Buckshot Roulette on the Commodore 64 / C64

Mike Klubnika’s Buckshot Roulette on the Commodore 64: one shotgun, a hidden mix of live and blank shells, and the Dealer across the table. Gameplay of the free C64 fan port, v1.0. Download: https://ko-ko74.itch.io/buckshot-roul... The shotgun is loaded with a known number of live rounds and blanks in an unknown order. Shoot the Dealer, or put the barrel to your own head and bet on a blank, which gives you another turn. From round two, items change the odds: a magnifying glass to check the chamber, beer to rack out a shell, handcuffs, a hand saw for double damage and cigarettes to get a charge back. Survive three rounds and the Dealer offers double or nothing, which adds the burner phone, expired medicine, the inverter and adrenaline. The C64 version: • multicolour bitmap table scene with hardware sprites (muzzle flash, the shotgun’s bore, the shells falling on the title screen) • the Dealer only knows what he has seen or can count, the same as you • 25 SID sound effects and a low ambient hum • the original’s menu theme “Blank Shell” as a SID tune on the title screen • joystick in port 2, no keyboard needed • PAL C64, PRG, tested on a stock Commodore 64, on a Commodore 64 Ultimate and in VICE Download (free): https://ko-ko74.itch.io/buckshot-roul...
