System 3 turns 43: Remembering Vendetta on the C64

This week, some thoughts on System 3’s Vendetta, as the company celebrates its 43rd anniversary. While contemporaries folded or ended up swallowed by bigger publishers, System 3 has managed to remain independent.

That’s quite an achievement.

I also look at the new set of newly updated and DRM-free titles on GOG.com.

PLUS: a look at some upcoming hardware and game releases.
