    07:12 Mayhem in Monsterland got epic reviews in 1993, including 100% in Commodore Format. You could give it a bit more prominence than sitting at #44. Deserves its own video!

      Hey there. I remember well. During 1992-1994. CF had little else to report on. I have actually covered this game before too as well as Psytroniks anniversary edition of it.

    • @JustJamie1983

      It is also debated if 100% was actually worthy too. Many have speculated that score as a selling point for the magazine. If goes much further the more you look into it. That's not to say it is a bad game. Because it was a masterpiece for its time for sure. Besides. This is my top 50 and their isn't a definitive official "top" to date. Even Lemon 64 has now surpassed MIML with other games in top place.

    As I know Monster in Mayhem used the same programming trick to enhance the capabilities of C64 as Creatures to look this awesome. Unfortunately Monster in Mayhem came a bit late in the C64 era so it did not get the respect it should have.

      Yup. Both were programmed by the same team.

    Wow! Extensive list! Even after all these years still finding lots of new old games!
    My favourite C64 platformers were
    1. Bubble Bobble (2 players)
    2. Bruce Lee (2 players)
    3. Mario Bros. (2 players)
    4. Magic Madness
    5. The Great Giana Sisters
    6. Gribbly's Day Out
    7. Solomon's Club
    8. Mr. Robot (with Level Editor)
    9. Madness
    10. Jumpman Jr.
    11. Wonder Boy
    12. Hard 'n' Heavy
    13. Spherical
    14. Impossible Mission I & II
    15. The Newzealand Story
    16. Bomb Jack
    17. Zorro
    18. Ghosts'n Goblins
    19. Ninja Commando
    20. Donkey Kong
    21. Jumpman
    22. Hunchback (out of pure nostalgia)
    23. Draconus
    24. Rick Dangerous 1 & 2
    25. Nebulus
    26. Snoopy
    27. Cauldron II
    28. Flimbo's Quest
    ...rest I remember is too bad to be listed.
    Wish I had Wonder Boy 2: Wonder Boy In Monster Land back then. Rainbow Islands, Rodland, Castlevania, Ghouls'n Ghosts, and Mighty Bomb Jack, would have been great as well.
    There's so much space left on the screen and the game titles fades out too fast.

    I didn't think Black Tiger had any home ports at all until very recently with the Capcom Arcade on Switch. It didn't look great, but it didn't look bad, and it looked like it had all the gameplay of the arcade. Is that the only home port from the 8 or 16 bit era?

    Some games yes. Some erm... no .. Platformer is a bit of a tricky one but surely batman isn't a platformer. back in the day I loved Pacland and I'd classic the turrican series as platformers too.

      @@JustJamie1983 Of course.. but a game where you walk left to right only without a single jump surely is adventure. Heavy on the magic, dundarach aren't platformers for example. Batman the isometric game is kind of a platformer. Maybe I missed something and there are jumping sessions in the other batman game in which case I stand totally corrected. Fist 2 is more of a platformer IMO. :)
