🕹C64 Game of the Day🕹
Retrograde (1989) by Apex Computer Productions and published by Thalamus. First impressions would have you believe this is just another shoot’em up. Don’t be deceived, this is far more than that if you have the staying power. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64

Kwik Snax (1990) by Jason Benham and published by Codemasters. I’d forgotten how playable this Dizzy spin-off is and how different it is to the other versions of this game. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64 #C64

🕹C64 Game of the Day🕹
W.A.R. (1986) by Darrin Stubbington and Tim Rogers, published by Martech. A nice soundtrack by Rob Hubbard unfortunately leads into what can only be described as a rather boring and uninspiring Uridium clone. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64 #C64

It’s #2sday again and this time I have Sooper Froot (1983) by Commodore and Las Vegas (1984) by Anirog. I’ve never really understood the appeal of fruit machines on a home computer. However, there were a lot around so I guess they were popular. #Commodore64 #C64 #Retrogames

Little Puff in Dragonland (1990) by Keith A. Purkiss and published by Codemasters. A cute Dizzy style adventure game. Be prepared to keep restarting though as touch pretty much anything and it’s game over.. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64 #C64

Here’s another #Microprose game I picked up recently. It’s not a game I’ve ever played but I believe it was quite popular. #Amiga #MicroproseMonday #Retrogames

Cosmic Convoy (1983) by Andy Walker and published by Taskset. With a similar storyline to Battlestar Galactica, the aim of the game is to protect your convoy (that resemble Eagles from Space 1999) from imminent attack. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64 #C64

Finally completed Wormhole by Protovision. A really tough game without using the trainer although I had to use save states. Fabulous game with some really infuriating moments but perseverance paid off! #Commodore64 #C64 #Protovision

Organism (2018) by Achim Volkers with music by Saul Cross and published by Psytronik Software. If you’ve not played this you really should. Eerie atmosphere and suspenseful gameplay make this a fantastic alien like game. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64 #C64

180 (1986) by Andrew Routledge with music by David Whittaker and published by Mastertronic. Probably the best darts game on the C64 and always fun to revisit every now and then. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64 #C64

Looks okay but its shame about the sound!

Quedex (1987) by Stavros Fasoulas with music by Matt Gray and published by Thalamus. An interesting and original take on rolling a ball around a maze within a time limit. One of the weaker games from Stavros but still fun. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64

I like the the style of Parallel Lines. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ve played 76 so I’ll have to keep an eye out for that one. I picked this San Francisco car up a while back, don’t have the original box unfortunately but it’s still nice to have.

Another new addition to my yellow Electronic Arts collection. I have fond memories of playing this one back in the day. I also remember how seeing the intro for the first time was a jaw dropping moment! #Amiga #Retrogames #ElectronicArts #Accolade #TestDrive

Bongo (1984) by Udo Gertz and published by Anirog. A single screen platformer with quite comical movement and annoyingly unforgiving control. However, it somehow manages to have that just one more go appeal. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64 #C64

Zaxxon (1984) by Peter Adams and published by US Gold. A very good arcade conversion that looks lovely. The isometric viewpoint though can make gauging height a bit of a challenge. #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64 #C64

Hot Rod by Activision. It’s a fun racer but more practice is definitely required! #Amiga #Retrogames #Activision #Sega

Classic Snooker (1987) published by Anco. Interestingly, I have no idea who’s responsible for this but the ball physics are very questionable and would be quite laughable if they didn’t seem to always favour the computer! #C64GameOfTheDay #Commodore64 #C64
