STAY TUNED... PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Ginst Retro is our attempt to bring the Ginst experience to the legendary Commodore 64. Embracing the constraints and unique sound of the SID chip, we're crafting a pure 8-bit journey into rhythm and melody. Right now this is written in C64 BASIC, just as a proof of concept. We plan to write it in C64 assembly language in the future.
