Sabre Wulf Remastered is finished on the C64

It took four years. Genesis Project released the finished version of Sabre Wulf Remastered on 25 October 2026. The first preview (V0.1) came out in October 2022, and V0.5 followed in December 2025. The original is Sabre Wulf, released by Ultimate Play The Game for the ZX Spectrum in 1984. Today the rights belong to Rare. The official site gives the original game's credits but says nothing about a licence.

Raistlin rewrote the code from scratch. The graphics are JonEgg's, the music is by psych858o and Mermaid. The game has 256 jungle screens. You collect the four pieces of the amulet and take them to the Guardian (the keeper of the gate). The new version adds a map that fills in as you explore, a high score table saved to disk, and new intro and ending sequences.

The game is free. You can download it from gp-64.com/swr, itch.io and CSDb. It comes as a 192 KB D64 image and wants a PAL C64 with a 1541 or a fully compatible disk drive. According to the developer, SD2IEC isn't supported yet, so keep that in mind. On CSDb it scores 9.9 from 33 votes. User comments praise the presentation and how faithful it stays to the original. With most old games sold under the remaster label, only the box gets a new coat of paint. Here the code, the sound and the art were all made from scratch, and the game still costs nothing.
