H.E.R.O. Is Back (2025, LC-Games)


This game is a homage of the 1984 classic H.E.R.O. by Activision, designed exclusively for the Commodore 64. Developed by LC-Games, it features completely new levels while preserving the originalโ€™s nostalgic charm and core mechanics.

Originally developed for the Atari 2600 by John van Ryzin and later adapted for platforms like Commodore 64, MSX, ZX Spectrum and more, it’s a standout from the golden era of 8-bit gaming

Story
