Franko is legendary!! I could never beat the pirate dude! "Nie kupuję u piratów!!!"

 

[Luzur]

hey, i have that game somewhere, but i used to call it Crazy Fight.

and that other game, by the same company, where you are Conan or someone very like him.

 

[Sentenza]

I'd like to give my contribute to the list:

Wings
My favourite flight combat sim; too bad for the arcadish missions... (strafe/bombing)

North and South
Can't believe nobody mentioned it yet

Robocop 3
almost forgot that one. Crappy movie, great game.


==

 

[RaXz]

I didn't mention North and South because it was a multiplatform release, if I am not mistaken. Still, I should have mentioned it, the game rocked, Centurion as well.

Never played Wings, only Knights of the Sky. Even in multiplayer with a friend on another Amiga.

Another that is worth mentioning, although it's a ripoff.

Scorched Tanks

And of course, initially developed solely for the Amiga.

Worms

But the scorched games were better in the end, imo. Scorched 3D!

 

[Luzur]

why have no-one mentioned the PET games yet?

I didn`t find any movies about Team Yankee and War In The Gulf but those were awesome games too.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

Wings of Fury

And Transarctica, bitch!

 

[Section8]

I don't think so, this game had a dark fantasy look to it, should have mentioned that. The character is a muscular guy with a metal helmet covering his head/face.

EDIT: Game is played from side view.

Black Tiger

Great game. Get the arcade ROM.

 

[Destroid]

FUCK YEAH

I remember Black Tiger well. You collected the coins as you went along, and upgraded your initial weapon with others and bought armour, etc at shops. It was certainly an easier game to finish than Rygar. Harder than Wonderboy and Wonderboy in Monsterland though.

Here is one to test you. I cannot remember its name, but I will give a description anyway. It was a platformer that had various platforms up and down. You didn't so much as scroll through the level, but rather had to fight different enemies that would come into play on that level until you defeated them all, including bosses.

The game was cartoonish, and you picked out of three characters, one a pigman with a rake, another that looked like a monkey with a staff and some other character that had a different kind of polearm. I am guessing it is the cast of Monkey Magic.

You could attack, jump, do jumping attacks, etc. Once you had dealt with most of the enemies for each level, the boss character/s would appear and again you would have to use the various platforms to evade them and gain position. Quite a hard game.

Eye of the Beholder for the C64? Yes, someone is making it.

There are actually quite a few people still making games for the C64.

 

[Luzur]

there is a game company that makes C64 games, but i cant rememebr their name now.

made some tape/disc submarine game some year ago.

EDIT: PSYTRONIK SOFTWARE is its name. http://www.psytronik.com/

++ for the music of Amberstar, but this one is the best:

[Flanged]

Heh. Newfags. Don't yous know that Smurf Paint'n'Play on the ColecoVision was the last original game ever?

Seriously, it was, though. It invented Peter Molyneux - but don't blame the game.

Shadow of the Beast and Heimdall were outstanding, and thankfully came to me at an age when I still didn't realise that games were supposed to be beaten and completed. I just experienced them, as new environments, 'till something killed me. It was better that way, in a way.

Another World and Flashback.... perhaps the true pinnacle of gaming, and of CGI?

With all their futile artistry and pseudo-realism and motion-capture, have Pixar and ILM really ever managed to surpass the hand opening the can at 1:58 in this?

Particle physics was still just seen as a good excuse for nonsense in those days, though, as it is now.

Looks like that sequence was rotorscoped to me.

Thanks for the link. It is a pity that they are all arcade games. I was hoping there might be an RPG tucked away somewhere.

Edit:

Is that the game that someone here was making? I could have sworn that is the same game.

He seemed to vanish after a while, and I was waiting for him to finish it and play it on an emulator. I have a real 64 to play the other games, hence why I still look about for anything promising.

http://www.lemon64.com/ Just go to games, and search under genre and rpg. Plenty there I haven't heard of before.

i know the dev posts on Denial and lemon64 forums, but on the Codex?

well, i cant say i have a particular need for emulators either, but it is easier.

yes, i am aware of Lemon64, been a member there for a few years.

Woah! All still fully functional?

Put my foot in it that time...

I have a more 'utilitarian' collection. Only original breadboxs collected (prefer 6581 sound) for parts/spares, Commodore monitors and 1541-II drives (older models have psu in the system. overheating problems). I am guessing you are more of a collector now than a user?

I would like some oceanic or other clone drives, but I can never find any for sale outside the US, and then we have that wonderful NTSC rubbish involved.

As for emulation, it just isn't the same to me. I still have a 'commodore' setup in my house, with the Amiga and the C64 side by side.

You don't happen to have a 1571 for sale?

 

[asper]

Jesus Christ, that is an awesome collection. Now I have to clean all these cumstains from my walls.
