ARNIE | Commodore 64 (1992)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- Arnie.. for the Commodore 64, a one man army in this isometric multi-scrolling game where the screen scrolls when you move. Your mission after being dropped by a helicopter is to infiltrate the enemies base and walk around the whole complex killing as many soldiers and destroying as many vehicles as you can. The route you take is pre-meditated with objects keeping you on a set path to follow like walls, bridges and barbwire.
You must avoid and shoot the enemy soldiers who are either armed with a machine gun or rocket-launcher and if you touch them or get shot then you lose one of three lives. Occasionally a red soldier will run on to the screen and if shot leaves behind a better weapon like a M60 Machine Gun, RPG7 Rocket-Launcher and a FT25 Flame Thrower, but they have limited ammo. Vehicles also appear and these include tanks, armoured vehicles and helicopters and once again if touched or you're shot then a life is lost.

That looked far better than I expected it to be. Almost like a isometric commando. Will check it and the sequel out.
Yeah it was a similar style to your Commando/Who Dares Wins but in isometric view with super slick gameplay... thanks to Chris Butler. The flamethrower gun decimates the enemies and still my favourite weapon. Good game this 😇🕹️👌
saved up my 50p's to pick this up on cassette from WHSmith over a summer holiday, seeing it here I can still remember the frustrating parts where you just have to memorise the right path through.
Trust me, I struggled big time. Especially when dodging the 'timed' bullets section and the low flying aircraft (Which decimated me tons in the making of this video) - still, had fun though 😇🕹️👌
To me Chris Butler is the Godfather of C64 games. Short time conversions, impossible conversions. The guy needs a knighthood.
This was brilliant and best thing, a budget game.
Theres a few developers for the Commodore 64 that I am shocked have not been knighted by now! Hope the king pulls his finger out 😇🕹️👌
I have never played this game back in the day because I replaced my C64 by an AMIGA 500, but after seeing this video I will download it and will play it because as you've said it takes C64 to the limits 😮👏🏻
Certainly worth a play through if you've still got love for the Commodore 64 as it's super responsive and challenging too 😇🕹️👌
Wow... 1992. I think I was mostly using a PC, by then, and not acquiring new Commodore games; something like "Project Firestart" was one of my later acquisitions, simply because it got harder and harder to find stores that carried such. I'm impressed with the smooth scrolling with the sheer amount of mayhem going on around the screen at any given time, though, I'll definitely give it that.
Never played it, but looks great! Chris Butler is without a doubt one of the most talented C64 programmers, I still play some of his many games like Commando, Thunder Blade and one of my all time favorites: Ghost & Goblins from time to time
Extremely talented and he converted some of the best arcade ports to the Commodore 64. I am forever grateful for the likes of Ghost & Goblins like you say... superb games with tons of nostalgic memories 😇🕹️👌
I was deep into Amiga world by the time this game came out, but Chris Butler's "Ghosts & Goblins" is still one of the best platform games ever released for the C64, in my opinion.
You're right there... I even liked the 'Nostalgia' remake, which added the extra levels missing from the original. Ghosts & Goblins will always be a true classic 😇🕹️👌
Remember buying back in the day . Enjoyed for the budget price 😊
Chris butler did commando 6 years earlier too , along with power drift , turbo charge thunderblade
What a legend on the c64
Ghosts 'N Goblins & Space Harrier too, he was the master of Arcade conversions 😇🕹️👌
This one missed me back in the day, but man, I wish it didn't. I would have been excited to have this...looks great
Superb game - especially for me as I am a big fan of games such as 'commando' and 'rambo' so this was right up my street 😇🕹👌
Loved this game. It was alot of game for the money. When you die into a pile of bones was a nice touch. Great video as always mate 👍
Certainly kept me hooked whilst playing it, a little shorter than I realised but then again when you look at the likes of 'Rambo' it was much longer than that game and Rambo wad always considered to be a classic 😇🕹👌
I had original floppy disk. LK Avalon was releasing games from Zeppelin in Poland when C64 was almost a dead platform in early 90s :) Arnie was one of my favourites next to the American 3D Pool.
