UGH! on Dragon 32 vintage home computer

[ChrisUKOne]

I had this! Very playable in the day. There were a lot worse! lol

[Starxxon]

Looking back I think that this video is in the top 10 funniest Stevebenway videos.

There's something about the fact that you can't get the game to start and always come back to the title screen which has the word "UGH!" written in big letters that I find hilarious! :)

[alexbaxthedarkside]

looks like fun, lots of hours will fall off to this game :D

[Snuffomatica]

I've still got my Dragon 32 as well as this game - I also have Grandstand's Caveman tabletop game that broken1394 mentioned below. This is such a similar concept... I didn't notice it at the time.

Where's the "Any" key?! I see "Esc" I see "Contarel"! THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY ANY KEY!

Great video, man!

[BlooditeDrakan]

I could play that game over and over again just trying to best my personal best score. Good stuff Steve.

[Rockythefishman]

And in this time the most precious substance is the spice... LOL So a classic bedroom coded game then..

[DocHackenbush]

You solved one of the two big gaming-questions of my life, Steve. I saw this game at a friend's house somewhere in the early 80ies and I loved it. But having my own C-64 shortly after that I never got in touch with it again. Until yesterday I couldn't remember the name. But now I'm smart again, thanx! If I only could remember the name of this other game I once had...

[Gamester81]

Great review over a game I've never heard of. Probably the best title for a game I've heard in awhile. lol

[DemonmachinE]

This one looks alright. I think I'd manage to play it for a little while. Could use a FEW more sound effects, but it looks good.

[jackobyuk]

the best dragon game so far i have seen... :-)

[Retrosofer]

not sure about this one, it doesn't seem that great.

[SteveBenway]

It's mildly amusing, if you're in the mood for something a little different.

[atombat]

The Spice racks must flow :D

[SteveBenway]

I'll name that Dune in one ;)

[atombat]

Haha classic film.

[julsyDCst]

Nice to see another person grapple with iffy menu screens!

[Ogma01]

Designed by Chris Morris...??? How far he has come since 'UGH' on the Dragon 32! ;-)

[NickDiPerna]

Nice dinos.

[rhydermike]

"Which one is the any key?"

[kapeesh67]

Awesome vid as always, lawl. I'll have to check the dragon 32 out :)

[rudeydudey05]

I had a Welsh mate who had a Dragon 32, never seen one in action tho. Thanks for sharing.

[markvergeer]

'Even later' = Dutch for a little later, instead of even more later.... So whilst not being able to start the bloody game you did manage some gramatically correct Dutch on the side! LOL

Meanwhile on the other side of the pond I am thinking I've seen this game on another platform, can't remember which though....

[SteveBenway]

My guess would be on the Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer.

The Dragon is a modified clone of the CoCo, so some of the software is compatible.

Actually, I should see if I can run these Dragon games on my CoCo2, as then I could run it on my LCD TV, and avoid all the flickering.

[broken1394]

I thought the very same thoughts as you Steve before you said it in the clip

... Very game and watch!!

In it's own way It looks quite quite charming.

Remember B.C's quest for tires?

Grandstand's Caveman?

We used to get the occasional prehistoric based game...

now it looks like one!!!

I think you should have said this a walk through

on the titles for this one!!!

lol. x

[SteveBenway]

I've seen Quest for Tires... I might even have it here on some system or other... not sure.

I never played Grandstand Caveman, but I have seen it.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Chipsturs has that... he's into those tabletop games in a big way.

[Sipie007]

Wow I remember Grandstand Caveman and played it loads as a kid. Shame someone doesnt do like remakes of those old table top games on the PC.
