C64 Longplay: The Equalizer

[@basicallysnake]

This isn’t Wonder Boy, and I have the perfect name for him.
When I first showed my mom Wonder Boy, (Keep in mind she never had heard of Wonder Boy) she forgot his name and called him “Wilderness Guy”.
If anything, THIS is Wilderness Guy.

It's not Ed 3-Wood, either.

[@Highretrogamelord]

Originally (?) known as "Toddler". I'm watching a stream of this right now and the player has problems even with all trainer cheats enabled.

[@Emulous79]

He can't complete it? Maybe a dodgy ROM or bug I've not encountered.

[@Highretrogamelord]

@@Emulous79He completed it...I think. It seems to loop, right?

[@Emulous79]

@@Highretrogamelord Actually, I don't remember ever seeing an ending. Is it that Mexican guy doing the stream?

[@Highretrogamelord]

@@Emulous79 No, it was a German streamer.

I have never played this, but I'll give the game props for having far more accurate graphics to the arcade version of Wonder Boy than the official C=64 version did. Also, the music is also kinda catchy.

What is WONDER BOY doing in this complicated run 'n shoot game? 😹🕹️

[@Emulous79]

He took some 'shrooms, I think.

[@ArttuTheCat]

@@Emulous79 That figures 😹.
He became like...
SUPER WONDER BOY BROTHER 😹👍.

At least it looks somewhat playable, for being a Wonder Boy clone.

[@Emulous79]

It's better than I expected. Apologies to the elusive Mr. Raeburn.

[@savagekurtain5710]

@@Emulous79 True. It doesn't look bad at all.

[@00Skyfox]

So the Equalizer went from a secretive badass to a caveman in a diaper who’s trying to drown himself inside a plastic bag filled with urine?

[@Emulous79]

I'm los f r words.

[@eleanorburns8686]

He looks nothing like Edward Woodward. And he's lucky SEGA never sued him.
