A downloadable game

Trolley Follies is a game for the Commodore 64 (or emulator such as VICE) for one or two players. 

The object is to drive a trolley around picking up passengers and delivering them to their destinations. 

The track layouts get increasingly convoluted and confusing as the levels progress. 

Passengers are impatient and your score will be determined by how happy they are when you drop them off, their happiness is determined by how long they had to wait.

Passengers left waiting at platforms for too long will leave and that will actually hurt your score.  

There is a time limit for each level as well as a minimum required score you must achieve before the exit to the next level is opened.  If there is time remaining you may continue to pick up and drop off passengers after the exit is open to increase your score.    

Your highest score for the level will be recorded in a high scores file and the next time you play that level you will need to exceed your previous best to progress.  Although this feature may be disabled and you can choose to reset the high scores file from the main menu.

Also included is a level editor so that you can create new levels.


Buy it on floppy.  Play it on your C64!

Install instructions

For use on a PC (windows, mac, linux, whatever) or on Mobile devices:

Download and install your Commodore 64 emulator of choice.  VICE is a good one but there are others.

Open the emulator and auto-load the "trolley follies.d64" disk image.


For use on a Commodore 64 (or 128 in 64 mode)

Write to floppy disk or use PI1541 emulator or use SD2IEC or any other modern solution.

In testing we noticed issues using the high scores file if using the .d64 disk image on an SD2IEC.  However using DirMaster you can move the files out of the .d64 and into a folder on your SD card and the SD2IEC will work fine.
