Loadstar Magazine for the Commodore 64 began in 1984 as a monthly disk-magazine - and continued to 2008 - publishing 250 issues packed to the BAM (Block Access Manager) with games, applications, articles, entertainments, and tutorials. We have here a number of issues for your enjoyment, available in *.D81 file format. These files work just like a 1581 disk on a VICEemulator.
In the days ahead we will be adding all of the Loadstar issues to our Resources section. If you are looking for a particular issue and if it is not listed below or is available to download the Resources section, just let us know and we'll get it posted you! It's going to take a bit of time to get all of the issues posted so keep checking in or post in the Forums what you're trying to find and we'll track it down.
The Loadstar Compleat archive is still available for purchase and download from Fender Tucker! It includes disk issues 1-199 for C64/128 and disk issues 1-42 for C128 in both D64 & D81 disk images.
You can place your order to download the entire collection for $15 USD here, and please tell Fender LoadstarCE sent you!
Games written in 2048 bytes or 512 bytes! TetrAttack is an amazing fly-through, accomplished in exactly 512 bytes. But it is just one of a bunch of them. Then play a game of Bridge, or take a couple of Lunar Adventures - or so much more!
