I didn't even know he did some C64 games. I thought Cleve Bakemore was a shitty casual iPhone programmer.

You heretics, all of you.

Ahoy! managed a number of colorful and experienced personalities
throughout its five years of publication. Publisher David Schnieder
(sp?) was responsible for the publication of the magazine, and others
such as David Allikas (Editor-in-Chief) helped with magazine layout and
development. Part time staff members like Morton Kevelson (Consulting
Editor) and Dale Ruport (Consulting Editor) provided articles which
focused on technical aspects of Commodore computing. Other freelance
writers and programmers whose services endowed the pages of Ahoy!
included Bob Blackmer,Cleveland M. Blakemore, Buck Childress, Arnie
Katz, Gordon F. Wheat,Tony Brantner,Orson Scott Card, amoung others.

Mentioned on the same line as OSC is beyond achievement for the most of us.
Later on, Cleve was even the senior editor.

Cleveland M. Blakemore's three part series on "Programming
your Own Text Adventures" began with the June 1988 issue, continued with
the July 1988 issue, but never reached a third installment: Mr.
Blakemore left the magazine before he could finish his work.

Prophetic ?

Remove extra "0s" and replace with ","'s. In the DATA statements near the beginning of the program, there is a way to replace "0"s with "," and still have the READ statement accept them as "0"s. Cleve Blakemore used this technique all the time in his programming.

Master coder at work. This way, the program uses less memory.

Mandatory for Cleve patriots (or haters that do not believe he did anything of interest), this are the actual games: http://members.shaw.ca/cue64/ahoycleve.html

Snippet because of awesome:

I use C64 Forever for all my C64 needs. It's really well done and has a lot of tools. It's like $15 but worth it.

If you are specifically looking to take C64 files stored on a jumpdrive and copy them to a .D64 type virtual disk, I believe I have used DirMaster in the past. Works pretty well and is free.
