This is GPXhttps://pal-studio.itch.io/gpx 

It's a 1.5 years solo developing project that started simply because I wanted to code a game to play with my son.

When a friend of mine tried the game he enjoyed it so much that suggested me to share it on itch.io, so here it is now.

The game is inspired to Pitstop II, an old Commodore 64 title that I enjoyed when I was a child myself.

I bought a real C64 and some random disks off of eBay and I think Pitstop was one of the games I got along with Bubble Bobble, Star Paws and many others. The C64 eventually stopped working probably due to a bad power supply and I disassembled and resold the individual chips and other parts to get some of my money back. It was a fun experience even though I am too young to have grown up with the C64.

I wrote pong and breakout clones using a cross assembler and mostly complete clone of Pac Man but I lost my files sadly. Really a fascinating computer. 

The C64 has been the first programming and video gaming platform for an entire generation of enthusiasts.

Awesome! Good luck with your game!