Ahh great game you mention, I need to add American 3D pool to the list of games to cover 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer one of best couch multiplayer games on C64. We played tournaments with friends :)
The gun being called 'Armalite" is a nice nod.
Yeah to the game 'Armalyte' do you mean? 😇🕹️👌
Top notch graphics, I love that style.
and it runs so smoothly too, super slick game 😇🕹️👌
I’d been in the army for 2 and a half years when this came out. If it had been released 4 years earlier, I reckon the mags would have gone mad on it.
Very true, it was at the trailing end of the C64 games cycle and many of Commodore 64 gamers had jumped ship to the Amiga or the fourth generation consoles by then... still, it showed that there was plenty of life in the old dog yet 😇🕹️👌
Nice to see Arnie getting to the chopper (Choppah!) there at the end! I never completed the game myself but it's great fun mostly. Hate those homing missiles though and sometimes it's a bit fiddly navigating the landscape (which is a bit mazey in places) while constantly being shot at! Great final game by Chris Butler. Too bad he didn't do the sequel.
Yeah it's a really tough game when the going gets fast! You need to be patient and watch for enemy fire patterns near the end. Reminiscent of the final stage of Commando, the enemy soldiers pile out of that building too! Good fun this game, highly recommended 😇🕹️👌
Sequel was one of the last games released for C-64, and alongside this one was something like "yep, you cannot do anything better on this machine". Only potential flaw was isometric perspective. It took some time to get used to it, especially since advancing required to go up & right, which was not always easy on stock Commodore joystick . On the other hand, isometric perspective gave something of 3D look.
One last 'Hurahh' for the Commodore 64 from the awesome Chris Butler. You're right about the isometric view - it worked perfectly in games like 'Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters' but in a genre such as this I think Chris was just trying something unique and once again, showing off his legendary programming skills 😇🕹️👌
A really good game, I remember enjoying this very much. It wasn't quite like or much different than Rambo/Commando... it was just different enough to be memorable :)
Very true, the isometric view point was a nice addition to an already great genre of games for the C64 😇🕹️👌
Another top review. Looks like a really fun game.
Thanks man... yeah I really enjoyed playing this game again - very decent little shooter for the C64 😇🕹️👌
Echoing what others are saying, Chris Butler is without doubt my favourite C64 coder bar none. I’d love to know what he’s doing now. Great video thanks.
Last known working on Super Putty for the SNES, after that... probably retired, not sure - like yourself, I'd be interested to know what he's up to these days 😇🕹️👌
www.zzap64.co.uk/zzap17/butler_didit.html - nice little intever he did with Zzap all the way back in the day 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer Yeah one of my favourites!
Interesting! My C64 was LONG gone by the time this came out but it seems to be an isometric Commando/Who Dares Wins with a lot of polish to it. It really looks like it could have come out 4 or so years earlier then 1992, it dosen't appear to push the hardware and a shame it's short, but it does look to be a lot of fun. I'll give it a go under VICE later on today.
I've definitely seen some of Chris Butler's work. He makes some really nice games! But I haven't seen this one. Looks like it might be fun to give a try sometime!
Certainly one of the best games he's made and a totally original idea from his usual 'arcade ports'... I think you'll enjoy this game definitely 😇🕹👌
Never heard of this. Looks epic.
Its a lot shorter of a game than you'd think, I think it took me 10 minutes to run through it... but it was good fun in the process 😇🕹️👌
It was Sly calling the game Arnie. I recently downloaded this game after last playing it many years ago. Tough as hell but i'm determined to complete. I'll be back in a few years when i do.
