    SPEED PINBALL RELEASED
    *************************************

    The website says this version was created with the Commodore 64 Pinball Construction Set. The gravity/physics seems a bit suspect, but it's a
    playable version. Use a joystick in port 2 to play.

    FLOODIT - FOR THE PLUS/4 RELEASED
    *************************************

    Csabo has released another game for the Plus 4 called Floodit

    It's a popular colour-elimination game, and like 2048, this variation is
    based on a Flash adaptation of the same name available from here floodit.appspot.com/ The object is to fill a multi-coloured screen of
    blocks starting from the top-left corner, reducing the coloured blocks to
    just a single colour by pressing corresponding colour keys 1 to 8
    (depending on the difficulty level). You only have so many moves to
    achieve a 100% mark with 16 levels. You also accumulate points on each
    level with extra bonus points for 100% completion of any given level, which adds towards the total score. There is also a random practice mode which
    will give you a random layout to hone your skills on.

    2048 GAME RELEASED FOR THE PLUS/4
    *************************************

    Csabo has released a new game for the Commodore Plus/4.

    You have to move blocks with numbers written on them around the screen.
    When you connect together two blocks with the same numbers the blocks are merged. The goal of the game is to achieve the number 2048. The game is
    16 Kbytes and compatible with both PAL and NTSC.

    COMMODORE16.COM WEBSITE REVAMP
    *************************************

    The commodore16.com site style has been revamped. The original web page
    was created over 10 years ago by Chris. The newly-designed website now
    looks much more like a Commodore C16 screen with custom 8-bit fonts.
