ROGUEish
A downloadable game
ROGUEish is a rogue-like for the C64 computer (either via emulation or on real Hardware).
It was inspired by "Rogue 64" (a c64 game), "RogueCraft" (an Amiga game), and to some extent, Marvel Avengers Alliance (an online game that is now dead).
To try before you buy, you can download a free 2-level demo before you purchase the full version (which will be coming soon here as well!) :)
There is a documentation help file that you can look at, too. Happy adventuring!!
Objective:
See how high up you can climb the tower before you are killed.
Controls:
Joystick in port 2 controls movement & mode selection (either move/melee attack or look/ranged attack). To grab loot, just walk over it. To attack monsters, bump into them (or aim with cross-hairs and hit fire when in range).

I really love this game. I like Roguecraft and Rogue 64 but I really need to see the final version of your game. Really good job.
Btw: What is the advantage of the Bow instead of the sword. Maybe I missed something ?
It might also a good idea to have a more detailed description of the weapon magic features.
Thanks for the kind words! :)
The bow has a longer range (is an advantage), but usually less damage, and you have less defence (no shield), so it's a balance.
All the weapon "magic" features are explained in the .pdf file, do you feel I should add more there (not sure what though)?
+ Very addictive game. This has a lot of potential!
- As others already mentioned: the title music needs to go XD
😁😁 regarding the title music, that's mine lol 😂 (you could always hit fire 😅). I've not done any music before, so my apologies, and I not gotten anyone make a tune for me...
Incredible! 😮 From what official online BBS can we download this from straight to our C64/C128 systems, so everyone can enjoy it and try it out??
Thanks for the kind words about my humble game!! It will be released right here on this page when done (hopefully soon) :)
But this isn't an online BBS we can download the game straight to our C64/C128 systems from 🫤. That's why I asked where we can expect to officially find it, seeing there are quite a few online BBS boards out there.
No, itch.io is not a BBS. There might be a way to use a modem and modern software to download from itch.io onto a C64, but I don't know about that at all. Sorry.
I would have to upload it to a BBS someone was hosting to allow you to do that.
Also, the full game will be a PAID download, not free...only the demo is free.
Great demo. Can't wait to play the final version... And see how far I can go :)
I finished the two levels of the game and explored all 50 rooms.
Very very nice, but... please, in the final version, change the BEEP initial music that is truly terrible :-D
Curiosity, once you die in the game, what button do you have to press to start again?
I have the same question about the "game over" part.
I'm afraid the BEEP initial music was my creation lol I doubt it's going to change :D I could reduce it's volume a little?
After dying, press fire again (port 2) to go back to the title screen...
I played it with the VICE and once you die, the FIRE is not recognized, while "in game" it works correctly.
Hi, I just confirmed in VICE that the same fire button works to get you back to the title screen after the "you have died message" showing [OK] comes onto the screen.
Ok, so the problem, at least in my case, is that once I die, no writing appears!
I have no way to select OK!

Thank you! ROGUEish – Demo version
What an awesome writeup, thanks!!!! Bows...
Seems to be the same demo like on Zzap!64 covermount 24.
Hope this game will be finished.
It is the same (some tiny changes since), they wanted the demo for the cover disk :)
Very interesting idea 😁 I can't wait for the full release ☺️ Nevertheless, I would like, as editor of K&A PLUS, to talk to you about this game. Feel free to contact me by email

Where do we purchase the full version?
When it's released here ☺️☺️ hopefully soon :D
