As the editorial team learned from community member ‘MR2’, who maintains excellent communications in C64 and the old scene, the well-known platform game Sonic the Hedgehog has been successfully ported to Commodore 64. It will be released as a free download at Christmas.
In order to be able to play the previous main title from Sega on your home computer system, which was released in August 1982, you first need to expand the memory with 256 KB of RAM. The Commodore 64 commonly known as the “bread box” usually contains only 64KB of RAM.
The memory is expanded using the so-called random access memory (RAM) expansion module, which is available in a capacity of 128 to 512 KB. the C64-Wiki Provides more information about this.
Equipped accordingly, the C64 port works on the following systems and emulators:
- Commodore 64 with expanded memory (+256 KB)
- Commodore 128 with memory expansion (+256KB)
- VICE (“Versatile Commodore”)
- Turbo chameleon
- 1541U I/II/II +
- C64
- U64
The C64 port author provides more information in the article in the forum 64.
