Well it's a Commodore 64 with a SCPU 02:12:32 (one of three games needing it). One could argue it's not a 'real' C64 because that cpu wasn't around in the 80s. But is a PC not a PC when it's an upgraded PC? The extra memory though WAS an existing add-on in the 80s (REU).
@@Asphodellife I see what you mean, but a PC is a concept (or concepts) on a totally different level. Excluding the fact that it really means personal computer, the "IBM PC" standard diverged rapidly from 1984 and onwards, just a year or so after IBM PC/XT become commonplace in 1983. That never happened to the VIC-64. It had that same slow paced 6502 (10) through the decades, and the same 64-128K DRAM. Hobbyists building another faster computer to attach to it was another thing, as I see it. And they should really have redone the video interface as well, while they were at it :) Could still have used the VIC keyboard and diskdrives if they wanted.

Great games, lots of memories, thanks for the video.
My pleasure :)
Congrats for the most EPIC videoseries in TH-cam!
That was a lot of sweat, tears and joysticks!
You have NO idea.. 😅 Thanks for the kind words!
U96 is just a reskinned Battleships from Epyx
It certainly is a clone, like there were many at the time. Came on Magic Disk 64 magazine in December 1992. By CP Verlag.
Insane task, great!!
Thanks. The project on Xbox got out of hand a bit, yes 😆
so i watched all videos in the last 3-4 weeks in real time ( of cause ) and the game i was looking for wasn´t in there ;.(
Dang. What were you looking for?
The c64 is the best 8 bits ! ❤
Usagi Yojimbo. Absolutely rinsed that game and never completed it.
That was an awesome playable title (00:22:14). Shame they chose to make it a single-load, as their original plans for it were even better.
Wolfenstein is not the VIC-64 though, but another much faster processor (and memory).
