Apeshit

If you're looking for a blast from the past that's both simple and seriously challenging, Apeshit for the Commodore 64 is a must try. This free action ROM captures the spirit of classic 80s arcade games with its straightforward one button controls you play as a monkey swinging through trees, grabbing bananas, and dodging pesky insects. It’s easy to pick up, but don’t be fooled: the fast paced action will test your reflexes and keep you coming back for more.

The retro pixel art and chiptune soundtrack are pure nostalgia, making it a treat for longtime C64 fans and a fun history lesson for newer players. You’ll need either original hardware or an emulator like VICE or CCS64 to run it, but once you do, you’ll find yourself hooked on chasing high scores. While there are no fancy bosses or achievement systems, the game’s simplicity is part of its charm plus, a built in trainer lets you play with cheats if things get too intense. For a dose of old school fun with a modern indie twist, Apeshit delivers.
