Reading the latest #FREEZE64 is going to be much more interesting than looking out the window on this train (that’s restricted to about 30 mph). Say, @freeze64.bsky.social, why is DARTH VADER getting a mention in the issue-number box?

A little Commodore 64 preservation today with an early prototype of Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo from 1991 added to Games That Weren't. Likely a progress build, there's no sound and potentially a few differences to the final game. www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/09/scoo...

Matt Gray: Green Beret Main Theme (R5 Version)
Another track from Matt Gray's Reformation 5 dropped today:Matt Gray: This time it's one of the remakes for the main R5 album and an all time favourite C64 tune Green Beret Title/Main Theme by the maestro Martin Galway. I must have re started on this track half a dozen times over the last couple of years and I finally found a blend of SID elements and new parts that I really like. I can still remember the Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1986 that I bought this game and rushed home to load it up and check out what Mr G had conjured up. The loading music was excellent but this title theme blew me away at the time. Hopefully you all feel much the same when you hear this new version.

Today marks the 16th anniversary of L'Abbaye des Morts. And we're working on an update! It was a small side project that @gryzor87.bsky.social and I made in the afternoons during a week-long trip to France. We released it in the void, but somehow it became a classic within the homebrew scene.

Matt Gray: Central Park Loading Theme (R5 Version)
Posted by Matt Gray today for his Kickstarter backers: Some good news in this update as I have another finished Last Ninja 2 R5 track for you to hear and it's my new version of Central Park Loading Theme. I've put it up on Bandcamp where you can listen or download and hopefully the rest of the LN2 R5 album won't be too far away.

Thank you, UK Government. That scared the bejaysus out of me.
A spoof UK Government severe alert warns of a national risk of “biscuit collapse” caused by leaving biscuits in tea too long. It cautions that Hobnobs are not invincible, Digestives can fail without warning and Rich Teas should not be attempted by amateurs. Prolonged dunking may cause “catastrophic separation,” endangering tea, dignity and soft furnishings. If a biscuit begins to sag, users should withdraw immediately, avoid attempting rescue with another biscuit and deploy a spoon.
