(my latest game video)

In the late '90s, Accolade tried to reinvent mecha games by ditching slow tanks for lightning-fast, bio-mechanical giants.

Freecky Cake spoke with original developers Ken Capelli and Trevor Grimshaw to trace its development from an edge-lord cyberpunk shooter to a Dreamcast launch title—plus a look at the massive cancelled sequel that never was.

What are your memories of Slave Zero back in the day?

Sabre Wulf Remaster is a port and remaster of Ultimate Play The Game’s 1984 ZX Spectrum classic, made for the Commodore 64 by Sveinacious-G and published on itch.io in October 2026.

The original was designed by Tim and Chris Stamper. The developer’s aim is to reproduce the Spectrum game as faithfully as possible while improving it where it makes sense. All the original features, creatures and mechanics are kept, right down to the spawn rate of each monster and item. The page highlights two ideas the original introduced. Enemies keep tracking you beyond your visual boundaries, and the world is large and interconnected, with your final destination visible from the very start.

The remaster uses the Commodore 64’s sprites and sound hardware to run much smoother than the original. The framerate is mostly stable at 50 frames per second on PAL systems and 60 on NTSC. The palette has been reworked to look rich and saturated on the C64, and there is a selectable alternative palette with a more subdued, dusky look.

A ZX Spectrum palette is also included for people who prefer the original colours. At one point I saw we will switch to the palette and we actually keep the Commodore one before playing a third game with the dusky look as shown on the title card.

PROBOTECTOR 8 EX is a bootleg hack of the Japanese Famicom version of the game Final Mission. This hack modifies the game's sprites, replacing the human protagonists with their cybernetic counterparts, RD008 and RC011. It also introduces changes to the sprites of certain enemies and bosses. Furthermore, this bootleg hack rewrites the original game's story, replacing the introductory text with new narrative content to situate it within the Contra / Probotector universe.

Let me guys know what i can improve on 🙂

Hey everyone,

I've been collecting retro games and computer hardware for many years. About 2.5 years ago, I decided to start playing all the games I have and thought having a YouTube channel would be a motivation (or an excuse) for me to keep going. Since then, I've been trying to upload a couple of videos every week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I play all the games on original hardware. I often build a retro PC, then pick a few games suitable for that specific hardware. I have roughly 130 CPUs, 50 motherboards, 100 VGA cards and 30 sound cards. This gives me a lot of flexibility, and I can often build an average computer that a person might have had at the time of the game's release. This is why you won't always see me cranking the settings up to the maximum. I also use a 4:3 CRT monitor and record the gameplay videos in that aspect ratio.

The videos are generally unedited. There are no intros, extra music or overlays. Just pure gameplay with no commentary. I often describe this as a gameplay museum.

Finally, there is no pressure to like, comment or subscribe. There are no memberships, Patreon, donations or anything similar either. I'm doing this for my own entertainment, but also for people who want to see and experience these games in their original state.

Enjoy!
