This game completely beats Katakis and R-Type in graphics, sound, action/gameplay and fairness (you don't start at last checkpoint with absolutely no weapons, you were just downgraded just like in Turrican 1/2). This game I actually beat without trainers back in the day after some playing, just like I did T1+2. Manfred Trenz here showed how far here came in completely ruling this machine after all the games he made.
Brilliant work...bravo! This is quite an awesome looking game. Great overall game design, incredible sprites, parallax and sound design; the best shooter I’ve seen on the C64-or evening the NES-yet! Five stars and an exploding quasar on this piece! ;)
On '92 you been already at the Amiga? I got my brand new C64C at Xmas '93 and I loved it. 😅 (we didn't had any home computers here in east germany before 1990 so the C64 scene was strong in the 90s here 😅 all my friends and family had a C64)
@@Elbas_Tardo in terms of presentation, weapons upgrades, different music per stage with sound fx at the same time, bosses and stage variety I cant think of Many. Turrican 2 shootem up level comes to mind. Please dont say Project X?
What is it this dude is doing that so very few others are that allows him to put a crap-load of stuff onscreen in intense action scenes and with no slowdown. I mean, Rendering Ranger R2 on SNES is mind boggling, and still only running in SlowROM mode. 😲
The parallaxing was not great on this. Very rough around the edges and for reasons I totally understand, but I still think it could have been handled better. It all looks a bit rushed.
to be honest I am disappointed with this game ... to me it looks like a quick job by Mr. Trenz... I can never compare this to Turrican 2 / Katakis / Denaris / R-type ... by any stretch of the imagination! The shoot em up levels in Turrican are far better.
It was a quick job.. It was sold on a gamedisk magazine for around 10 deutsche Mark. (today 5 Euros). You never could buy this in stores. For the price its okay...
WTF! How can you achieve such superb graphics and smooth scrolling from the old C64? Jaw dropping! I'm playing it tonight!

This is C64??? Wow! By that time I was already on the Amiga. One thing the Amiga should have had was a C64 SID chip to play those wonderful tunes.

@@nichderjeniche Yes, thank God for great German musicians like Markus Siebold here, and Chris Huelsbeck. Amazing music, loved those days.
You have to consider that this game was originally released in a disc magazine (Golden Disk 64).
best shoot° em up c64 game
Awesome game, my favorite next to Turrican 2 on the c64.
just great
The best shoot'em up ever made on a Commodore 64, made me want to play (and eventually I did :) ). What a blast! Thanks for uploading it!
This game is so badass! The music and gameplay rocks.
God, I say this a lot but... SID music rocks!
C64 Music can be so awsome in its own Charme.
Legend.
Wow. multi level hi res parallax on level 2! This game is simpy amazing and better than most Amiga shooters.
Yeah but that's actually easy to code
"better than most Amiga shooters" :D No.

Haw, the Force modules from R-Type are nicked as enemies for this game.

Did he reuse some Turrican and R-Type graphics for this game?

Dark-grey and dark red / blue doesn't go together! I wish someone would have told Trenz this... ;)
nope ..... had it been some indie game developer or hobbyist like me I would have accepted that no problem ..... but from a genius like Trenz NEVER.

Remember: he made it for a disk magazine
