C64 Emulation is a solved problem. But the fact that there are always people who still want to solve this problem again is particularly appealing ... 😁

Among other things, we can thank our modern multi-GHz and multi-core architectures, that the specification of 8- and 16-bit CPUs can be emulated in real time without any problems, and thanks to WASM even highly performant in the browser.

The (unfortunately unknown) team behind the platform C64Online thought so too.

Their current claim: more than 7000 C64 games should be playable directly in the browser. A search quickly turned up gems like International Karate and Nebulus - both absolutely playable.

To us it is currently unclear what the copyright situation is, but the titles we played, are also available in the C64 library of archive.org. There you will find currently more than 17000 titles. 😵
