A Milasoft Release
Release Date: August 5, 2026

Introduction

This is a package of fast-paced arcade-style games for Commodore computers. All games are 100% machine language with keyboard and joystick support where possible.

ASTEROIDZ

Pilot your spacecraft through a dangerous asteroid field and destroy as many asteroids as possible. Your objective is to survive for as long as you can while earning the highest possible score.

Remain alert: hostile UFOs may enter the area and open fire without warning.

Available for:

• Commodore 64
• Commodore VIC-20 with 16K memory
• Commodore PET 2001, 30xx, 40xx and 80xx series with 16K or 32K memory

STELLAR AMBUSH

Earth is under attack by wave after wave of hostile aliens. Destroy the invading forces before they overwhelm your defenses.

The aliens do not remain safely in formation. They may break away, dive toward your position and attempt to bomb your ship.

Think of it as Space Invaders on Red Bull.

Available for:

• Commodore VIC-20 with 16K memory
• Commodore PET 2001, 30xx and 40xx series with 16K or 32K memory (40 columns)

HIVE DIVE

For players who found Stellar Ambush too easy, Hive Dive provides an even greater challenge.

Enemy ships rapidly zoom toward and away from the player, making them difficult to target. Boss ships may also dive from the formation and attempt to capture your spacecraft with a tractor beam. Be careful when trying to win your ship back from the boss. One wrong shot and it could be gone forever.

Stay mobile, aim carefully and do not allow your ship to be taken.

Challenging stages ARE included in the 32k version.

Available for:

• Commodore 64
  
• Commodore VIC-20 with 8k or 16K memory
  
• Commodore PET 2001, 30xx and 40xx series with 16K or 32K memory
  

The 16K version omits several features to fit within the available memory.

Space Walkers

Save your base from the space walkers, large mechanized machines intent on destroying your base. Use your radar to scan for walkers and drones that seek to attack you.

Commodore PET only.

Controls and Calibration

Most Commodore PET versions include a joystick-calibration routine. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the game for the joystick interface connected to your computer.
