Gates of the Ancient

3D space action game for Commodore 64, 2021

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you ever believed that fast 3D space action on the C64 was a case of
flickering wireframe - well you are in for a treat.

“Gates of the ANCIENT” offers full polygon 3D exploration, battle and looting
 on your trusty old C64.

Explore a series of systems and galaxies, stringed together with wormhole
technology.  Upgrade your ship with various devices and use ancient
artifacts.  Fight pirates, aliens and ancient robots to keep alive in a
hostile universe – or become a pirate yourself and take it from the rich.

Every game is different, but a codeword system allows you to bring you worldly
possessions into your next incarnation. So you can build up your ship to
reach the final goal over many sessions.
