Ruote Fumanti (Smoking Wheels) - A rather cool little racer for the Commodore 64 by charger0277
Ruote Fumanti (Smoking Wheels) is a new Commodore 64 racing game by charger0277 that runs a smooth 50 fps on a stock PAL C64 using only 24 KB of memory, with no expansions required and full compatibility with original hardware, flashcarts and emulators. The title features pixel-by-pixel road scrolling, eight simultaneous sprites, a custom engine, original graphics and a chiptune soundtrack, and delivers a highly stable performance (0.1 % frame-drop rate across 9,600 test frames). Gameplay includes aggressive traffic, environmental hazards such as ice, deep fords and rock ravines, and ends each of its eight stages with a one-on-one police-car showdown.
