    I've spend hundreds of german Marks on Galaga (Arcade) and never was happy with the conversions on the 64.
    Glad it only took 40 years for a proper conversion. Now I can die and rest in peace.
    Edit Bonus this video has been released on my birthday. What a coincidence.

      Did you ever see Zalaga for the C64? I missed that, until recently. That came out about 1983/4. that was very good. Also there is a Mastertronic conversion of one of the sequels of Galaga that came out in 1988 on the C64 which is very good too. :

    • @desiv1170
      @desiv1170 2 года назад +4

      Agreed... There were some incredible looking/playing games for the C64 released while it was still being made, but those (Mayhem in Monsterland, Turrican II, etc) were released in the early 90's, and I had an Amiga by then... If those type games had been released in the late 80's (got my A500 in 87), might I have held onto my 64 a bit longer??? ;-)

    recent c64 games look so good. the colour palette looks deliciously retro like the atari 800, yet the smoothness of handling of multiple sprites is as good as the megadrive, better than the amiga.

    • @Enfors
      @Enfors 2 года назад

      Yes, I agree. That looks like a game I would like to try. Also, the music sounded amazing - it was different from what we're used to from the C64, in that there wasn't a lot of drums and stuff going on in the background, instead the music seemed to focus on melody - and very beautiful melodies at that. I wish each clip of that game would have been longer, so I could have heard more of the music. Can we get the name of the game, so I could look it up?

    Either there is some very odd editing going on, or I just don't understand Battle Kingdom's game mechanics. From the video it seems to switch levels spontaneously when there is only 1 enemy left, and I have no idea what prompted the sudden Game Over. If the idea is to show people games they do not know, please give just a little thought as to whether what you choose to show them makes sense.

    • @Wishbone1977
      @Wishbone1977 2 года назад

      @@u64 I think it's debatable what makes a scene the "best". For instance, showing killing every enemy except the last one on a level twice, but not showing even once what happens when you actually kill the last enemy on a level is just annoying to the viewer. Likewise suddenly showing a Game Over screen without ever showing the death that prompted it.
      That said, do what you like doing, and don't take comments from "some random guy on the internet" for more than it is ;-)
