Auf Wiedersehen Monty
Ho! I was never really a fan of MotR, I just found it too damn annoyingly difficult, but I always believed the mags to have loved the #C64 games. Turns out not so much..? From 90% for MotR to less than 50% for the follow up. Oh fie! Decent Hubbards mind... 😎

There is a long anecdote about TC and my mate Tim, that focuses on a mix tape (a real cassette!) back and forth we used to make and post (through the mail!) when I was on my year out after A-Levels and he was in his 1st year of university. The #C64 game is not great. Try it!

Yie Ar Kung-Fu
I was never a fan of this BITD, thinking the jump mechanic was stoopid. However, having just played it for a few goes this morning, it's way better than the #C64 SFII attempt. In fact, don't we now have that cool Capcom vs SNK, or something..? SFII had a remake, or no?

Back to the Future
I knew the #C64 game of BttF III was above average - I am not sure on BttF II and I didn't even know there was a game for the original (and best) movie. Well, Martin Walker, or not, it's friggin' diabolical and the music is also pish for thee! £10 for this? Bogus.

I never owned this BITD on the #C64, but I recall seeing it, and indeed I just re-read the review in CF1 whilst having a coffee in my kitchen. I also just spent 10 minutes playing the game - it is nowhere near as terrible as the Zzap! reviews made out. It was rather fun, actually.

Die Hard
One of the only, if not THE Only #C64 game I have known that at Game Over, it allows you to quit to the "desktop" (BASIC boot screen). This game is turgid, but it does have some nice static graphic scenes. John McClane has been on Big Ron's BIG Pies, clearly. Kinda fun mind.

Atomic Robo Kid
This is really a very good shooter for the #C64 - I never really gave it a chance before, but, with freeform multi-directional scrolling, power ups and a balanaced difficulty, with it's ogrgeous backdrops and fluid play - this is great fun. Often overlooked.

Stay the course, Friends. If we can make it to the end of 2028, we should get back on track!

I mean - come on! The CLASSIC KLAXON is going bananas. Possibly / probably the best #C64 shoot 'em up and one of the best games ever made on the computer, for me. Fo' Sho'. I am waiting for @fuzzweed.co.uk to come over and play 2-Ply with me. Updated version soon..?

Altered Beast
The #C64 conversion of AB is slow as hell, boring, blocky and just a bag of shite. This loading image and another AB logo image I couldn't seem to find IRL, is the best thing about the game. It really is rubbish. Mags reviewed it at 75% or thereabouts. Nope.

Alien³
What could have been a decent #C64 game is a flickering, buggy hot mess of insanely difficult & not very rewarding ladder & shooting action. Making player sprites so massive usually allows for more fidelity, not so much here. Also, it makes the whole thing hard AF.

A recent conversation about whether I have or do not have (I do not) the "Reloaded" version of this for the #C64 has driven me to add it here. If you haven't played this - play it. Gorgeous animation, music, GFX, gameplay - it has it all. The SID as soon as you start, *mwah*!
