C64-shorts #15: Star Wars 1984 vs. 1988 Death Star in 50 sec.
zhlédnutí 23Před 12 dny
Finnish Retro Guy's Commodore 64 Zone After some time, I played both 1984 Star Wars from Atarisoft and 1988 Star Wars from Domark. My opinion, overall better one of the two is the classic 1984 game, but on the other hand, the 1988 game does look and sound beautiful. What do you think? My videos include cheat POKEs for the games.

This is in fact a combination of three different games which are presenting three different classic game genres: a shoot'em up, a platform jumper and a wall breaking game (=break out clone).

DRJ Nice looking C64-action game teaching me Dutch language!
zhlédnutí 141Před měsícem
DRJ (Doctor Junior is it?), Radarsoft, 1985, Commodore 64 version Many games from Radarsoft were translated in other languages. For some reason, the only version of this game I have ever seen comes with the original Dutch language. This made it quite challenging for me to learn it at first, but eventually this became my favorite Radarsoft game. Those who are not familiar with DRJ at all may be ...

Zone Ranger action filled space shooter game for C64 WITH POKES!
zhlédnutí 140Před měsícem
Zone Ranger, Activision/Firebird, 1984, Commodore 64 version One of my favorite early space shooter games. There is a lot of action in this game, hopefully I did catch some of that on this video. Even better if this video encourages someone out there to try this game! If you liked Zone Ranger, Space Pilot 2 is somewhat similar game. My video can be found here: czcams.com/video/vRXurX5j9sI/video...
Vikings (C64 game) Islands 1 and 2 guide and POKES!
zhlédnutí 468Před měsícem
The Vikings, Kele Line, 1985, Commodore 64 version Here is a great game often compared to Rambo, based on the first action filled level. Due to the tough difficulty and very limited number of lives, most players probably never saw the island number two, which is actually pure Gauntlet, and well worth the long time exploring! But, to get there, you either need to be a perfect player, or cheat......

Flyer Fox, Tymac/Game Gems, 1984, Commodore 64 version An arcade shooter which looks like a flight simulator. This was also one of those few talking games in early 1980s.

