Ziggurat Interactive Announces Commodore 64 Game Collection 'Cosmi: Forbidden Forests' Coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch

10 legendary games from the C64™ era preserved for modern audiences, including archival material

Denver, Colorado (March 27, 2025) - Modern retro publisher Ziggurat Interactive is delighted to announce Cosmi: Forbidden Forests, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on May 27, 2025. This legendary collection features 10 hand-chosen classics from the Commodore 64 era of the 1980s, as well as a phenomenal trove of bonus materials for game preservation fans and curious players alike.

Featuring 10 blasts from the past, first published by Cosmi more than 30 years ago, Cosmi: Forbidden Forests has something for everyone including pick-up-and-play shooters and platformers to adventure and simulation games with surprising depth. Go on a hunt for fabled treasure in Caverns of Khafka (1983), bust out of your fish tank in Chomp! (1989), and escape from a toxic post-apocalyptic Chicago in 2027 in Delta Man (1986).

Headlining the collection is a remastered version of Forbidden Forest, which not only includes all-new graphics and audio, but also offers an optional bardcore visual toggle allowing you to get medieval with it. Armed with a bow and a limited quantity of arrows, take down giant spiders, freaky frogs, dragons, snakes, and even the Demogorgon, either in the original style envisioned by master game designer Paul Norman, or in the new art style that looks straight out of a 14th century tapestry.

Additionally, Cosmi: Forbidden Forests comes with remade box art, archival material and original, digital comics from the minds of Ideas&Inks, the team spearheaded by Marvel and DC Comics veterans Ant Williams and Andy Lanning. Together with a phenomenally talented group of writers, letterers, and artists (full list of credits here), the worlds of Forbidden Forest and Caverns of Khafka come to life in two terrifying tales collected together as Digital Dreams and 8-Bit Nightmares.
