Truly excellent. Especially great to see the games properly rendered with real scanlines, as it should be (but is seldom the case on TH-cam). Thanks ever so much!!
Thank you. Yes, that was a goal; trying to catch the feel of how things look on a 1702 monitor. Most of the time videos are too sharp (and no scanlines) and far too washed out for example. Also see a lot of missing borders.
Thank you very much! I finally found out the name of a game I remember having played as a kid. I have been searching databases and asking in retro forums or ChatGPT, but couldn't get an answer. When I saw your compilations, I was prepared to watch all of them from A to Z. Thankfully, the game is "Arac", and you included it under that title, and not under its alternative name "Spiderbot". So I can finally sleep easy, knowing which game it was.
'Welcome. The video has some hours of my life in it that's for sure. Never, ever leave it 😄 Especially now with lots of new commercial titles being released for it , it's surely is a new golden age! (be sure to check out these series: th-cam.com/video/zQDEobG1aA8/w-d-xo.html.
Thank you for uploading. This must have taken you forever to do. Please don’t take offence but some of the clips make me laugh because it looks like you have not got a clue what you are doing and then you just go onto the next one. I know that many C64 games were just so bizarre and that is why i love it so much. Thanks again 😊
Correct. Many games I never played on C64 back in the day. Sometimes after playing and recording for hours, frustration can sink in (and some titles are REALLY frustrating) I and I didn't bother to learn the game first 😄(1:20:08 is a good (laughing) example).
@@Asphodellife Yes, that's right. Your clips in this video look fantastic but the ones in the Xbox pack that I looked at don't look the same quality - I'm probably not understanding how it works as I see mention of a mod in the comments below. A great job though, should have even more than 30K views!
@@mattflin5171 Correct. The videos in the Xbox project are the same ones (with scanlines), but the vids are cut down in resolution because of memory constraints (XMV format). Thanks for the kind words!
@@mattflin5171 Thank you. And ofcourse if you have an original Xbox somewhere; it's not only art and videos, but also unique (keyboard to controller) configurations for each game!
Yeah, it has had 2 sequels in recent times, also check out Tiger Claw; a heavily Bruce Lee inspired release from 2016: th-cam.com/video/dO1L_6G-6Co/w-d-xo.html
@@Asphodellife Hard to describe since it was really long ago and I was a little kid and our tv was only black and white (so I can't say the color scheme). It was a platformer but the screen was moving to the right always so you had to go forward too. The character was an astronaut I think and you walked on a moon like thing where the platforms were made out of blocks. I only played it a little because accidentally we spilled tea over the casette and could never load it again. It was a bootleg so there were no cover to know the title.
Wow, nice work! You've got the definitive C64 compilations here. I'm still going through the immense catalogue of games to create longplays if possible. Only 29,000 on GB64 to get through 🤣
Thanks. I made these vids for the Xbox collection; the 6000 here sums up the C64 basically. Doing ALL of GB64 might not be worth it, as about 75% are type-ins or basic games.
Including all naff titles the estimate is that it's around 10.000 or even more. GameBase has it's count at 30.000 atm but that includes all type-ins and 'basic' stuff too.
It'll still be some time until I'm through with 0-A-B, I'll fully watch all the parts btw. It's pure nostalgia. Do you have any favourites within 0-A-B @Axel Folly? I have three :) Addams Family, Adrenaline, and one of my all-time favourite C64 games: Bubble Bobble!!
Bubble Bobble (05:33:13) I played a lot! timeless title. Let's see.. Armalyte (01:58:50). Also Barbarian (Palace) (03:00:45) (and it's sequel). I played that one to death back in the day and still do on occasion; perfect in 2 player mode! Buggy Boy! (05:42:41); I actually prefer the C64 version over the arcade original. Bonecruncher (04:52:12) is one of my old time favourites. Bombuzal (04:51:13). To name a few. Also a special mention to Briley Witch Chronicles (1 & 2) (05:27:55); these are recent releases but quite good JRPG style titles!.
@@Asphodellife my memory is blurred and may be bit false. Or false to a large extent. The game was a bit similar to Dizzy (using items in places). I think back in the day there was a walkthrough in some Polish magazine on games so it tells something. Colourful background. Scenery varied. I think I remember desert. A cactus. I think among the items there was a vacuum cleaner and you could fly using it to get to a specific location (?) Your character (I mean the sprite) was rather small. It wore blue clothes and a cap or sth like German WWI helmet, pickelhaube (????) An adventurer perhaps. It was not gordian tomb for sure. Silly/funny/cute, not realistic nor dark.
@@Asphodellife yes, this is it, thank you! 👍Ive already started to believe I made it all up (while I made only 30% of it up 😆) Edit: not so bad, I see there is also the dude in prussian outfit to choose.
Problem is I rearranged some titles from my original Xbox folders, so I don't have a '1:1' list anymore. Also Lemon64 doesn't have all the games listed here in it's database atm. Thanks for the offer though! :)
@@Asphodellife Maybe with some crowdsourcing help with folks on lemon we can manually do it? The games that are missing can be added to their list also..
@@Asphodellife Is it possible to send me the 6000 individual video files? I would like to create some sub genres videos, like all shoot'em'up games and all simultaneous player games.

interesting how the older (pre-1987) games are far better than the later ones, in general. the amount of euro-crap (advanced msx and gfx, weak playability) has been amazing on this platform.
Yeah, better (professional) gameplay (mechanics) came from the East primarely. One man projects, when it came to arcade conversions, with tight deadlines didn't help either through studios like US gold. The Japanese had strict quality control. But those awesome SID soundtracks on C64; o man.
videos of 6000 games! What a colossal amount of work this must have been! I loved my C64 back in the day, this video takes me back.
It was a quite some work indeed; the whole Xbox project (with Boxart, game-configs. etc) took several years in total. Hope you enjoy :)
