Having a bit of a problem here. I bought the game and tried to download it. But I just can download the manual. I wanted to use VICE. How can I achieve that? Need some advice.
Thank you for your quick reply. After a bit of search I finally found the files. Lol. My bad. But it is a bit like a roguelike to find them ;-) Thank you. It is a really great game. It is so nice see devs care about these systems.
My daughter and I have played this game together maybe 100+ times already. It will end up being one of those games she remembers playing with her Dad, which is me. I love this. I only know it because I remember playing games that were awesome with my Dad back in the 70's. 10/10 from us.
Rogue64 running smooth as butter on the Nintendo 2DS XL via Vice3DS. The sound sounds amazing, the screen looks fantastic, and playing with the D-pad and buttons is very comfortable and intuitive. The virtual keyboard in Vice3DS even lets you access the function key shortcuts. It's a fantastic experience played this way!
We are working on an Amiga version of the game that will be pretty similar to the C64 version, except for a major graphics overhaul. We don't want to ruin the formula that worked for this game, so hopefully you will like the Amiga version aswell. 🙂
Loved playing this game on my C64 Maxi. Was finally happy to play this on my Ultimate 64, but when I select Start Game from the main menu, it goes to a black screen and nothing ever happens. This happens with both the regular crt image and easyflash image. Unfortunately I can't play this game anymore :(
I also have an Ultimate 64, and it works for me. I have however not updated the firmware in quite a while. Could you try running the U64 in Pal mode and see if that helps?
I have also heard that therehave been issues with certain cartridges when running on the U64. Try unplugging any cartridges if you are running the digital version of Rogue64.
Let me know how things go. If you can't get it to work I will try upgrading my U64 to reproduce it. 🙂
Hello, I have been running it in PAL mode. I am running the digital version, but from a USB drive. I've tried all kinds of settings changes, but can't seem to get it to work :/
Ok. I will upgrade my core and hardware. I am on 1.29 and 3.7. One last question: Rogue64 is dependent upon using the SID function for random number generation. Could it be that you have an ArmSID or some such SID replacement in you U64 that doesn't have the SID rng function? If so, could you try disabling the SID sockets and see if that helps? 🙂
Thanks for an amazing game. Coding something this engaging and with added longevity on a 64k machine is no mean feat and you pulled it off. I also cannot get the theme tune out of my head, which was still lodged in my brain from the demo - so catchy and kudos to the composer. 10/10 ! :)
Super fun game, thanks so much! I did notice some weird behavior while using my 1541 Ultimate II to run the game. I'm on a NTSC C64, so the 1.01 version hangs at the end. But loading the 1.02 version I get a black screen when selecting Start Game. However if I load the game into the Flash Disk on my U1541II then it works just fine. Kinda weird but I wanted to let you know. Thanks again for my new favorite C64 game! :)
Thank you for your kind words! And thanks for letting us know about the issues with U1541II. We have tried the game on an Ultimate64 without issues, but not a U1541II, so this was news to us.
We will have this issue on the list for any future updates of the game 🙂
I really liked the 4k version of this game for its simplicity and efficiency. The final version did not disappoint me at all ! I find the same gameplay qualities, a clear and readable graphics and an excellent replayability. congratulations ^^ !
Bought it today and finished it on the second try.. This is a great game, but way too short.. Hope for a sequel with more puzzle mechanics, monsters and content.. :-)
Thank you! We understand that it might feel a little short for experienced roguelike players. Hopefully the different potions and the randomness of the dungeons gives enough replayability value.
We will be aiming for a hardcore-mode for the next incarnation of this game :)
WARNING! IF YOU DONT WANT ANY SPOILERS: DONT READ THIS! I AM WRITING THIS TO THE DEVS TO TELL THEM HOW COOL THEY ARE!
To the Devs:
Respect for pulling of something Kojima would do! I hope this is not a bug! If it is, i wont use any newer release ;) But i seriously dont think it is a bug cause i dont get any heal potions when i get the Str-boost potion. Out of frustration and panic i drank 3 Str-boost potion to kill the enemys. When the timer runs out it only resets -1 so two potions mean +1 str! If you have 9 str and drink one, you end up with 8 str when the timer runs out! So it can be a good and a bad thing to drink! This is even better than kojimas cigarettes in mgs!
This was a great experience to me not just cause i was drunk ;) But just imagine for a moment: you are grooving to the great tune while playing that beautiful looking gem!
Down to 2 HP, no healing-potions for 5 fucking levels!
Your potions reveal the map or make you stronger AND fuck up your controls!
You NEED to get through that room with 3 monsters. You one-hit-kill one of them, run circles to dodge the others and make it to the next room with a desperately needed hp-restore-item. Pure euphoria! And then you realize that you basically got 2 Str-boost gems!
IF YOU ARE STILL READING THIS AND ARE NOT A DEV I HOPE YOU AT LEAST HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE NOW CAUSE YOU RUINED IT FOR YOURSELF LATER, WHILE YOU WHERE PLAYING!... AND THATS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Wow, thanks for the great comment! We love reading about your experience in the game, and how much you love it! Oh and congrats on finding a hidden feature 😉

Need some advice.
You need to download "rogue64_v1.03.zip", which contains a rogue64.crt file. This you can drag&drop into Vice. Let me know how that goes 😊
Thank you for your quick reply. After a bit of search I finally found the files. Lol. My bad. But it is a bit like a roguelike to find them ;-) Thank you. It is a really great game. It is so nice see devs care about these systems.

Thank you! That is a lovely story! 😊
Very fun game. Was a nice evening romp for me on my Commodore 64. I look forward to your future projects
Thank you! 😊

Thank you for the screenshot and lovely comment! 🥰 I do agree that the game works very well on emulated portable platforms! 😊
I know there is a port already in the works but have you thought about porting this version as is to the Amiga?
Great game BTW!!
Thank you!
We are working on an Amiga version of the game that will be pretty similar to the C64 version, except for a major graphics overhaul. We don't want to ruin the formula that worked for this game, so hopefully you will like the Amiga version aswell. 🙂

Hi again. Which version of the firmware and core are you running?
I'm on v1.41 and 3.10a firmware

Hi there, please could you advise how I can get this to work on my SD2IEC, many thanks, Nick (UK).
Hi. I don't think the SD2IEC supports cartridge files. There are other options though, like the Kung Fu Flash cartridge.
Rogue64 is a cartridge game, so there is no d64 option at this point. Sorry for that. I hope you get to play the game!

Whoever made this knows what made those old C64 games look good.
Thank you 🙂
