  1. Trenchangle: Tower Defense on the C64

    I picked up Issue 31 of Zzap! 64 yesterday evening and had a quick look at the covermount disk. There's a few really good-looking games there but one that caught my eye was Trenchangle, a tower defense game! I'm a sucker for the genre, but it took me several tries to even finish level one. I should have added arrows to the arrow tower instead of expanding the tech tree available. Lesson learned. The game doesn't require a joystick, and it's possibly easier to play in an emulator because you […]

  5. Trenchangle: Tower Defense on the C64

    I picked up Issue 31 of Zzap! 64 yesterday evening and had a quick look at the covermount disk. There’s a few really good-looking games there but one that caught my eye was Trenchangle, a tower defense game!

    I’m a sucker for the genre, but it took me several tries to even finish level one. I should have added arrows to the arrow tower instead of expanding the tech tree available. Lesson learned.

    The game doesn’t require a joystick, and it’s possibly easier to play in an emulator because you can use the cursor keys to navigate. I couldn’t see anywhere to redefine keys so that joystick might make it easier to play on a real machine.

    Game progress can be saved and reset, which means I’ll definitely be coming back to this game for quick plays. It looks like it saves in a file called “GEOTSTATE”, which wasn’t there when I first opened the D64 file so it can be deleted.

    There is a cracked and trained copy on CSDB, but this is a brand new C64 game. Support the developer and pay what you want on their itch.io page.
