terminal programs for your 30 year old commodore is nothing really new, but this one is a bit special:
it is designed as a cartridge, so you do not have to load any programm, but rather just turn on your c64.
the serial connection is being etablished with the build in 232 routines; very simple, but slow.
just a little glue to get the same voltage levels on both sides, C64 and Linux PC...

On the PC side you need to teach your Linux to talk not too much (40 colums 25 rows on the c64)

the authors manual is great: http://formica.nusseis.de/Cater/

GET EM dx

(needless to say again this rottensteiner game is addictive)



The Game is like Pacman meets Duke: shoot the monsters and eat the cookies in a maze. Different monsters, cool "bonus weapons" and a 2 player mode make this C64 game the best release in 2012 (for me ;-) )

and of course here'S some video for you (after the break)
