Quatris
A downloadable game
Introduction
Quatris is a game I wrote in 1992, and was the first assembly language game I had ever written. I originally planned to send it to Zzap 64! magazine, but never got round to doing so. Soon afterwards I moved on to an Amiga and my old disks were in storage, and my old C64 & 1541 had decided to give up the ghost.
Anyway, a few decades on I decided to buy a C128 and see if I could read some of my old disks. To my surprise this was still readable, so I decided to release this for free.
Compatibility
It should run on any C64/128 or emulator. I've tested it on a proper C64C (the original development machine), a C128, and VICE.

You'll either need a real Commodore 64, or a Commodore 64 emulator that supports d64 (disk) images.

Nice Tetris game with some nice animation around the scene. It is a shame that there is no sound or music in the game. It is also a shame you didn't launch this to a well known UK magazine for inclusion on the C64 cover tape in the early 1990s.
Good for a first game, glad the floppy disks still work and you got this saved. I also added it to my new "Gameplay of New C64 Games from December 2024" video along with other released C64 games.
Great game, thank you.
