I can't quite get over how good this looks....on a C64! This is one hell of an accomplishment. Honestly I expected to barely recognize the game, but instead it looks and feels exactly like the original VGA version I played as a kid - just with what looks like a dither filter over the original graphics (which look amazing I might add). Wow, seriously impressed. How is this possible in 64K of RAM?
Not familiar enough with the C64 to know what this means, but I'm assuming it means it "needs a little something extra" than a stock C64?
The C64 version has been in development for 16 years. The primary developer is Andreas Larsson along with a handful of other developers and people from the demo scene.
Wow, the stamina here is amazing... 16 years? I have a hard time keeping side projects going for 1-2 years.
The stock C64 came with an extension slot that allows you to plug in extra hardware - some games, for instance, you could buy as a cartridge (instead of a disk or tape) that got plugged into that slot.

The game requires "a cartridge such as an Ultimate II+, Backbit, Easy Flash 3, etc. due to its size. You will also be able to play it via VICE." [1]
