Another game from the #CommanderX16 forums: Crazy Solitaire
Like Tetris, every platform needs a solitaire, and this one is mouse driven and well-made! Very "I miss Windows 3 Solitaire" in a good way.

I somehow missed this game still in development for the X16 from back in November. fearlabsaudio and one other developer are working on this platformer called Karn.
Hope they get the chance to finish it. This looks awesome with the parallax, sprite animation and even some music already in it.

Looks like @mooinglemur.bsky.social is working on another X16 port from the #nes. Love seeing the Box16 emulator in action!

Saw this repost of #xkcd today and remembered that David was working on an #alienabduction game. Maybe it needs an Easter egg where the abductee starts asking all these questions.

Good news from Lazer3D, makers of the official case for the Commander X16. Pre-orders are available again!
They’re waiting on some materials, so the first cases will ship in 4-6 weeks. A larger mini-desktop case is planned for later this year, as well.
