New games are still being made for 8-bit computers. It sounds improbable, yet there are developers who take on the challenge of creating something for a platform that is archaic by modern standards — and they are not doing it purely for nostalgia. First released in 2015, Caren and the Tangled Tentacles is a showcase of what contemporary coders can achieve. The old Commodore 64 continues to surprise. These new games blend modern design sensibilities with brutally strict technical limitations.
