One of my favourite photos with the Reset team, when we met up at Pax Melbourne 2015 (I think). Such a long time ago, but great memories!! Love these guys to bits. From left to right -

Exciting to think that there is still more to come!

We hope you and your loved ones have a fantastic Christmas and New Year. Stay safe!

Check out this brand new game by Haplo 🙂

Top down action-adventure games for the have become a bit of trend of late. The latest release into this genre is CAIM by H4PLO.

The game offers a mix of action, exploration and puzzles with a little bit of a story narrative. You wake up in a strange place without any recollection of how you got there. Explore the facility, avoid deadly hazards and uncover mystery. As you learn more about the place, the world and yourself, you get ever closer to putting together all the clues and reaching the exit.

Reset64 is proud to present H3LP B0DG3, a new VIC20 game by Derek.

Help "B0DG3" through the 20 levels, collecting the electronic components he needs from throughout his laboratory to complete his mega project. Unfortunately, his cheeky minions have scattered the components he needs throughout the complex. They are not to keen on B0DG3 getting them back!

H3LP B0DG3 requires 35kb of RAM and will work on both PAL and NTSC VIC20s. The game is a free download from the Reset itch page. We hope you enjoy it!
