Marcelo Cabral's new remake called 'Retaliate - Community Edition' and 'Retaliate DX' has been released for the C64. For those who haven't heard of this game before, this is a remake of the Roku shoot em up of the same name as one of the most successful games for that platform, which is similar to Space Invaders, Galaxian and Galaga but instead features an unusual game mechanic...

Unlike the brilliant and very classic games that are well worth playing today, in Retaliate you start with no bullets, and the only way to survive is to use your shield to not only defend yourself from being destroyed in one hit, but also the shield itself. You can also collect enemy bullets and use them to counterattack. However, keep in mind that your shield is not unlimited, because the more you use it, the more your energy will decrease and you will need to replenish it... So good luck!
