Which was the best cartoon game for the Commodore 64? 😇🕹👌 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= More from 1987: tinyurl.com/1987-C64-GAMES My Top Picks: tinyurl.com/CCGS-BEST-GAMES
As a finnish 🇫🇮 retro tomcat 😺🕹️, I am going to meow one thing honestly: ROAD RUNNER is the best cartoon tie-in and definitely one of the best best arcade conversions, I have ever played 😺👍🕹️. I still have this game for my Commodore 64 as the tape (Kixx) and disk (ARCADE FORCE FOUR). The Commodore 64 version of this game has absolutely the best graphics, the best controlling, and the best soundtrack ever 😺👍🕹️!! That is the fact 😺👍🕹️. Also, amazing yes, there is an old western comedy movie, CACTUS JACK, of the year 1979. This movie must have got the inspirations of the LOONEY TUNES cartoons and stars three movie stars, Kirk Douglas, Ann-Margaret and Arnold Schwarzenegger. This movie is - in my opinion - a hilarious classic 😹👍. Thank you 😸😺👍.
Hehe Cactus Jack was my Grandma's favourite film, we used to watch it every time we'd visit her over in Ireland... great memories - as for this game, it's certainly a fun arcade romp 😇🕹️👌
This is a game I hated to love, yet I still fondly remember it. I find solace that someone on the other side of the planet in the '80s was equally frustrated trying to pickup birdseed piles!
I used to love this and another game called Cliffhanger which was similar. In Cliffhanger you played through setpieces where you'd be waiting for a cowboy to walk along a path and you had to time events correctly to kill him. You may be holding a heavy weight that you need to drop on his head or a boomerang you had to throw to knock him down. The timing had to be precise and if you enjoy this game and its premise then you'll love Cliffhanger 😀
Bryan's Spanish Cove. It was a $1500-a-week rental place in Orlando. They had what they advertised as "an arcade" which amounted to two arcade machines outside under part of the second floor of the main building. One machine was a combo Ninja Gaiden and Chip'n'Dale's Rescue Rangers. The other was Road Runner. This was 1997. And it was right by the pool and hot tub. If you were out there, you had to listen to that 30-second loop of meep-meep! and the William Tell Overture over and over again.
Hahaha I can imagine that would have grated on you after a while!! I bet it was ingrained into your head and this video may have produced a little bit of PTSD haha. Ninja Gaiden was such a great game in the arcades though 😇🕹️👌
It took me forever to realize the feed meter wasn't a timer, but that it counts to make sure you don't skip more than a few piles of seed per level (unless you can find lemonade)
I love this game and i have recovered one original tape for my C64 and i found a trick after you made game over, in a restart there is the first canyon hole up, if you go inside you continue at the level you died before. And now i have same game for Atari 2600 on cartdrige, very well done for the few kb of the machine. Thanks for the video
A friend of mine had this on diskette. I absolutely LOVED the cartoon as a kid and because of that I probably gave this game far more play time than it deserved. I thought it was quite bad actually. To me it felt rushed and buggy. But... I mean.... Roadrunner. Good times (the cartoon that is)
It can be extremely frustrating at times, especially when the Coyote is on the pogo stick! Like yourself though, I also really loved the cartoon. It would be on every morning before I had to go to school so I always associate those early days with the cartoon 😇🕹️👌
This was a terrific conversion in terms of capturing the essence of the arcade game, but the music really made me wish they had used a soundform other than "sawtooth" for the tunes. Got more than a bit grating, especially the version of "Flight of the Bumblebee." I agree about the labyrinth-levels and stopping dead; you pretty much just had to memorize the layouts. Something I was much better at as a teenager.
My hand to eye co-ordination isn't the same as it was all the way back in 1987... but I still really enjoyed cranking this one up and testing my mettle against the coyote once more 😇🕹️👌
Glad you enjoyed it! I loved the cartoon as a kid and the iconic 'meep meep' noise was always copied around the school playground when we was all very small 😁🕹👌 good memories

Haha yes, it was a frustrating time but an equally brilliant time with this awesome little addictive arcade romp 😇🕹️👌

Cliffhanger is up on the channel :) 😇🕹️👌 Its only a short video though, I need to revisit that at some point in the future
This was the first game that I bought as an original for the C64, because there were no copies available in the schoolyard at the time. 😂😜 I loved it
Some games were hard to get hold of in the schoolyard! We had to submit to the pound coin and buy some games in the shops hehe 😇🕹👌

We had this for NES growing up. The feed meter on top always reminded me of a hand slapping piles of yellow corn or something
Haha yeah when you put it that way I can definitely see what you mean 😆🕹👌

This was a game I had on DOS - I loved it so much.
Good fun this game, took some pure dexterity to avoid the Coyote at times! Addictive 😇🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer No kidding! I had to memorize when the caves would open up so I could get away from him back in the day.

Ahh awesome, I'll have to try that little trick! 😇🕹️👌

Played this on the ST. Absolute nightmare.
Was certainly frantic in places, I agree 😇🕹️👌
I remember loving this one as a young padawan👍🏻
Now you're a Jedi Knight and the force is strong in that one 😁🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer Thank you o great Obi-Wan Commodori 🤘🏻🕹😅
Hahaha awesome 😇🕹️👌

2:25 that music is seriously stressing me out 🤣
Haha yeah it's screeching isn't it! 😆🕹👌 sorry about that
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer it's ok that music isn't your fault 😛. It's kind of an interesting piece but it sounds manic here 🤣
A funny game, no doubt. But i liked the TV series better. Great video once again, thank you. 👍🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! I loved the cartoon as a kid and the iconic 'meep meep' noise was always copied around the school playground when we was all very small 😁🕹👌 good memories
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer Very good memories indeed...MEEP MEEP!! 😉
How exactly did the Commodore keep up with YOU?
I have zero idea, but am loving the nostalgia trip... plenty of coffee required! 😇🕹️👌
Great game.....ish
It certainly has some very frustrating moments, for sure 😇🕹️👌
