Love your videos and humour. I'm a fellow North easterner who had an Amstrad Cpc 464 with my faves being rebelstar, Lords of chaos, manic miner, I was jealous of most my cousins C64 games (used to love Hypersports and kick start 2) and loads of fun evenings with my mate and his speccy 48k playing match day, matchpoint and fighter pilot. Love your Roy Orbison comment, amazing!
Just what is Arnie about to do when he ducks in Red Heat? I guess you search for love wherever you can :-) Not a film but worst tie in for me was the V game. So ripe for a video game and they made that crap. I still have it sitting on my shelf.
Back then getting licence for a popular movie was good enough to sell anything. Publishers just wanted to get something that just resembles a video game. They cared only about graphics that had to be resemble a movie and a theme song. Such games were made in a really short time, because they had to be on store shelves when movie was in theaters. 16-bit platforms usually got better movie tie-ins, because it was easier to make simple games for them. Usually asset swap with minor gameplay changes would be good enough. There are special movie tie-in games. Those that were made long time after movie was released. The Blues Brothers by Titus is one of such games. It was released over a decade after the movie and was just a good game for Amiga and PC. Same can be said about Blade Runner or from recent years Alien: Isolation. Those were made by people who loved source material.
It's always interesting to see movie licence games where the developer must goes 'We have a super successful movie here, let's create something that has nothing to do with the thing people love' lol I mean what were they thinking with the No 17 James Bond?! Great vid! Additionally have you played Hook? That's a bad Com 64 game in my opinion.
Hey OSG, can you remember the super wild card accessory for the SNES? it was a device that plugged into the cartridge slot on the SNES and you could insert copied 3.5" discs of loads of pirated games. We used to go to Wallsend Library every Thursday night and exchange stacks of snes games. It was so wrong, but we must have got, between us, every USA, japan and euro snes games out there. Super bomber man 5, Axelay, super tennis (4 people playing, awesome lol!) , Pop'n Twinbee (best music on SNES ever), Ganbare Goemon, Pocky and Rocky, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Super BC Kid, Super Parodious….the list goes on. Keep well mate!
I can't remember that.. I had a snes but just for a short while and only really played Mario kart and the super starwars games...oh and star fox ...are you from wallsend near me ?
Mate, Star Fox at the time was MEGA, loved it and loved the SNES. I think I was an Amiga fan to be honest and I also think the gamecube was massively underrated , had some top games on that system can you remember star wars rogue squadron, resi 4, resi evil zero, super monkey ball 1 & 2, Zelda wind walker, Metroid prime, pikmin 1 & 2, Mario sunshine. Keep safe mate
Jeez, you aint kidding...there was some right old crap in there, fellah! Personally, I tended to avoid buying movie tie-ins, back in the day, as they always seemed to take a proper panning from the likes of Zzap 64 or Commodore Format. The only really decent, licenced game that I remember playing was The Blues Brothers...but that was on my Amiga. A really fun video, all the same...thanks, and keep telling it as it is, lol. 👍👍👍
Lol! I had a C64 when I was a kid and was wondering if Red Heat, Moonwalker and Ghostbusters II would make the list! What made these games even worse was their loading times especially Ghostbusters II.
I was waiting for A View to a Kill to come up on the list. I remember being so excited to get a copy of the game but then gave it up soon after cos I couldn't get anywhere in it.
@Peck Man Empire strikes back on the VCS was indeed epic. The AMC translation on the C64 is fine, but when it comes to Minter, I prefer Matrix and Gridrunner over AMC. A shame that he never did a Tempest port for the C64.
Apart from Cobra I missed/avoided all of em and after watching yer vid, I'm glad I did! Being a adult when I bought my C64 I didn't get fooled by the hype of the movie tie-ins as most of em were shite. Once they'd coughed up loads of cash for the movie licence there probs wasn't much left over to make a good game in most cases, well, apart from those in yer other list. :)
@@oldstylegaming Haha true m8! growing up's for suckers. I was 18, so an adult in the eyes of the law. Reet! I'm off to play a 35 year old computer game then I'm gonna change the uniform on mi action man :)
Have you done any documentary videos on games? I would love to watch your take on Spyhunter, Rampage, Attack of the mutant camels (my first game when I got my C64 on my 8th Christmas). Great videos OSG.