Octapolis Nice Colorful C64-game LAST LEVELS & POKES!
zhlédnutí 215Před 3 měsíci
Octapolis, English Software, 1987,Commodore 64 version Making this video made me finally complete this tough, but very beautiful, colorful game. Off course the actual game is much longer, this video shows some of the most beautiful scenes of this game. If you like colorful space shooters with nice graphics and music, R-Type is one of those. Piece of art. Here is my video: czcams.com/video/ob7bE...
Pretty good graphics.
I've troubles at beginning a new game, commands don't respond neither in joystick port 1 nor port 2. Can someone help me please?
Ok, I've got it eventually. F5 to select and F7 to start a new game 🤣
The music of Tim Follin. Unmistakable style one of my favorite authors for c64!! Which musician do you like for C64?
Tough choice. Both are good.
Good game,I preferred world games but great times
Much better technically than the first part.
Too tough! I only know I played game 2 more than I have the rest, though I certainly recognise some others. At least they seem like games I would have enjoyed, because of atmosphere. The Egyptian themed one seems interesting, I know I tried it on emulator, never had it on original though.
@5:53, 6:33 Impossible Mission
The scream used in Impossible Mission can also be heard later in the game, during the final battle.
Unplayable crap. Could be great if properly balanced and designed. And after removing this GIANT BS LETTERS!!!
Unplayable, unfinished, bad "game" with horrific music.
Yes the music is something some players probably just need to turn it off. I am one of those who actually enjoy the game music, at least to the point where the high notes keep coming. From there onwards I can fully understand why so many players are "allergic" to that one. Something with lower notes would also probably fit the game's "dark" atmosphere somewhat better.
@@finnishretroguy9952 Yes. The game always was an unfulfilled promise for me. It is so cliche and unpolished, designed to look good on screenshots only. Especially cheap deaths on elevators are annoying. Game not tested, made by amateurs.
Vertical shooter part feels a bit generic. The platform part is much better
Love the game concept!
Played the first one long time ago. Was nice to destroy those buildings!
This brings back memories!
Will try this one soon!
Played this a lot with my brother in the 80s! Nice!
Must check this one again! Lovely tunes by Mr. Beben!
Addictive!
Great game!
when the guy gets hit it sounds like he's taking a really bad deuce
Mad egg!!!!😁
Radarsoft had some very nice titles, but often with very awful music renditions. Shame really, as some games would be a lot better with an original soundtrack behind it.
Unfortunately music in game 2 is corrupt.
Nice vid! Sorry but did you play the sound with a 8580 chip? It was meant for 6581.
Yes, seems I did.
Just made the comparison. As you suspected, 6581-chip sounds right for game 2. Now that the video is already published, seems the crazy 8580-chip version of the music will be the selection on this video. I feel both sad and on the other hand amused by this... Thanks for the feedback though, this is a good lesson learned for my videos in future.
I met him at a local C64 enthusiasts meeting where he talked a little bit about his game developing experience in those days. Mostly about how his games would sell for about two weeks and then they would be pirated.
Very cool. There was also a 'bad ending' I got once back in the day, but I cant remember exactly how i did it, I think I cut the guy free and got the chopper, but just flew to the border instead of rescuing the guys in the camp first. I have to replay it again.
This sounds interesting! I need to try this also.
@@finnishretroguy9952 Just tried it, and my mistake. Doing what I said just triggers what you got in this video, endless waves of bad guys for breaking sequence. The real way to get the bad ending is to not free the POW tied up and just go directly to the helicopter.
DRJ is John Vanderaart, he made some really cool C64 games (i loved 'Hopeless') and had a very humorous way of writing articles for Dutch C64 magazine 'Dossier Commodore'. One of my heroes in the C64 age. @faqmanvanderaart
Seemed similar to grotten van oberon but that was C. Kramer.
Un ugly commando made with seuck
SEUCK was not even a thing when this one was released. A great game.
cheat
Pretty godd graphics for 1986. Yeah, the gauntlet feel is definitely there.
Hahaha - THX for grab in my Mind. So Funny 🤣🤣🤣
Pretty dynamic game, a lot of stuff going on on the screen. Nice graphics also.
Gauntlet much more expanded. I never played this game and i love c64 (still have one). AVGN will say that - color palette still looks like dihareaa :P
Hmmm, looks like a Commando in a maze
Oh yes, you are right! There is clearly some "Commando" here as well. Earlier I have seen the Rambo and Gauntlet sides of this.
Make love not war
Thanks for the video. Had forgotten about this game. I got to the maze but never finished that.
Simple 2D games are what the C64 excelled it! Managed to get to level 13 or 14 back in the day. Not sure what happens beyond that?
I would say its pretty accurate to original, except for the boss ship at the end, which is completely different.
I remember eagle empire but never seen this before
Eagle Empire was better arcade port ;)
I loved Eagle Empire, I played it a lot as a kid. Just hours and hours.
This looks like a mostly fun game, but the knife fight seems like it could go on forever, even without the fact that it goes on for NINE “INNINGS”!
When many super mario SHIT fanatic assholes watch this game they will say that is a Mario clone the fanatic assholes said the same about The Great Giana Sisters
What do they actually say? Mitä ne sanoo? En ole ikinä ymmärtänyt muuta kuin "Watch out!" =)
I really lick that music a lot.
Flyer Fox is one of those.
Correct. There is also a separate long video for Flyer Fox which I made just recently. This great game well deserves such video: czcams.com/video/lTi2YWW8hSQ/video.html
I remember this game. Tapanimäki initially developed it for a programming competition, taking care of all aspects except the music. Interesting game, with nice colorful graphics and music with good appeal.
+1 for Hannes Sommer!
What do you mean by POKES ? This is a basic program with DATA statements in Hex within a poke loop? Seriously?
Yes, seriously. In this case the POKE on the video allows you to carry several packages instead of just one (which makes the game very tough).
Hey dont shoot me!
Back when I played this it was known as Pitfall 3. I knew it really wasn't.
