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.

As per burmistrz for c64, I remember playing a differently looking version, all mostly black? Maybe v1? http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=20415&d=36&h=0

yess :) i was focused on 8-bit mainly but there's a lot of pc-extravaganza titles to be preserved.
