Behold a magical adventure through time and space.   Ulrich the arch wizard has finally achieved his lifetime work of discovering all the locations of the fabled Dragon Amulet pieces. But he's so old now, who is going to help Ulrich fetch the pieces of the Dragon Amulet?   

Enter Tony Wilf - Ulrich’s athletic young apprentice - and Ulrich is about to cast a TRANSFORM spell on him.

Ulrich: "Apprentice Wilf, at last I have discovered all the pieces of the Dragon Amulet.  But I am so old, so I need you to retrieve them for me.  For this task I have granted you powers beyond your wildest dreams… behold your new wings!"

Wilf: "These... ? They’re mine? I don’t want wings. I thought you were going to make me a badass like Doc The Destroyer or something.  Besides, why would I need to fly to get an amulet?"

Ulrich: "Haven't you ever dreamed of flying Wilf?"

Wilf: "No"

Ulrich: "Where you are going is dangerous… No time to explain. I must send you to the first location: 10,000,000  years BC.   There are dinosaurs, and annoyingly positioned traps… Don’t worry about the dinosaurs - now you have wings you can simply fly over them."

Wilf: "But… I look like a damn Moth… I hate Moths."

Ulrich: "We’re running out of time, in a few days  the dragons will be fully awake and burning this place to the ground - if that happens we’ll  all die and you’ll be trapped in whatever time zone you are, and I guarantee you they don’t have WIFI."

Wilf Gulps, and with that, Ulrich casts his TIME WARP spell and Wilf vanishes into a puff of blue and yellow smoke.

You are Tony Wilf. And this is Legend of Wilf!

 A new C64 arcade adventure featuring gorgeous chunky pixelated colour graphics. Smoothly animated 50fps movement, tight controls, plus all the annoying, unfair enemy spawns and water sections you’d expect from a C64 game. 

Can you retrieve the mysterious amulet pieces for your master Ulrich?

Wow, that's a really great looking magazine, full of new retro games! I've gone ahead and bought a copy. Thanks so much for the review! 

Thanks for your support :) More to come. Keep on making games!

Congratulations! I loved it! One of those games that you try with little faith but once you start, you can't stop playing.

Cheers Dino!

Chapeau Hayes, watched your development streams when you started Wilf. Nice to see the end result. Playable and fun :)

Cheers Henni.. I didn't stream so much development this time, as I keep getting stuck too much to make it a good stream.  Glad you enjoyed the game and streams.

Well done Hayes. The game has lots of charme. Can I find Chili <3 somewhere in the caves?

Cheers Roman! Looking forward to seeing Timo's Castle boxed!

Really Nice game, I'm enjoying it. I'm not that good but it's good fun.

Thank you! A little bit of practice will see you fly through

Very nice, but sometimes quite difficult game. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:35:25. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂

Thanks so much Radio. To everyone finding the game tough, I'm working on version 1.1 which will add a casual play mode. In casual you won't have to restart the game. Hope it helps open the game a bit more. Thanks for the review!

This is a really cool remake. I just watched a video of Kokotoni WIlf and it's really cool to see how you upgraded it. Great work Hayesmaker64!! This makes me want to move on with one of my goofy projects I keep kicking around.

Awesome stuff, this is my 2nd game since starting to learn 6502 ASM - stick with it!

Congrats on the release!

Congrats on a job well done!  A lot of people will love this.

My name is not Wilf. Am I still allowed to play this game?

I played the remake and really enjoyed it, although it is mighty tough to play. Never mind the bad comments about remaking a really bad old game. I actually did that before in 2011, making it more better and fun :) Well done.

Nice game, really cool.

Well done Hayes, cool remake! well done to the others who contributed to the game components as well!

Not everyone can handle the ultimate power of Legend of Wilf 

it is safe for kids, and I hope they enjoy.

Thanks for playing!

Do I sense an unofficial spin-off "Kokotoni Milf" coming up? Joking aside, thanks for the game and looking forward to more gaming fun from hayesmaker64!

Interesting work 😎

 I understand that you are based on KOKOTONI WILF from 1984.
