Another informative video mate. A genre I passed by in my younger years apart from Destroyer purely because it came out of Epyx. Some good titles in the list and as always you make them sound very appealing do will be taking a look 👍
I've legit been looking for Ocean Ranger for AGES. I remember playing this as an 11 year old when it first came out, but I'd long forgotten the name. But the MOMENT I heard the SID intro music, I knew I'd found this long lost gem. Thanks a million for this list. 😁
I LOVED Ocean Ranger on C64! Fantastic opening and lots of fast-paced action in a hydrofoil equipped to hose anything. Keep your wits about you and NOTHING could touch you.
The old guy who lived across the street from our house was apparently deck crew servicing Swordfish torpedo bombers on the Ark Royal when the Bismarck was sunk. I remember my Dad buying Silent Service when I was too young to appreciate it. I played it a few times but never got past the first screen. Then a few years later, ironically just as I was giving up on the C64 for the Megadrive (Christmas 1990) I played Silent Service for two days running, Christmas Eve and the day before and loved it. But then Christmas morning and the Megadrive came and the C64 was put away for 15 odd years.
@@BastichB64K Cool. I still play Mega drive on Emulator from time to time, mainly to finish those games that I could never finish as a kid, but I have my The C64 permanently setup in my work from home office and play it every weekend. For me it's the perfect blend between original hardware and emulation. I think the ability to save games and gradually progress, allows you to really get into games. As a kid, with tapes, you couldn't easily save, so you'd have a blast at the early part of a game until you died or got bored of failing and never really progressed. I could never have finished a game like Silent Service or Impossible Mission in the old days. I was lucky to get my The c64 just before Lockdown. I spent so many hours on it with the Zeropaige Super Mario game. The save function allowed me to take multiple attempts at tricky parts of the game that would have defeated me in the old days. Same with the Megadrive emulation. Games like Streets of Rage, I couldn't get past the 3rd level. But with saves, you have multiple do-overs without having to battle through an entire level to get back to where you died.
Yeah it was fun indeed. Back in the day we regularly visited other friends who would share their games with us. We would share ours in return. Many days we spent walking between houses, attending gatherings, sharing experiences and tapes ;-) When reaching the friend's house, we would be told to go upstairs by their mom/dad. Reaching the room we would usually enter a realm of mystery, a dark room with a couple of people with all the same interests and the "trading" would take place. Most of us, by then, would have a double tapedeck to make the copying possible. And while the tape was rolling, someone would be writing down the timing numbers on the piece of paper included in every cassette.
I loved Red Storm Rising. I still have my boxed copy. It was one of my favorite C64 games along with Gunship and F-19 Stealth Fighter. What made the Microprose games so good were the almost infinite scenarios the player would be confronted with. Instead of finding the trick to beating a canned mission the player developed tactics to apply to different situations. The role playing aspect of medals and promotions also added more depth to the game.
Yeah everything about their simulations were so far ahead on the pack in terms of atmosphere and how it totally sucked you into this whole military world ... Such good memories
can't fault the no.1 slot. Red Storm was a fantastic piece of work. I'll also have a word about Destroyer Escort and see what can be done about an easyflash version.
I miss it too. As for Red Storm Rising, that was another one of my all-time favorites...spent way too many hours on it when it first came out. The game style is capture in the game 'Cold Waters' available on Steam. Its almost a carbon copy.
A great list, I've played 8 of those and I think you got them in the right order. Red Storm Rising was beyond epic and as usual the Microprose manual was educational and a joy to read. (oh man, I do really miss game manuals) Thank you for that, really enjoyed watching it.
I love these top 10 tematic videos. I only knew Silent Service and Pirates from this list, and I might check out the others, although I prefer the sim aspect over the arcade one. Red Storm Rising seems very cool, I'll start with that!
I had no idea all of these were out on 8-bit systems, very cool! Good list with good games. As for the number one spot, bearing in mind I never played any game on the C64 (I had Atari ST and Amiga in the 80s to early 90s), I would pick for number one either RSR as you did, or Silent Service. Thanks for the video.
It wouldn't have been a C64 naval list without Red Storm Rising at the top. The game is brutally awesome. I spent a lot of time with it back then. And Pirates! is also one of my great favourites.
@@BastichB64K Thanks for the recommendations. I'm going to try some of them out this weekend! Gonna be fun, but I bet I'll just end up playing hours of Pirates again anyway lol
Thx for watching , yeah it is the footage was corrupted in my transfer during editing so I used a flip effect and it fixed it ... Nothing else would work so I had to use it ... The trials and tribulations of editing massive videos and I couldn't reshoot as I'm in the process of moving and the whole games room doesn't even exist anymore 😭
I plan ahead and made an extra 2 months worth of videos so there won't be any interuptions to the channel but technically I won't be making anything for a while until my new house and games room is complete
Same here. I remember it from PC (the one I played), was suprised it had an entry on gb64. Very confusing, features samples also, nothing too fancy. It exists at least. hehe.
Up Periscope was the one I was looking for. I knew Ocean Ranger would be there. Red Storm Rising was my #1 as well. I wondered if Hunt for Red October would be on there
And here I was wondering if PT boats were ever going to be implemented, even if it would only make sense as a always present, selectable Operations stage
When I was a teenager I came home from school one day and my mother had given away my commodore amiga 64 to some charity who likely threw it straight into the trash (it was somewhere between 2004-06). I was so mad.
