play the unique duel-mode and challenge your friends. VoxelNoid takes
the classic break-out theme to a new level by integrating an amazing 3D
voxel appearance into the game-play.

Use your bat to deflect the ball and destroy all the voxel-bricks.
Destroyed bricks break into lots of voxel debris which charge your
laser-beam when collected by your ball. Use the laser to blast away even
those harder bricks that would withstand a hit by your ball. And punish
your opponent in duel-mode by sending penalty-bricks to his playfield
whenever you blast away 2 of your own bricks...

C64 BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
*************************************

From: Roberto Dillon
To: Commodore Free
Subject: C64 book

Hello Nigel,

Hope this email finds you well.

I have some updates about the book I'd like to share with you.

According to the latest news from Springer, "Ready. A Commodore 64 Retrospective" should be available by January 2015. While the price has
not been fixed yet (the one currently listed on Springer's website is a placeholder, I'm doing everything I can to have this priced like similar
books in the market and not as a high profile academic book like the placeholder price suggests), the cover has been finalized and is attached
here as a preview.

This will be the introductory text printed on the back cover:

How did the Commodore 64 conquer the hearts of millions and become a
platform people still actively develop for even today? What made it so special?

This book will appeal to both those who like tinkering with old technology
as a hobby and nostalgic readers who simply want to enjoy a trip down
memory lane. It discusses in a concise but rigorous format the different
areas of home gaming and personal computing where the C64 managed to
innovate and push forward existing boundaries.

Starting from Jack Tramiel's vision of designing computers "for the masses,
not the classes," the book introduces the 6510, VIC-II and SID chips that
made the C64 unique. It briefly discusses its BASIC programming language
and then proceeds to illustrate not only many of the games that are still
so fondly remembered but also the first generation of game engines that
made game development more approachable - among other topics that
