** STEEL RANGER STORY **
YEAR 2218.
As humanity is forced to expand beyond Earth, they come into contact with a hostile machine intelligence born from their own creations. By initially using military shipments thought to be lost, it has mined other planets for resources and built a vast offensive fleet. Now mankind is stranded in a desperate war, with safety nowhere to be found.
United Military patrol ship "Scourge" led by commander Archer Hess picks up an unusual transmission sent from a barren planet - Ones & Zeroes forming an Omega symbol. Though possibly a trap, the ship is cleared to investigate. Its crew is equipped with self-charging "Ranger" armour suits, designed for combat against overwhelming enemies in any environment.

Buy Now, Pay with Card, does not seem to be working?
Did you try another browser/device?
Yes, I tried on my Android, and still does not work.
Try it. (You will have the option of backing out, so you don't
have to actually buy it.)
Just verify you can get to the confirm payment screen.
I don't use credit cards, sorry. I hope you will find a solution. The game is great and deserves to be bought and played.
This is the first game of Lasse Öörni that i played through and it is so good that i had to get all other games that he made! Even the game called Hessian which i own cause i have the c64 mini and maxi.
This game has everything you want from a metroid-like but in addition it is unique enough to not just be a clone!
The gameplay, sound effects, music, artwork, story and overall presentation is so well put together!
I enjoyed it the whole time and it has great replay value as it has different endings! I dont want to spoil you but trust me if i say that you will have some great moments. The story is so well made. It amazes me that all this is possible on our beloved c64.
And the music... OH MY GOD! THE MUSIC! I still have a save at the security tower to listen to that music. Goosebumps, shivers, excitement. So much power! Breathtaking, energizing POWER! From a 3-voice chip that came out in the early 80's! It blows my mind! I LOVE it!
Another masterpiece that you should not miss!
Buy it!
You will not regret it!
Is anyone else having trouble getting this to run on NTSC? I'm using a Mister FPGA and the game works fine in PAL mode, but when I load it in NTSC, it gets stuck on the splash/loading screen every time. This only matters when I have it hooked up to a CRT TV instead of my flatscreen because they can't take a PAL/50Hz signal.
Just picked this up. This should be great fun on my c64 mini.
I loved this game so much that a video was born on its own ...
There are no words to describe this work for our beloved 8bit, a game that touches perfection ... Exceptional level design, action-shooter-platform all surrounded by a pleasant plot, graphics and first-rate sound, a title that owns practically everything. I try, but I don't find negative sides in this video game, maybe a little wasteful in the last stages, but nothing really complicated. Thanks for making it and remember "shoot or die!"
Best Sci-fi game on C64 and applause to Lasse Oorni for the awesome music and graphics on the game.
This was hands down my favorite game of 2018
Awesome game!
All of your games look so perfect! I am, very soon, going to have to get them all!
I absolutely love the music in this game. Is it possible to purchase the soundtrack as MP3/Ogg?
Hi, the music is only available on CD at the moment:- http://binaryzone.org/retrostore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=509
This game is awesome. I have a hard time putting it down. And it's huge! And on only one disk? I love it. I can only recommend to support the developers. Buy this. 5 stars from me.
It says the download comes with the .PRG file, but I only got the D64 version.
Works great on my C64 maxi, thanks! Greetings from Slovakia
Just purchased a C64 Maxi and it's a pleasure to play this brillant game a second time - now in the way it deserves!
Is it compatible with C64 Mini???
Yes, it is 100% compatible with the C64 Mini
Thanx so much :-)
does not work on sd2iec, tested on 2 types of sd2iec and 3 different commodore 64, I ask for support thanks.
Hi, the game works perfectly on my sd2iec - what issue are you having? If it resets when loading from the sd2iec menu, simply type LOAD"*",8,1 (return) and the game should load and run.
A massive achievement! Tense gameplay with fantastic controls, graphics, music and great performance. Upgradeable equipment, different special abilities, interesting story. A great game indeed, very playable and totally worth the money.
Simply an amazing game. Just as playable as any new game released today. Multidirectional scrolling and shooting, saves, great soundtrack, graphics and story. Simply breathtaking.
You guys are amazing! Everything has come together in this game just perfectly. It takes the best elements of games like Turrican and Metroid, adds a fantastic soundtrack to the mix and puts it all together into this masterpiece. Instant classic!
Great game with nice audio. Worked well on my sd2iec. Thanks!
Wow! looks amazing! i loved the music!
