The music compo at X was nothing but amazing. One of my favourites:
Also really liked ”Ballad for Jeff” by Shogoon.

That Miami Vice track is among my favorite pieces of music EVER SID or otherwise. It’s gorgeous!

I love Matt Gray’s remakes of all these songs, including Miami Vice, The Way Of The Exploding Fist and International Karate. The band Fastloaders has recently released heavy guitar based remakes with their C-64 Rocks album. All these remakes demonstrate the greatness and potential of the originals.

And if you want to analyse how many of these songs are made (or want to play them on a Sidstation and compatibles) here’s a demo of some new tools: Browser-based ASID player for Sidstation and others

Triad has had some nice little weird releases recently!

Agreed! I’ve noticed a few, and they’re definitely a bit different.
This one’s kind of interesting (not Triad, but interesting music).

One of the best games of all time! Four players, and excellent with friends after a few drinks.

Just made me laugh because it must be one of the earliest games and had just rudimentary graphics.
Oh. Got one more: Burger Time!!

There are some good newer games too:
Portal (yes as in based on the Valve one)
Canabalt
L’abbaye des morts
All free to download. I’m not much of a gamer these days, but enjoyed those, in fact past 6-7 years the only games I played were on C64, obviously there are tons more great new and old games.

I have L’abbaye for genesis (rom) and it’s pretty good from a puzzle/platformer perspective. Someone did a donkey kong jr port for c64 as well as some others.

Yes, saw that new port of DK Jr.
There’s also a modern version of Ghosts n Goblins from a few years back.
Super Mario Bros. is another one from the last few years.
The original Mario Bros. game on the C64 is quite good too, but it doesn’t have the little floor distortion when you hit it like the Arcade and NES versions.
The Castlevania port is as good as any for the original game.
