & Cowards (C64)


Heroes & CowardsHeroes & Cowards – The Pentagram of Power if you will, is an impressive, brand new fantasy adventure for the Commodore 64 by Brubaker, Sebastian Broghammer and Steve Kups. It sports an intriguing plot, lovely graphics, and --hopefully-- excellent gameplay, and involves everything from unwilling heroes and nasty magicians to broken pentagrams and medieval worlds.

The game is available complete with its manual as downloadable purchase over at itch.io. A vastly more collectible, boxed, physical version of it on 5.25" disk is available here.

The Atari ST Book a.k.a. the STBook

The rare, beautiful, and wonderfully 16-bit Atari ST Book notebook, the 1991 successor to the STacy, has appeared on eBay and you can bid on it via this Atari ST Book auction. Based on the Atari STe, this monochromatic portable computer was pretty powerful for its time, and highly sought after despite its notoriously reflective screen.

The one on offer is a working unmodified machine. It comes with a reproduction box, a pair of MIDI adaptors in their original boxes, an AA battery pack, an ACSI adaptor cable in its original box, and has had its hard-drive replaced with a CF card.
