Commodore 64 Introductory Audio Tape (1990)

[Steggman]

C64 had 3D tech? why didnt i know about this before?

[EvilDogMedia]

They should package this with modern PCs, but with all the old specs and shit dubbed with modern stuff in a really obviously different voice. :)

Any chance you could upload the B-side?

FUCKEN HELLLLL ive no heard this in years

How do you configure the keys to play games? I can't figure it out.

[OnlyGoodCommie]

@Luigi84289 That question's not altogether clear. If you mean assigning keys to act as Left, Right, Up, Down or Fire then these will have already been assigned. The software's instructions or game screen will let you know.

If you mean asking the computer to load a game then the video tells you how to load a tape. For disk, type LOAD "*",8,1,1 (or just LOAD "*",8 ).

@Luigi84289 Get a joystick. If you're in the UK, you can get a Competition Pro 5000 joystick for like $10 dollars. They're awesome. If you're in the US, they're fairly uncommon, but Suncom Tac-2s or Wico Bat Handle type joysticks are also worth getting. Atari 2600 joysticks work too, but there are better alternatives as stated above. Some games use the keyboard, such as text adventures and RPGs, but you really need to get a joystick.

Been looking for this audio for ages - Cheers!

God, the narrator on this tape is really cheesey and patronising, I honestly think this tape should have come out a little earlier during the C64's lifetime.

This is great!!! Thanks for sharing.

[OnlyGoodCommie]

I've put the tape's flip-side up now.

Find it in the MORE FROM ONLYGOODCOMMIE list.

WTF Amiga promos?! You'd feel a little shitty had you just bought yourself a brand spanking new C64 and they lay all this Amiga sh*t on you!

"The Commodore 64 is everything you want it to be - and more!"

It's not the Amiga though, is it? There I was getting into my lovely C64 for the first time and he goes and rains on my parade!

[djsmithy]

Do you know where i can listen to the flip side of this tape by any chance?

I remember it being spooky in parts,

but didnt remember that it was actually amiga music!

[OnlyGoodCommie]

I don't see why I shouldn't put up a copy of the B-side now it's been asked for.

To be honest, I never put it up before because the tape's Amiga music bored me stupid. It just sounded like a bunch of generic arcade music to me.

[djsmithy]

Haha, i was about 4 hearing at the time, so the thing totally scared the shit out of me, and tripped me out!

Never heard any music before like it, didnt love it or anything, just wanted to hear it again for memorys sake.

I meant to post i found it on the c64 site also.

[djsmithy]

OMFG! Thanks a lot for posting this!

This has to be the cheesiest audio tape i ever listened to!

I was only mentioning it in reply to your comment on my platoon video, but made a few typos, deleted my comment, and now cant reply again for some stupid reason!
