I remember playing a pretty simple Basic game on my Commodore+4 called "Kubusiowe Litery" or "Kubusiowe Literki", unfortunately my cassette with the game got damaged, and I cannot find a source of it anywhere. I feel sad that the game may get lost in time like tears in rain. ;(

actually, this "tears in the rain" vibe was one of the strongest behind this project. Preserve.

Any more details about this “tears in the rain”?

Very nice. Extra points for supporting light mode.

It may sound corny, but games from that era are a part of our cultural history, and they are part of the history of computing, which is still quite young. Keeping them around is a service to us all, so thank you.

From a Czechoslovak video game archivist, well done! We have our own databases of video games and even a dedicated person reviewing every single public release on 8-bit micros, but no website with such a clear presentation. Inspiring!

It's Angular/nestjs/mysql combo, CMS kidna "works", but if Czech friends would like to use it to share it's own creations i'll surely willing to help :)

Slovak friends get no love ;)

I was searching for Franko and sure enough - it's there. My friend's mom forbade him from playing it because it was too violent. Little did she know he had a few way more risky positions on that PC.

I played commando libya as a kid (younger than 8). I had fun shooting the little pixel-men, even the ones on the wall. To me there was no connection to reality, it was just a toy. I had no understanding of global political issues or war, at all.
