The A-Team had to be the worst one.

Korea karate looked like a atari 2600 game

Double Dragon was REALLY bad.

In all fairness, Hard Drivin' was asking a lot from the C64.

Horrible games! I Played The Great Giana Sisters 3 and it's very bad :P

Welcome back, John 😺👍🕹️! THE GREAT GIANA SISTERS 3 exists 😹?! Oh my meowing God 😹! Also, i have to admit, that i still have HARD DRIVIN' for my Commodore 64 in a compilation called TNT (CiB, tape). I bought it from a local retro game store in Tikkurila, Vantaa (Finland 🇫🇮) in October 2022, and that was the first time, i tried that game on my C64. It is absolutely worse 😹 than the Amiga version 😺👍🕹️. COMMODORE 64 FOREVER 😺👍🕹️! Press play on tape AMIGA FOREVER 😺👍🕹️! Insert disk 2 Greetings from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.

Kinda strange WOW version..

Impossible Mission was my all time favourite, unbelievable it is 40 years old this year :) Raid Over Moscow was a badass game, it was banned in some countries during the cold war era. Boulder Dash was also a very nice game i played a lot.

I played the #&*& out of some of these... Buggy Boy ! Nebulous ! Barbarian ! Speed Ball ! Best time of my life. All downhill from there.

1989 started the real Amiga domination

I put tons of quarters into Rolling Thunder as a kid. Never had it for the Commodore 64 but wanted it. Love the games, thanks for the memories.

Great Games . loved watching, brought back memories. thanks for the video.

The game at minute 09:00 in Italy was called "Il funambolo"

do you think Henry from Henry's House knows that Ralph from Wreck it Ralph?

excellent video new subscriber

Some classic games in there John, I just played Bomb Jack the other day too 👌

Batty was free with a magazine if I remember! It was an absolute classic!!!!

The man is a proper llegend

I loved Captured, amazing music and great gameplay. Blood 'n Guts was so hard, never completed it.

Gunshoot is Bank Panic clone

the early days, some games are on C64 level

Only game im missing is commando.

some of them are technologically insane. They look so good.

Horríveis

Love thiss stuff thx.

Hard to imagine the Amiga was already around even before I had a C64! a fantasy computer unattainable at the time. These early titles like Defender of the Crown and Marble Madness made me drool and showed off what this 'future' machine could do and what was to come with '16bit'. But the rest of these were sometimes even worse than their 8bit counterparts. Well, Silent Service, but I was never into simulators. A shame the Amiga never got Japanese studios to develop for it.

Rocket Ranger, Super Hang-On and Pac Mania were 'real' Amiga show cases. The rest not so much, and felt like Atari ST and 8 bit titles. International Karate+ was good though, but more because of the game itself. Garfield looked better on C64; Amiga version is clunky and badly animated in comparison, lacks the awesome SID soundtrack too.

Should have made the video 50Hz, a lot of those games actually look better because running at 50fps.

Minter also did several games for the Atari Jaguar… they were fun but I have to admit the “action and speed until you go crazy” style of gameplay he always did didn’t pan out super well for audiences that were craving Aliens vs Predator type games at that point.

Werner!

We can see "LaunchBox" but what is it? Where to give it a try please?

What website ?

What is it?

I can't remember it was so bad ! Pitty i lost so many years in front of such bad games 😢

So many great games and memories, what an awesome time to be a kid. I hate being an adult and these times are shit anyway. Cheers

You REALLY don't want to know how long it took me to realise what the giant FSS referred to in the game 'Boulderdash 2' in that screen you showed of the game. I have a trait in that I can't see the blindingly obvious even if it's right in front of my face sometimes. And I'm far from intellectually stupid. Probably as bright as they come.

Ahhhhhh the memories🎉🎉

Not the correct version of Donkey Kong.

Nice work on the titles.

Did he manage to solve that camel thing?

Motor Mania was a superb gane in the day. Even though you look at it with adult and modern tech eyes and it's like look at a primate use a stick for the first itme, but it is still a great reflex game (in the narrow parts and slowing for emergency vehicles). I always wished the game had expanded a bit to have something to do other than dodge objects.

1987 called, and I want back into Barbarian gameplay. For anyone who hasn't partaken, this one throws you into a swamp right before you go on a side-scrolling, dungeon-hopping frenzy with just one sword, one shield, two glorious mouse buttons and on-screen control bars to rule them all. And then right back out again. Forget fancy combos or even joystick controllers, this is about raw, primal hacking and slashing while trying to find one of the 20 buttons to mouse-click, all while somersaulting over traps or standing your own against chunky skeletons, shoddily trained orcs, "sentient rock-piranhas", wolf-men, a dragon, and a maniacally laughing fireball-flinging sorcerer that I never learned the secret to terminating, for several years. The controls are about as nuanced as a drunken walrus on a pogo stick. Accidentally smashing into walls and waddling backwards was more like a feature, not a bug. You'll curse the flick-scrolling and yearn for some greater sort of control over Flavio McBarbarian, but when you land that perfectly timed shield bash, sending a fireball back into your enemy's face in a pixelated explosion...just wow. Also, you become invincible or enter another dimension from the baddies after you go to pick something up, until you move again. Just part of the magic, I guess. Verdict: Five out of five pixelated pecs for this brutal, beautiful brawler. This is two-button ballet at its finest!

So many cool games, nostalgia and happy times from play the game in these videos. For me it was the golden age of gaming and innovation. It didn't matter if the games didn't have amazing graphics, my imagination filled in the blanks there and it was more so the playability that these games had and still have even today. I've still got my C64 and it's games, it was the best Christmas present a kid could have alongside a cool BMX! The 80s, what an amazing time to be alive!

This was my favorite c64 Xmas demo! I still load it up sometimes for some nostalgic laughs. Can you share your version or a link? I love how it says “only $595” at the end, but the online versions I’ve found say something different. :(. Thanks for sharing, merry Xmas! :)

Some favorite slightly obscure games: Trollie Wally Lady Tut Zynaps Hard n heavy Mini Golf (1988)

Pit stop, Mikie, Giana, Commando and phenomenal International Karate! ... good old times:)

I still have IKARI WARRIORS for my Commodore 64 as a tape version. And it's harder 😹 than the Amiga version 😺👍. I even bought it with a compilation called FISTS 'N' THROTTLES last year's October from a local retro game store in Tikkurila, Vantaa (Finland 🇫🇮). The main reason for getting that compilation were DRAGON'S LAIR and THUNDERCATS. 😹😺👍.

I was looking for a video like this. We all know games like turrican, leander,etc.etc but it is good to remember also old games, where developers had to deal with a complex machine after the 8 bit era
