HEAD OVER HEELS | Commodore 64 (1987)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2024
- Head Over heels is a classic arcade adventure for the Commodore 64. They are separated at the shoulders but capable of joining together to maximize their abilities in some situations (but reduce them in others, so they can be split again)
The game is presented from an isometric perspective, and presents the characters with a number of puzzles involving switches, jumps and climbs. The levels are 3 dimensional, and the characters must collect crowns as they progress. Objects can be picked up and manipulated as necessary

Absolutely one of the best games ever on the C64. I spent a large part of summer 1988 with this game, and have to say that this is the single most rewarding gaming experience I have ever had.
Graphics - absolutely beautiful. People are asking for colour - well, which one do you prefer: 160 x 200 resolution with many colours or 320 x 200 with a single colour? I think the beauty in this game lies in the details of the hi-res graphics, in multicolor the graphics would lose all the charming details. Ok, maybe a hi-res sprite overlay could work for the characters, but then the backgrounds would still be blocky.
Sounds -gotta say I love the jingles.
Puzzles & game world - a huge and atmospheric world to explore. Some devious puzzles and a lot of extremely difficult jumping action.
The quite recent PC remake is very good, but I prefer the original C64 audio scheme.
I got so immersed with this game, although initially I remember bow frustrating it was.... even jumping over the radiators at the beginning used to kill me off straight away 🤣 with plenty of practice I absolutely love this game. The music, the graphics, the puzzles. Just awesome 😇🕹👌
I didn't even remember this game didn't have colors. I had to double check this really was C64 version, since my child's brain must have somehow colored the scene by itself. Weird but I agree with you, never noticed the lack of colors (until now).
Another brilliant game from the Magnificent Seven Ocean Compilation, easily the best compilation I ever purchased. And RIP to Bernie Drummond, yet another C64 name who has sadly passed.
Am slowly adding the magnificent seven compilation individually, was definitely an iconic compilation for the Commodore 64. Yes, we lost a lot of legends this past couple of years... they certainly left a lasting legacy amongst us admirers of their games and works ❤️🕹👌
HEAD OVER HEELS
The game... the legend...
THE MASTERPIECE 😺👍🕹️!
I had this game for my Commodore 64
as a tape version in a compilation
called THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.
Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond are the legendary game programmers 😺👍🕹️🕹️.
The magnificent seven compilation was everybody's Commodore 64 dream game set back in the day. Alas, I never got it myself but fortunately got all the games in the pack eventually over time, all classics 😇🕹👌
I find there's a real charm associated with isometric games, and this one has bags of it. Good stuff indeed!
I agree with you there, games like this cemented a legacy on the 8-bit machines... whether it be the C64 or other micros. But they all leave a lasting memory for those of us who were lucky enough to have these games, growing up as kids 😇🕹👌
Quintessential British perfectness.... us "yanks" missed out on so much. This is the C64. The music, the color, the menus the feel. this is just bliss and when the Aliens come, im showing them this one! Another day, another banger from ole cheekstar 40k. Thank you brother, keep them coming!
Such an awesome game this one isn't it and there's a few more coming soon - glad you're enjoying the channel my friend. Hopefully the nostalgia is flowing through 😇🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer I cant wait to see you hit 100k subs cheeky, I really want to make a real dope ass youtube channel about my nostalgia with the c64, atari and nintendo. Am i your only channel member?
You and another my friend :) be great if others heard of the channel too, but the TH-cam algorithm takes a long time to get going. Dont worry, I'll be here for a long long time 😇🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer im not going no where sir.
It isn't a typical C64 game, the isometric viewpoint, most popular on the ZX Spectrum range of computers wasn't all that popular at the time. Not many C64 games were of this type.
Jon Ritman re-used and modified the isometric engine he created for Batman... I thought he did a good job with this game but I suppose games are very subjective 😇🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer It is a shame that the C64 port didn't make use of the additional colors of that system.
head over heels for c64 look like zx spectrum version. better is head over heels for amiga, atari st. head over heels are classic game
Admittedly it was awesome on the Amiga - I'll definitely look at that version at some stage I'm the future too 😇🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer head over heels they have can make better for c64. why use ugly zx spectrum version
Jon Ritman re-used and modified the isometric engine he created for Batman... I thought he did a good job with this game but I suppose games are very subjective 😇🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer i k now what you mean . batman 1986 game for amstrad cpc and zx spectrum. batman 1986 game was never relase for amiga, c64, atari st
Man I loved this. One of the most epic c64 games! Never could get all five crowns 👑👑👑👑👑
Definitely an absolute legendary game. Nope, never completed this one either back in the day but managed it more recently with save states :/ 😳🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer yeah I think save states is ok for this game since it takes a very long sitting otherwise!
I always say this game at my local Kmart but was too expensive for me. I never had it back in the day. Shame i never played it all, seems like an interesting game. For sure a very unique game, even for the C64.
Was certainly a very memorable adventure with great intro music too 😇🕹👌
An excellent explanation. All the other videos I've seen covering this title barely talk about the game, making me think most didn't get very far. I will be checking this title out, but maybe a version with a bit more colour perhaps.
Glad you enjoyed the video, I'd recommend the Amiga version as it's full colour and still a banger of a game 😇🕹👌
Super frustrating not knowing what does and doesnt kill you. Spend hours on this, but could only do one of the worlds. Did it even have a save game facility?
You need to find reincarnation fish, thats the closest you get to being able to save the game. Just need to keep topping up extra lives really, finding those bunnys 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer Did that work if you reset the computer though? I could only play the game for so long before I rage quit. Usually cause I couldnt see the edge of something deadly behind an archway
@@charly03090309 I had a +3 Spectrum and Multiface which allowed me to save snapshots of the game to disk at any time. Did the C64 have something similar? Having to rely on the fishes was a chore.
Never played this one, remember looking at it but the lack of colours and spectrum style graphics put me off!
Hopefully you'll give it a go as its a very good game 😇🕹👌
As with pretty much every 8 bit isometric game, the Spectrum version is the better game. The Beige Breadbin was never comfortable with this style of game and the single colour graphics give you a good idea of where this was released first. Having said that, its still the best game of its type on 8 Bit machines with clever layouts, smart puzzles and clean graphics. The one plus the C64 did have over the others is, as always, the music. Being a sound philistine, I never had the in game music on and, as such, certain games recall certain songs or albums. In this case its Hold Your Fire and specifically 'Force 10' that springs to mind.....
The best isometric game on the C64 will always be The Last Ninja, a game that shows the rest of them just how the Commodore 64 could handle isometric graphics 😇🕹👌
