C64 Forever 2009.1 Ranking & Summary
December 9th, 2009
C64 Forever 2009.1 is designed to give you a useful, comprehensive package which embodies an intuitive player interface, backed by a built-in database containing more than 5,000 C64 game entries, and advanced support for the new RP9 format, dubbed the “MP3 of retrogaming.
Major Benefits:
- Smooth setup: it takes only a few mouse clicks to install and run (no additional downloads required)
- Intuitive, simple and refined user interface, in which player, content, database and search are seamlessly integrated (not a “front end” that launches an external emulator)
- Built-in RetroPlatform Library database featuring thousands of titles, with online updates
- As some projects kept adding options year after year, C64 Forever strived to keep options to a minimum, as RetroPlatform components take sophisticated decisions behind the scenes
- If you know how to use Amiga Forever you are instantly familiar with C64 Forever, and vice versa
- Support for revolutionary RP9 format (one click to play, one file per title, no need to zip or unzip games or manage multiple disk images, etc.)
- Support and recognition of other popular disk, tape, cartridge and save state formats, with options to identify uncataloged similar variants (not a simple “checksum” approach)
- Built-in search-as-you-type for installed content and custom one-click internet search for games and demoscene productions
- Tested on Windows 7 (both x86 and x64)
