    Hungarian here! Indeed this is one of the four games that was ever published by Hungarians and even one of the first from the Eastern Bloc published by Novotrade at London organised by the Hungarian Trade Comission! And yes, at that time wearing jeans were indeed a status quo, as we were the most relaxed country at that time before the iron curtain fell. Nice to see my weird country represented by this weird little game haha!

      ​​@@mycosysthe s is more of a sh. The accents over the vowels are meant to be a long vowel. It's hard to explain to an English speaker what a long vowel is but the án is meant to be read like "aunt" with an English accent without pronouncing the t. Oh lord. Explaining accents over the internet is hard.

    Regarding point in the beginning, I would argue we went full circle. At this point literally anybody can make a game in Unity, Game Maker on Godot in their bedroom, and start selling it on itchio, or even Steam or App Store if they can scrounge up 100 bucks. And people absolutely make this kind of weird little games now as they did then.

      as Jim Sterling has shown, there is an awful lot of garbage on Steam that's sold as games, but is really just a weird mess someone seemingly created in a drunken and stoned haze. So there's definitely still a lot of weird games being made by lonesome programmers

      Can't forget Unreal which is free to use if you don't make any money off your game. Of course there are also a lot of tutorials out there that just about anyone can learn to program and write their own game without using an engine at all. These days, I would advise anyone doing a 2D game to go that route and perhaps use RayLib or SDL.

    One thing I noticed about games and software produced by Commodore, back then, was that the vast majority of them seemed to be what we would call "shovelware" in the 90's. There was always a HUGE contrast of software and game quality between the games produced by actual software companies compared to the stuff that Commodore was selling. There are only a few small exceptions to this that I can think of. And I think this video gives the answer why. They were probably farming out software development to groups who were probably trying to produce the software as fast, and as cheap, as possible, pushing it right to the bleeding edge of fast and cheap.

I am not sure I ever completed it more than once due to dyspraxia, but I do remember beating it and feeling proud and somewhat empty. While the game was bad when you look at much later games, I felt it was the one of the least bad of a terrible bunch of bobbins of that era of home computers. Loved the video though!

    I'm Hungarian, and i have no idea where the inspiration for this monster came from :D But the early years of c64 had quite a few games originating from here, like Caesar the Cat, Chinese Juggler, Arctic Shipwreck, or a bit later Scarabaeus (which you should check out if you haven't seen it yet, quite mind boggling for 85, and also full of wtf moments).

    • @Asphodellife

    Just as a little curiosity, Dénes Baán made a television appearance a few years later in the show called "Mi és a computer" (he's in episode 32, which doesn't seem to be on TH-cam, but you can find it elsewhere online). He spoke about networking solutions that his company was providing, and I don't think he worked on other games at all after this project. Most of the Hungarian game developers in this era moved on to more serious affairs after two-three years, because the crunch was absolutely unbearable.

    that was nuts.
    i expect the trunk etc came from the developers thinking "what can be moving parts to shoot off our monster."
    what im most surprised about is the "ending" where the monster actually turns back into a princess. I assumed up until that point that the whole "transformed princess" thing was something tacked on by the publisher to explain the nonsense in the game.

    European fairy tales do have interesting and sometimes horrifying stories, but they rarely mention elephans in jeans. Interesting thing is that since this "game engine", the mechanics works, it would only have taken some background image, a few levels with gradually increasing difficulty and an end screen and it would have been a complete game. And maybe redesign the creature a lot.

There's a Baán who has taken part in writing a hungarian rulebook for the bridge card game at the Hungarian Bridge Players Association like 10yrs ago. He also looks to be a long time player, having what looks to be his first ever game on record in '88. Dékány could have been the developer and Baán the designer. :)

    Maybe this is the girl David Bowie sings about in "Blue Jean".... maybe.

    The speech cadence and some other things of this video sounds kinda AI-generated...

    You know, I can't lie, the game's music kind of weirdly slaps.

    Haha love the jeans tangent... Indeed, jeans were 'a thing' in Hungary in the 80s, with the domestic brand Trapper being a symbol both of western glamour and of inability to attain it, having to settle for the local knockoff... as exemplified by the following folk rhyme:
    "Trapper farmer, drága kincs
    Jó ha van, de jobb ha nincs."
    ("Trapper jeans, a great treasure
    Having it is good, but not having it is better.")

    It's strange to my ears that Octavius pronounces 'dance' like 'darnse' like a southerner. Must have spent time down south.

    Ashens has Dancing Monster cut scenes on his live Twitch streams. It's a weird looking game, big sprites animated in that way.
