Butterfly64 by uhellstr is a C64 basic demo converted to PICO-8.

We very much like the release notes, so here they are:

Found out about PICO-8 just the other day. Did allot of assembly programming on the C64 in the old good days. Thought I would give this “Fantasy console” a try. Since i never written a line in LUA before I was thrilled over how easy it is to understand the basic idea about programming for this machine. Yesterday I spent abou 5 hours (1 hour on read thru the forums and the manual) and then the rest of the time to write a simple demo for PICO-8. It’s a a convertion of a BASIC demo i wrote in 2010 for the C64.

In Rogue, the player assumes the role of an adventurer. The game starts at the uppermost level of an unmapped dungeon with a myriad of monsters and treasures. The goal is to descend to the bottom level, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, and then ascend to the surface. Until the Amulet is retrieved, the player cannot return to earlier levels. Monsters in the levels become progressively more difficult to defeat.
