New Commodore 64 version announced

It’s somehow been two years since Vlambeer releasedSuper Crate Boxfor PC. I distinctly remember Conrad getting obsessed with the minimalistic arcade game for a good long time and eventually causing me to get all wrapped up in it as well. Damn that disc gun!

Back then, we couldn’t believeSuper Crate Boxdidn’t cost anything to download. Today, of course, some of the later versions have a price tag. If you were holding off on getting the iOS version of the game,know that it’s free todayto celebrate the anniversary. It’s a particularly good fit for the platform given its rapid-fire gameplay, even if you might not achieve those same high scores you would elsewhere.
