The initial version of AVIATOR ARCADE was released last year as a three-level, 16KB cartridge game for the RGCD annual C64 game development competition (2014). This currently in-development sequel is a direct response to the feedback received after the first game was released, and this preview version of AVIATOR ARCADE II features:

The full version of AVIATOR ARCADE II is shaping up to be one of the best vertical shoot-em-up games available for the Commodore 64, offering players a console quality arcade experience on the humble 8-Bit home computer!

The game is now complete (with many significant changes and upgrades in comparison to the preview) and is going though final testing in preparation for a cartridge and disk release via RGCD and Psytronik in 2018.

Playing AVIATOR ARCADE II on Windows, Mac or Linux

Please note that the downloadable Commodore 64 version available here is primarily for use with emulators, but can also be run on a real C64 via hardware such as the 1541 Ultimate II or Turbo Chameleon. For emulator users, we recommend VICE, as it works on a variety of operating systems and is very user friendly. In fact, we’ve even included a pre-configured Windows, Mac and Linux version of the emulator with the download as well as some simple user instructions (we’re nice like that).
