The 8-bit home page town. Get a plot, build a page, and visit it from a Commodore 64 or from any browser.

What is T8wn?

Remember when anyone could have a home page? T8wn brings that back, for 8-bit computers. Every resident gets a plot: a small home page written in 8TML, a markup language simple enough to type on a C64.

Plots are served over plain HTTP, so a Commodore 64 with a modem can visit them with the VVV browser. Modern browsers get the same pages as HTML, so your phone can drop by too.

  • Your own address: t8wn.com/@yourname
  • Pages in 8TML: headings, links, colors, forms
  • Readable on a C64 and in any browser
  • One T8wn account for every JMP $EA31 game and tool

Town status

T8WN.COM ........ online
8TML 1 spec ..... draft
VVV browser ..... prototype
Accounts ........ coming soon
Plots ........... coming soon

The neighbourhood

  • VVV: the C64 web browser for 8TML pages
  • V8id: an online world for 8-bit computers, built by its players
  • V8rms: Worms-style artillery for the C64
  • R8ver Defense: keep your mining rover alive
  • Bl8ck: a journey through the history of the C64

All made by JMP $EA31, a one-person C64 studio. All of them are works in progress.
