Gates of the Ancient

Overview

If you ever believed that fast 3D space action on the C64 was a case of flickering wireframe - well, you are in for a treat.

“Gates of the ANCIENT” offers full polygon 3D exploration, battle and looting on your trusty old C64.

Explore a series of systems and galaxies, stringed together with wormhole technology. Upgrade your ship with various devices and use ancient artifacts. Fight pirates, aliens and ancient robots to keep alive in a hostile universe – or become a pirate yourself and take it from the rich.

Every game is different, but a codeword system allows you to bring you worldly possessions into your next incarnation. So you can build up your ship to reach the final goal over many sessions.

Optimized for C64 PAL - but will run on NTSC (maybe a little too fast).. Vesion 1.01 will now also work with accelerators such as SuperCPU.
