Chopper Commander - Zeppelin Games 1988 C64 - Choppah the Aliens
มุมมอง 37วันที่ผ่านมา
First play of Chopper Commander, which for a 1988 budget game is actually pretty decent.
Impossamole - Gremlin Graphics 1990 C64 - Super Monty!
มุมมอง 12514 วันที่ผ่านมา
First play of Impossamole, a 1990 Monty The Mole game. It's pretty good! Zzap only gave it a very sensual 69%, but as a budget re-release (which I am playing) I think it would have been great value for money. Also interesting that it's an early Core Design game, before Chuck Rock and Tomb Raider

Rainbow Islands - Bubble Bobble 2 1989 Ocean C64 - a 92% rated gem
มุมมอง 87หลายเดือนก่อน
A quick play of Rainbow Islands, the sequel to Bubble Bobble which was ported to the C64 in 1989 by Graftgold and released by Ocean. It scored a fantastic 92% in Zzap on it's initial full price release (£9.99) and an even higher 96% when it was rereleased on the Hit Squad label for £3.99 a few years later. #commodore64 #c64 #retrogaming #c64mini #c64games #arcade

    @8-BitRach 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I only completed this game once as a kid, it was mad hard. It's weird because although that's not one of my favourite games for some reason it brings back massive memories. I remember writing a story in school set in the 'Klondikes' because I'd seen the level on this called Klondikes. I must have written some shite because the teacher asked me if i knew what the Klondikes were I said no, so she asked why I'd written a whole story based on it. Proper caught out!

    • @8-BitRach
      @8-BitRach 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Come to think of it, I wrote a story based in Cigam in Khatmandu because of Dizzy. Copying little shite I was 😂 *Nevermind I see now that you can!* Also, can't you choose what level to start on in this version? I could have sworn you could on the Amstrad. I might be mistaken there.

    • @retrotap
      @retrotap 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Monty Mole retros back - AS SUPER MONTY 😹🤘🕹️! I played this game for the first time on my Amiga 500 as a kid back in the early 1990's. The game was so very difficult, there was only a energy bar. So no lives - AND NO CONTINUES 😹!! So i finished the whole game with the cheat mode 😹🤘🕹️. I also bought this game for my Commodore 64 as one of the budget priced GBH game tapes back in the early 2010's. The game was still difficult 😹, but the soundtrack 🎵🎶 is still pawsome 🐾 😺👍🕹️. And you, Richard, did your best in this gameplay video 😺👍🕹️. A big retrospective like 👍🕹️ from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.

    Absolute classic this. Great for sibling co-op leading to inevitable tantrums and meltdowns when the other player messed up 🤣 Todd mentioned the mysterious second tape in the box. No idea what it is other than seemingly a cheeky second homemade copy of the game, perhaps we made to lend to a friend. Nice vid, definitely up near the top of the C64 games for me 🙂

      Thanks yeah I tried the tape but no joy 😂 I bet this is great 2 player, almost worth those tantrums 🤣

    Wow this looks brilliant on the C64 Richard. I used to love this on the Speccy, that was a great version aswell but if ciurse not as polished as this. Great vid mate👍

    Wouldn't of expected this to be Bubble Bobble 2, from bubbles to rainbows. Can definitely still see the similar fun formula in the mix though. Wonder what the vehicle themed boss on the 2nd island would of been? Well played and nice video Richard!🕹🌈 🏝🍀

    Love this game! Looks (and sounds) really nice on the c64. For a minute I really thought you were going to cheese the spider boss by sitting in the corner! Have a fab weekend.

      Thanks Ed it is a gem 💎 of a game this one. I was pleased to find a way past the Spider, but it'd be nice if I could beat it with skill rather than sneaky tactics 😛 Have a great weekend too 😁

    This game was so much fun. I used to play it on the Atari ST and now its a favourite on my Pi emulator. As a sequel to Bubble Bobble they did exactly what they needed to, everything was more vibrant, cute and totally mad like an acid trip! Good choice.

      Awesome I haven't tried the ST version, I expect it's great as it seems to be great on everything 😊 Thanks for watching
