Geoff Capes Strong Man - BBC Model B - Real Hardware

I've just found out that Geoff died a couple of weeks ago, so here is my best attempt at this game. It's REALLY hard.
The first one you need to press the flashing muscle as quick as possible (the effort changes the muscles faster). I think you need to press a certain number before the time is out.
The second one you have to push the guy out the ring. I don't know how this works and took a couple of goes before I randomly won.
I was totally confused when trying to control the hammer, so I didn't do too well on that one, and that was game over.
There are another three events for anyone good (or lucky) enough to get to them.
I actually met Geoff once. I think it was a school trip.

A recently found Asteroids game originally written in 1979/80 by Andrew Farmer. It's had a few fixes done by Milasoft and released here: milasoft64.itch.io/a-f-asteroids No sound, but a decent game of Asteroids. My webcam software/phone/PC seems to stutter occasionally when recording from my phone to OBS, so any slight pauses/dropped frames aren't from the game. 0:00 Intro, demo, title screens ...

This is a shoot-em-up that I got as part of the Amiga 2020 Documentary Kickstarter. I hadn't tried it until yesterday. It was written by Stephen Fletcher, the great title screen is by Trevor Storey, with the equally great music by Rob Hubbard and Jason Page. It's split into three main parts that are like Galaxian, Star Wars, and Defender, with some bonus and asteroid parts added. You can collec...

Released for Halloween, this is a game made in SEUCK (The Shoot-'Em-Up Construction Kit). I've made a few games with it on the Amiga, but I've never used it on the C64. My first two or three goes I didn't make it to the end, but then I had this go that lasted two hours and could have gone on forever because it doesn't get harder each loop (a limitation of SEUCK I'd expect). I eventually looped ...

This is the sequel to the Vic-20 game Pentagorat that I did a playthrough on a couple of years ago - th-cam.com/video/F8Xj9rIptd0/w-d-xo.html When I saw this one was released last week I had to get it, and I wasn't disappointed. It's similar to the first one, though with it being on the C64 it has better graphics and this time it has music playing throughout. Once you know what you are doing yo...

A modern PET version of Jeff Minter's Vic-20 game (which was also released on several other platforms). This one is released by Milasoft: milasoft64.itch.io/gridrunner This also allows joystick controls, which would be much easier, but I don't have an adapter for that, so it's the numpad to move and 'A' to shoot. It's a great version, and if you look at it being played on the C64, this one is v...

A 2024 version of the arcade game Wizard of Wor. It's quite similar to the original, and is really good as a single player. I haven't played a proper two player game on it yet, but I expect that will be even better. The keys are a bit odd, but that's to avoid conflicts with key presses on a two player game. You can get it from ko-ko74.itch.io/petscii-wizard-of-wor-c64-version

I don't think I played this when it came out in the arcades, but I did play Drelbs which came out a couple of years later, which was similar with the rotating doors. This version doesn't have as many doors, but isn't bad at all. It has an invisible maze on level 4, but apart from that each level is the same. The enemies each have their own way of moving, so you can plan your moves sometimes, an...

You can never have too many Donkey Kong clones! Well, actually I've never been much of a fan of it, so you can have too many, but I liked this one. This is also one that's been enhanced for a joystick. It has the usual four screens, and hammers to pickup where you'd expect. A good version I think, but I always seem to like clones of it better than the real thing. Maybe it's because they are eas...

This is a great shooter, obviously inspired by Galaxian but simpler. There are several different attack ships with different types of weapons (some aim at you, others split into a shower of deadly bombs). It has 20 levels in total, and this enhanced version has joystick control, though the PET is one of the only computers I can't currently use a joystick on (I'd need an adapter). Highly recomme...

This is pretty much the film "Fantastic Voyage", except it's Frankenstein's Monster instead of Donald Pleasence. You are shrunk and injected into the monster and have to defeat lots of bizarre things, like frogs, cigarette packets, and fried eggs (I'm not making this up) that are floating about in him. After the brain level it starts again. There are two versions of this. The original version 1...

One of my favourite C64 games was brought to the BBC Micro with impressive results. This is probably the second best version. It actually came out on the Atari ST (though not the Amiga), and looked almost exactly like the C64, but ran much slower. I don't know if that's because all the videos I've seen are showing an NTSC version for some reason. I'd say this is harder than the C64 original, as...

Not the one you are probably thinking of, but another one from 1988, spelt with a 'Z' this time. You run or fly to the right shooting enemies. Each level is about 10 screens long, and you can collect different weapons and energy pickups. There are two notable things about this. The first is that you can play as a simultaneous two player game, and the second thing is that once you die you can st...

A platform game with four screens of changing difficulty. From the instructions: "Your ship has to make an emergency landing to pick up tools, water, fuel rods and oxygen. On each screen are 6 items to collect. When you've got them all, return to your ship." You can change the screens you play, difficulty, and view the high scores on the main title screen. It also had a colour or black and whit...

You control the lift in a hotel and need to take the guests to the ground floor. If they make it all the way to the ground floor themselves they will complain, and if you let a bag fall off the conveyor belt they will also complain. Three complaints and it's game over. You can move your lift up and down the lift shaft, and also make the guests jump to avoid holes in the floor, which will stop t...