I did one in Rtype a while back...and then a one on chaos engine for the c64 ...you can see them on my channel ...I'll look into doing more but they so time consuming as to how much research etc has to go into them...I'm actually working on one now about copyright ... But it's only getting done in between other videos
@@oldstylegaming I saw the R-Type one, it was great and is amazing how the game looked and played so good on C64. I'll watch Chaos engine when I get through the Best 20 Movie games! I imagine they are very time consuming. Remember Eagle's nest? Class. It was like Paradroid meets Gauntlet.
I remember buying the running man 🏃♂️ on the c64 from WH Smiths and completing it on my first go! Absolute pile of poo. I took it straight back and exchanged it for Batman the caped crusader! So glad I did
same here - i played through The Running Man on the first go while my older brother sat there shell shocked at my 'mad gaming skills'... wish i had returned it for Batman too
It's good to know that the computer gamers of the time were subjected to the same kind of garbage that us console kids were. I still have nightmares of Total Recall. Arnold in a lime green jumpsuit beating up hobos and skeletons.
I didn't own any of these, though I did have a Predator 2 demo (kind of liked it tbh) Worst movie game I had was Addams Family, which I got the big box version of one Xmas. It was really disappointing ☹️
Dear god these games are so so so so bad, for as much love i have for my old 8bit bread bin am so glad i never spent much time on games like these (or did i haha). Great vid man thanks a lot roll on the next one :)
sadly licensed properties are more often than not just a easy route to cashing in sales, especially in the most retro of game consoles, they started getting better with NES, Megadrive and SNES, but even then there are shit cash-ins there too... so i'd say it wasnt until we customers had a voice on the internet to give everyone the heads up not to buy it if it's shit, THEN publishers took the matter seriously.
Highlander... was so disappointed in this game. A game could be your whole birthday present and you would get stuck with a shitter like that.. no demos available.
The Aliens and Predator game were complete shit too. Looking back at those, I think people who made games for the c64 didn't even know what the fuck they were doing. Most had this experimental university student vibe, where they tried to torture a player with shitty level design and controls that made you ask yourself what the fuck you were doing. Thinking about what would bring the player joy and how to explain the game to them by playing, weren't part of the equation.
Sorry, nothing to do with this, another great post though. ...I'm absolutely gobsmacked that you've never played manic miner on c64... gobsmacked man. Oh, and dominic diamond was streaming on twitch , I reminded him of our encounter and....... he had no recollection, bloody celebrities.

I liked him too...in fact hes one of my favourite actors...im more on about a Scottish accent when he was supposed to be Spanish....same with Untouchables when he was meant to be Irish....oh and The Hunt For Red October when he was meant to be Russian lol.... i wasnt calling his acting hes a great actor
@@oldstylegaming indeed, it didnt make any sense to give him non-scottish roles, he pulled off Bond well enough though, so i guess they figured he had the star power to pull off any role regardless of Accent. they were right of course, but that dont change the fact that it dont sound right for a spaniard to have a deep scotsman accent.
Aaahhh top gun I loved that game. But it was down to love of the movie so I put up with bad graphics and little gameplay, but I would always load it up, or code masters slicks or Emlyn hughs International soccer
Should have been (though in fact wasn't) the Moonraker licence for Christmas 1980. Then again, the graphics would have been 'pretty good' on a 16k Atari 400 in '80 and fine on a 32k fully expanded VIC 20.
Don't be. It it'd loaded, maybe you'd actually found that you liked it just as much as I did, by the time's standards and context. Personal tastes, own criteria and all that...
@@JohnSmith-sy6zm batman the movie from ocean? Cos its one of the best platform games on the c64 i love it. The graphics are class, the music is class so i the gameplay although the vehicle levels are a bit meh
Well, all of those were ripping off 1985's "Shootout" in the first place, so, to be fair, they weren't less guilty of copycatting their way into the party than Predator 2 was.
I think the 64 version of Dick Tracy slighty beats the Amiga version mainly because the music actually sounds like music and not like a couple of cats fighting on a Casio. Still monumental crap, though.
'Cobra looks more like Roy Orbison...' Legend.
Ahahaha, yeah, that had me laughing loud as well. :D
There's only reason why the Spectrum version of Cobra turned out so damn good...

Predator 2 was alright on the Atari ST. I enjoyed how gory it was and how you could shoot the predator on the background even though he was invisible apart from the eyes
Return to Oz was pretty good, considering it was released in the 19th century.
