Whetticus has put a two-player tetherball game on the PICO-8, and it comes with a birthday message for Alex. (Heyhey, Happy birthday! :-))
The game supports two playable characters and lets you play solo against a CPU or with a friend. To win, you need to land a critical hit by striking the ball at the apex of its swing, or you can also combo the ball three times without repeating an attack. Controls are WASD plus G for jump and H for attack for player one, and arrow keys plus K for jump and L for attack for player two.

Marco Miner 64 (2026) by Marco Cerutti for Commodore 64.
Dig for gold and diamonds, but every swing costs you. Watch out for rolling rocks, and keep an eye on the border: green means you’ve hit the target, red means keep digging. Time limits rise as you level up. Simple, tense, and rewarding.

Hot Shot Pool (2026) by J5 for Commodore 64.
The aim line is the shot, not a guess. This pool sim traces the cue ball’s real path, cushion bounces and all, on hardware with only eight sprites. If the line says it drops, it drops. Two rule sets, four play modes, CPU that banks like it means it.
