Vendetta – System 3’s Overlooked C64 Isometric Action Classic

️ Vendetta (1990) – Commodore 64 Action-Adventure | Isometric Crime Thriller Classic Released in 1990 by System 3 and developed by Stanley Schembri, Vendetta is an ambitious hybrid action-adventure for the Commodore 64, blending exploration, combat, and vehicle sequences into one gritty experience. In the game, you play as an ex-soldier whose brother and niece have been kidnapped by a terrorist/mafia organisation. Your mission is to track them down and rescue them across seven dangerous levels. Gameplay combines isometric “Last Ninja–style” exploration — featuring rooms, items, weapons, and light puzzle elements — with fast-paced driving and shoot-’em-up sections including car chases, helicopter attacks, and police roadblocks. The game features detailed backgrounds and a moody introduction sequence, with music composed by Matt Gray. While in-game animation and controls can feel clunky at times, the atmosphere and ambition remain strong.
