Retrogaming lovers step forward! 8-Bit Wonders it is a project that wants to make you return to the 80s, at least as far as the gaming part is concerned! It is in fact a real one emulator of the Commodore C64 he was born in Commodore VIC 20 for Android. However, updates and new supported devices are planned for the future!
One of the things we liked most about this emulator is its simplicity of use. Pre-installed we find already loaded the working emulators of the two computers mentioned above and also some games.
8-Bit-Wonders, pre-installed games
- Bubble Escape, released for the first time in the 1980s and remade by the same author in 2009. It is a game where the protagonist is a bubble that must manage to escape from a maze without exploding. But according to the author, who certainly has a lot of imagination, the story is a little different and decidedly more captivating: you, a sentient soap bubble, have been arrested for your political beliefs by your society's ruling class, an ancient race of dragons. You find yourself imprisoned in a labyrinthine prison from which you must escape. There is only one exit, which requires five different keys to open. Keys are found randomly throughout the dungeon, but each room has its own dangers: moving walls, fireballs, hovering sentry robots, and dragon officers. Being a soap bubble, you have to be very careful not to touch any of these dangers and even the walls of the dungeon, otherwise you will burst. Fortunately, bubbles, like cats, have nine lives.
- Monty on the Run, a classic platformer that couldn't be more classic. Published in 1985 (the same year as Super Mario Bros!) and the aim of the game is to survive the various levels while staying well away from the enemies.
- Formula 1 Simulator (Archive | Conifer), the must-have Formula 1 game! It's really well done and if you're a fan of the genre we're sure you'll appreciate it!
- Pac-Mania (Archive | Conifer), a variant of the classic Pac-Man but with the same game mode. In fact, you will have to eat all the dots to move on to the next round without being touched by the ghosts.
Since this is an emulator you can also install any ROM (game file) for these two devices. We don't link you to any site to download them because, even though 40 years have passed since the release of all these games, we don't want to run into possible problems. However we tried a few and 8-Bit-Wonders seems to perform well!
If you have to do so, keep in mind that, as the developers themselves say: be warned, computer games of old were harder than mobile games of today, so you might have to give it a few tries. Playing with a hardware joystick is certainly easier than with a virtual touch joystick.
Download and play on Android!
We therefore hope that we have unlocked some memories for you or, if you are not over 30, that we have intrigued you to try something vintage but new to you!