Hmm ... I wonder what a modern C64 game could do to really add to the genre. My first thought was to depict more modern naval combat ... but there really isn't anything new to add there. This is kind of crazy, considering we've been at war long enough for many sailors not to even have been born yet when it began. So, maybe some more modern gameplay ideas? I'm thinking Carrier Command, where you control a carrier, its hovercraft, and its drones. 3D graphics isn't the C64's forte, of course, but it could be an interesting programming challenge to work around. Character graphics could be good for a swamp/jungle environment that you plow around in with a Vietnam-style hovercraft.
The whole genre has been dead for so long now on almost all platforms .. there's the occasional PC sub and warship games but even those are so few and far between ... I miss these games 😭
@@BastichB64K I guess it just doesn't excite players and developers as much as it used to. I can understand that ... in the 1980s there was the Falklands and the Persian Gulf keeping things in the public imagination. But then the promise of "the big one" fell with the Soviet Union. The feeling of relevance and immediacy is gone. And naval warship technology feels stagnant also. There's no awesome new hydrofoil technology. Carrier aircraft still use 1970s technology ... that may have been new and exciting in the 1980s, but now it's almost half a century old! There is no longer a sense that the supercarrier is the pride of a nation. And of course, we've had our endless wars and occupations ... where absolute naval supremacy has not translated into decisive victories. I think the average person would not be able to articulate what a navy is even for. Even so, I think that there's room for some excitement if you think outside the box. I keep coming back to Vietnam style swamp/jungle fighting. It's relevant to modern scenarios of piracy and narco subs and such. So, you could have hovercraft or river craft navigating in swamps/jungles, along with Operation Wolf style first-person scenes where you directly shoot it out with the enemy. Sophisticated 3D graphics aren't necessary - just character graphics for chunky depictions of foliage and sprites for enemies popping up to shoot at you.
@@BastichB64K Yeah, like that! But the C64 isn't really so great at 3D graphics, so I was thinking something separated into different screens. Like, navigation is done with an overhead 2D screen, with map and GPS (modern era, not Vietnam era). You switch the first person mode only for actually engaging the enemy ... more Operation Wolf or 'Nam 1975 than true 3d graphics.
I loved the RPGs and Sims on C64 (preferred to use my brain than joystick waggling!) I have ALL these navy sims, and am playing Destroyer Escort this afternoon on my C64 setup!
Yeah I was a big fan of the RPGs and Sims as well ... I think these genres on the C64 don't get enough recognition , people always talk about the arcade style titles . Check out my Top 10 C64 video also if you haven't for some more gems
I had Bismark (Though it was titled Bismark - The North Sea Chase) and a game called 'Navcom Six - The Persian Gulf Defense ' I could not get far in Navcom 6. I think the disk was broken and it froze at a certain point.
@@BastichB64K I am from Germany and Games I played ... I don't buy them in a Shop. 95% of all those Games I won without any Manuel or english knowledge .
Only game I played in this list was Silent Service. Spent many hours, after I learn how it all worked. Enjoy it on the C64. I did played it on NES, but still like the C64 version better.
BastichB 64K and most games have their sid background music which are not from the game. (Red storm and power at sea plays their own music as far as i remember). Ssi, microprose and pss were not famous with their visuals and music back then.
loved phm pegaus - just missed the extra mission disk (advanced battle disk) ebay auction a year or two of the only copy that has been seen for decades - wish the bloke that won it would please make a copy for gamebase64 - please !
U.S.S. John Young was simmiest (i.e. most realistic of them all) . Takes a while to figure it out without manual, but when you do it is superb. Red Strom Rising was prettiest (required floppy disc device though) and overall was more of Amiga game. There was also Hunt for the Red October, strange game based on then popular movie (and the novel) where you would use Soviet sub to escape to US, fighting other Soviet ships and sub on the way.
Yeah i never had a manual for John Young so had no idea how to play it and believe it or not i played Red Storm the cassette version and still loved it. Thx for watching 👍
@@BastichB64K Well, usual method would be to start the game and then press all the keys from top left to right bottom, writing down those that did something :D RSR could not fit in C64 memory (with all fancy graphics) and in fact could not fit on a single sided floppy disc, i.e. you would constantly juggle between mission itself, hit animations and briefing/debriefing. Overall, best looking naval simulation, but it was more meant for A500 than for c-64.
@@BastichB64K Come to think of it, poor old C64 didn't even had capabilities for something entirely complex. Considering that in modern times even washing machines have more memory and computing power :) it is really a miracle that someone made naval simulations on such machine.
Ok sorry if I offended you somehow , I wasn't asking for one I just said the game could benefit from it and make it easier for people to enjoy it . Thx for watching anyway
@@BastichB64K 'More Than You Deserve' is the Excess motto ...... Sorry for the misunderstanding. We made your Easyflash version already. We sent it yesterday.

Hello c64- lovers. I'm looking for a game that is similar Wings of Fury but where you also have to land and save the people. Can you help? Have you ideas? It's gmaking me craaazy. Thank you.
Don´t think Bismarck was considered "unsinkable".. People are usually not that stupid.. but it was powerful in its own.. Not just one torpeo hit though you often talk about the one that actually id that crippling damage on the rudder.. I remember alot of these games from the store, but i played very few.. Saly.
Red Storm Rising is my all time favourite naval game. The tension when hunting Alfas and Typhoons was unreal. Great video
Thx , its a perfect sub sim .. so emersive and yeah real nail bitting tension 👍👍
100% agree on Red Storm Rising, still play it 30 years later, chasing that elusive Congressional Medal of Honor....
Such an epic game ! It's still great even now
@@BastichB64K for sure! I also think the C64 version is way better than the Amiga and PC conversions.
Oh yeah its way better 🕹️👍
