Tynesoft Commodore 16 Classics (Physical Release)

This is a homebrew game collection, run on Gameboy Color.
Original version: Tynesoft Computer 1984-1987. Rewritten by László Rajcsányi.
Distributor: insideGadgets.com. Created with GB-Studio 2.0.0 beta5!

A long time ago, when I was a kid, I played a lot with Commodore 16 games of an English company called Tynesoft. Unfortunately, they have since fallen into disrepair, but their games remain for us. As the world changed, so did gaming machines, and as a generation grew up, it became possible to rewrite these games to other consoles. I would like to introduce these awesome games to the people who like the Nintendo Gameboy Color. Receive with great love, and have fun!

LUNAR DOCKING

The Space Shuttle "Columbia" leaves base loaded with three uranium fuel packs to refuel the rocket "Argon" suspended in high orbit. The shuttle is unable to reach a high altitude to dock up with "Argon" so an Astronaut has to carry each of the three packs left by the shuttle from low earth orbit through space to the waiting rocket. Space travel can be very hazardous so watch out for those asteroids, satellites as your jet pack propels you through space on the way to refuelling your rocket. After docking all 3 uranium packages on board "Argon", another mission awaits you.
