About
The Castles of Doctor Creep is a 1984 Brøderbund Software game for the Commodore 64. This project provides source to build an EasyFlash cartridge version of The Castles of Doctor Creep for the C64, adding save-game support (including import/export) on the EasyFlash cartridge. It requires cc65, VICE's cartconv and c1541 tools, Python, and a C compiler to build, and the author notes it hasn't been thoroughly tested, especially the EasyFlash save functionality.
How it differs from the original
Beyond adding EasyFlash save/load and save import-export, the build also incorporates a separately created 'remastered' disk version (Castles of Dr Creep 3 ReM V2) re-engineered by DrHonz, alongside the original 1984 disk.
Getting started
Building requires supplying your own original and remastered C64 disk images (renamed to specific filenames) in a disks/ folder, then running `make`; no copies of the original or remastered game are included in the repository itself, and the resulting .crt cartridge image must be run in a C64 emulator or on real EasyFlash hardware.
Known limitations
- compatibility: Saving files on EasyFlash has not been tested thoroughly.
Additional notes
- License
- The build tooling is released under Apache 2.0 by its author, but the original 1984 game and the fan-made remastered disk are separate copyrighted works not included in the repo.
