I used to play a ZX spectrum game, that was a man walking on a yellow grid and they would walk away from me. Add the other end of the grid where the man was walking to. There are numbered doors. When you died a wizard brought you back. All he was was a drawing of a round face, with spiky hair all over his head. Does anyone know the name of this game?

Haha, when i first saw avenger advertised, I presumed it was based on the hillman avenger :)

In Jetpac, 3D death chase and manic miner, you've got 3 of the all time speccie top 10

Star Control 2! That game was so awesome!

I cant remember anyone buying a C64 game😂

these videos should really always be displaying what it is and not just when it begins.

Beautiful! Thank you! You are a connoisseur, sir!

Muy buena selección!! Pero mi favorito de esta selección es Atic Atac!!

Маник минер !! Топ игра zx spectrum

There once was a ZX spectrum game that had a yellow grid flooring with three number doors at the end of the room. When you died once, a wizard would come and resurrect you. He would tell you what to do from then on. The goal was to get through door 100. Does anyone know the name of this game? It is not wizards warrior or wizards layer.

The C64's VIC-II graphics chip really made a difference. The scrolling, in most instances, was lovely and smooth. The ZX Spectrum, on the other hand, had to have scrolling routines in the coding. So, a lot of the C64 games have a nice professional sheen, whereas the Speccy games all look home-coded. And that's even before you start discussions about the colour and sound.

Stonkers always crashed after you'd spent about an hour building your troops up😢

Iron Lord was a very nice game. But only the first part with the beautiful drawn map. Very good graphics and music, great atmosphere. But after that part it seems like the developers had used some unfinished completely different games which didn't fit to the rest. But thanks to the Arm Wrestling I only once got that far.

The irony is that most games from the 80's on the Amiga were either bad ports or ports from the Atari ST version, not many actually took advantage of the Amiga hardware like we started to see in the early 90's and even with that, the Amiga is still ahead of the PC, that started to change in the early 90's as the PC moved forward but the Amiga didn't and when the A1200 was released, it was an upgrade but nowhere near enough, it should have been better than the SNES in every way and probably in-between the SNES and PS1 in capabilities, Commodore really dropped the ball in not moving forward enough, especially when they had such an advantage with the A1000 in 85.

Proof visuals don't always make for a better game. Can't say that (aside from the explore/ RPG types) that these late 80's are more intriguing than many earlier games.

Giana Sisters and Maniac Mansion, my two favourite C64 games at that time and they aged incredibly well!

Omg! Pitstop 2! Wow….yeah, I remember those tracks

tud cpc ma kr dobre edin grafike se je ne morem navadit

Ah! Que tiempos! Yo tenía un ZX Spectrum en aquella época. La mayoría de juegos del Amstrad CPC eran conversiones 1:1 del Spectrum que no aprovechaban al 100% sus capacidades.

👍👍

Great video ! Thanks

Wow and now harrier attack !!!!!

Jet pack one of the best

How could i forget! fighter pilot !

Почти все эти игры играли на zx spectrum!!!Приятно вспомнить!

1986 was indeed a brilliant year for the CPC.

some are clearly spectrum ports that brought the colour issues with them

"Extreme" is probably the only game that looks better and sounds okay on the Specy. Guessing these are all Specy 128k games because of the sound. But the C64 kills it for a computer unchanged since 1982. IMO a 7 Goals to 1 result. I had a 48k Specy.

Si vous êtes toujours là en 2040, mettez un pouce.

The problem is the games are emulated and without interpolation, as in the CRT TV. It's better on a CRT or in a secam system TV. But for History, it's no price. 1987 is the beginning of lower production of games. two years later, 90% of those games will be bad, because they will attempt to make adaptations of arcade games made by machines far superior (CPS1 from Capcom or Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and eventhe powerful 2D Capcom CPS2!). The programmers and graphists are not to blame, but the producer or the editor, surely, because they have not given money to creativity, and because C64 is antique. The lack of 32 colours on C64 was a problem which was not one in my... Green small screen: the games were superb on it, because of that! And this period with one guy making alone a game distributed by an editor has ended. Exit Karateka or Beach Head!

crazy how you have some great games that still quite hold up today next to tired manic miner clones and questionable arcade ports

человек сделавший это видео никогда не держал в руках спектрум? картинка растянута, спектрум как бы не 16:9 картинку имеет.

26 von 50 kann sich nicht beschweren. Kino war komplizierter.

This is what happens when you try to port 16-bit era games to 8-bit platform. The results were often spectacular...

Hmm quite sure that Rolling Ronny is from 1990 or '91

The CPC version has so many flickering sprites...urgh.

Exploding Fist is the Grand daddy of all pc karate head 2 heads

Holly fuck! There were c64 new zealand story??

I think this 1986 Best Of needed more games like Fist II, Infiltrator, Lords of Conquest, Murder On The Mississippi, Parallax, and Tau Ceti.

1985 - What about Gribbly's Day Out, Rescue on Fractalus!, Hacker, Karateka, Law of the West, Little Computer People, Magic Madness, The Eidolon, Mr. Do!, and Ballblazer?

Nice CGA games!

Quazatron? 🤔

Maybe I am mistaken, but it almost seems like this is comparing a PAL c64 to NTSC Atari? The C64 games seem to be running just a bit slower than I am used to (as PAL ran slower) but the Atari adaptations seem more NTSC speed. I'm not sure if there was a speed difference between NTSC and PAL Atari 8-bits, but it's just how it seems to me.

Not a fair Vs do. C64 v 128k spectrum

Pogo does not look like a speccy game to me. It's using hardware sprites, which the spectrum doesn't have.

Some gems and some really bad an generic ones in here. Man, I miss the time... 🙂

Qualcuno ricorda un gioco chiamato "Bimbo e Gibba"?

Pretty embarassing Lotus and Super Off-Road ports on CPC There's also Prince of Persia and Rainbow Islands on CPC this year