Sly Stallone? Haha - yeah they really milked it with the title but it was one of the selling points no doubt back in the early 90s. This game IS TOUGH! Especially when the screens get more hectic and 'low flying airplanes' just pop out of nowhere. I wouldnt have been able to get to the end screen without a trainer, but I'll be interested to know if you manage to complete it 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer 😁😁
@2:28 Nooooh, yew cannowht keel Ahnoldt!
Cool the way the flesh would literally tear off your body and you'd be reduced to a crumpled skeleton! A nice little addition - which was something similar to the 'death' effects in the game 'Rambo', when you killed an emeny soldier 😇🕹️👌
ya cassette i loved , only had 2 on a cformat mag demo. found the demo to be promising.
I'll definitely get around to the sequel too someday 😇🕹️👌
Was a great game! But don't tell the us government about the AR 15!!
Yeah... that gun seemed to be popular amongst the civilian enthusiast over that way! 😇🕹️👌
Sadly never saw this, by then I was using my Amiga
It did get a release for the Amiga too, however... I've yet to try the Amiga version myself 😇🕹️👌
Get to da choppa
Get To Da Chopppaaaaa!!!! 😇🕹️👌
In Soviet Russia, da choppa get to YOU!
Those sentry guns blend into the background and you forget about them especially when they shoot you in the back which is very frustrating
Haha yeah I died quite a lot to those darned Sentry guns especially 'off camera' because sometimes you just forget they're there 😅🕹👌
@CheekyCommodoreGamer They are blue it seemed to blend in to the background probably deliberate from the programmer
I bought ARNIE for my Amiga 500 from
a finnish 🇫🇮 website in December 2019 😹👍🕹️.
At that same time, i bought two other Amiga games, STRIKER and THUNDERCATS 😺👍🕹️.
The Commodore 64 version of ARNIE looks much better 😺👍🕹️ than the Amiga version 😹.
It's like, WHO DARES WINS II meets COMMANDO 😺👍🕹️.
Do you know, I've never actually played this on my Amiga yet but I need to get it fired up - it was awesome on the C64 though 😇🕹️👌
First demo I played on a Commodore Format Powerpack. 21 I think?
Thats the same demo I had originally too - it was always the first time I'd ever played a train simulator with Southern Belle haha. Good times 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer Pretty sure I started that before having Sunday lunch, only to return later to find out where my train was.
Arnie on the cover of Arnie 2 looks like he's been sick. :) Or he kicked the 'roid habit :D
Definitely looks like he's been on a diet 😇🕹️👌
Had moved on by then however the Commodore USB stick I have will get a thorough seeing to I will be back
It's amazing having a full library of games on an easy to use USB isn't it - that's how I can access the majority of games I want to play now. Especially those that originally came on Disk 😇🕹👌
0:36 lol that guy looks so unthreatening. And he's wearing lipstick lol
He's posing for his photo... so wanted to look his best 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer 😁
Was it this one where instead of releasing a demo they accidentally put the whole game on the Commodore Format cover tape? Or was that Arnie 2? Maybe it had fewer lives but I think I got through it anyway.
Haha I heard a story of something similar but can't confirm if it was this game or not... but I do believe something like that has happened before 😇🕹️👌
Sorry for off topic, but i think you can somehow play c64 games multiplayer via emulation/PC why don't you stream playing Pit Stop II or something with someone if possible? Would be a great cozy episode!
(And i would personally love to do it, i think you gotten some big fans doing what you do! Love it and may your patreon and RUclips channel grow
Thankyou my friend, its down to the great community and people like yourself who still have passion for thr Commodore 64 and the awesome nostalgic memories these games bring 😇🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer It helps that you put so much effort into your videos, congrats to beating Swed...Switzerland, i guess ´ll be rooting totally for England this year, my crummy country didn't make the plays.
among Commando, Rambo, Ikari Warriors and Who Dares Wins, "Arnie" is sadly the weakest game
I think all the others mentioned had already established themselves as classics before Arnie came along, but it was a nice twist with the isometric view 😇🕹👌
