[THESKULL1979]

rambos face looks more like michael jackson just before he drop dead.

[THESKULL1979]

FUCKINHELL I WAS 12 YEARS OLD WHEN IT STARTED LOADING IM NOW OFF TO DRAW OUT MY PENSION ON MY FUCKIN MOBILITY SCOOTER.

[TheHasanMurat]

Get sufficient amount of bodybags. Rambo is coming after you, Ivan!!!

[MotleyKeith]

It makes me almost shed a tear! lol ...fantastic days, amazing memories. Wish i could go back :)

[76MKIIDub16V]

Never sold my C64 ,still got it with all the good games !! I think i will never forget my childhood ,everything was so cool !!

[1787dude]

rambo looks cooler in 8 bit

[jpwolf1701]

The legendary C64 was a superb computer, I loved it playing music when games loaded instead of the annoying screeching and squaking of the Sinclair Spectrum. Games took time to load instead of the near instant loading times of the consoles of today and we couldn't save our progress in the game, we just had to start from the beginning :) I miss the good old days :)

[silkystreebzz]

wow. I had this game growing up....my mother made me give it to our next door neighbor cause it was "Too violent" sad sad sad.

[Audiosonicity]

Goosebumps !! Thank you for this :-D

[edzzzwin]

These kind of soundtracks made the long lasting loading-period a impressive and memorable experience.

[madmomentsgo]

music while loading the game in, this is what i liked about the c64 for.

[beronk]

then ikary warriors lots off hours i played in my c64 miss the day now i have ps3 but i remember having more fun playing games in the c64 and the amiga500 still have them both with almost all the games

im 33

[beronk]

my first game was tiger road remember guys?

[kardobondy]

Love, love loooovvveeee it ! Anything else to say?

[canttelthetime]

i was 22 in 1984 when i bought my commodore 64 breadbin shape, in 1987 i bought the new shape c64, but i thought the sound wasnt as good as the old shape 64, so i took it back to the shop and got a refund and went back to my breadbin 64. im 48 now and still have my old 64. i still load up my old tape games once in a while just to hear the music. even my 10 year old daughter loves the c64.

[pastorrtom]

I fucking love this song!<3

Made me dance in my boxer just after waking up when surfing the net!

[akutabi]

Was the loader music used in other games too? I seem to remember it being on a different game or 2 but as I don't have my c64 anymore i can't check lol

[einokeino303]

@akutabi I read the first game to use this track was Target Renegade. Then followed Robocop and Typhoon. Might be more Imagine / Ocean games, but I can't think of any atm. OL4 was switched to OL5 rather fast.

[akutabi]

@einokeino303 Thanks for the info, if memory serves me correctly I think it was on New Zealand Story too but I could be wrong.

[einokeino303]

@akutabi I also remembered NZS used OL4, but I completed that one few months ago and noticed it was OL5 after all. Check out my longplay video if you like. There's no difference between OL4 and OL5 anyways except for the short intro.

[akutabi]

@einokeino303 Ah that'll be it then :) I'll check out that vid. Thanks

[edzzzwin]

Rambo 2, Great Escape and Platoon. If I remember correctly. I think more games as well.

[viciouswhips]

@akutabi

the ocean loader music was on a few of the ocean published games. it's a very nostalgic track now, i haven't heard it since i was a pre-teen and totally forgot all about it until now ... wow music never leaves the brain it becomes hard coded, hidden in the brain but never deleted, justs waits to be activated again.

yet when i go shopping i always forget something.

[icemanxtreme1981]

@akutabi

Yes it has it was used on quite a few games like robocop, batman and many more

[megast2]

at the time I cursed my poor ass for not being able to buy a 1541, but now I'm eternally grateful for the experience of waiting for a game to load while watching and listening to the loaders. The slowly printing graphics and the wonderful music combined with huge anticipation for the game = super excitement and eternal memories!

[Davejimjr]

any 1 know wer to get this in mp3 format?

[jesuszafra]

Im 34 and still have my c64, I still live like the younger days too ;) I enjoy playing 8 bit games even more than modern games, sometimes.

[Ironlord2015]

@jesuszafra Exactly the same for me dude. I'm also 34, & have a fantastic retro collection of awesome machines/games, which all started for me on the good old C64, of which I now own 3 lol, not counting my C64 GS. I own modern consoles, but they just don't cut it like the good old days on C64. SID music alone is enough to keep me glued to it forever. The scene demos STILL being made on C64 are absolutely ASTOUNDING. Check out the 64 version of the classic Amiga demo Desert Dream..mind blowing.

[jesuszafra]

@Ironlord2015 nice to meet a c64 friend :P

[Lgo900]

Oh man, this brings back memories. Oh, the tape loader that you had to adjust with a screwdriver to get the damn thing tuned correctly, and the games that never even loaded even if you paid for them. The games also that loaded for like 15 minutes were kinda ridiculous, but there I waited patiently for them to load and watched the tranceful loading musics. Such nice memories :) This was also one of my favorites, althought the game was kinda crappy, but the loading was worth it :D

[EvilKris]

used to get all excited hearing this tune coming up 'Ah..my new game's loading'..bag of pic&n&mix my old dear had bought me from the corner shop on my lap. Golden days.

[AyeOkNowFuckOff]

Im with you guys, im 28 and been there. Loved the intro's and thanks for the post. Hey the C64 team is bringing out a universial unit to take over the market soon huray, check it out.

[jaskogti]

this music talks!

[bargainboymakem1]

ah brought a wee tear to my eyes this one...forgot all about this tune..until the first few beats and it all came flooding back!!! marvellous happy daze! probably a shite game but who cares!?escobari is right about kids would've lost interest half way through the loading screen..god im starting to sound like my old man. i remember when all this were fields etc...

[AbsurdistLover]

"wot a bunch of heroes" ? o_O lol

[djwreckthebuzz]

Oh the memories!! The same load up for Robocop and Total Recal, methinks

[samplesun]

1print"commodore64 rulez"

2goto1

run

[bleedtheman]

Rambo kinda looks like Rick James in this loader, haha!!!

[RedSkyHorizon]

I used to hang my power pack out the window to stop it over heating whilst playing!

If it rained, all the better. :D

[escobari]

kids these days would already have lost intrest on the loader

[OBSysteme]

@escobari How true... but beware, computer multitasking and internet high speed surfing is also affecting grown-ups too.... peple just can't concentrate anymore....

[TheRealDutchOwner]

@escobari, Not me! I'm not one of the stereotypical teens today, born after the C64, but i have one fully operative. And yes, i have programmed with it.

[thedarkdragon735]

@TheRealDutchOwner you're not alone there. same here. i love the music composer for c64

[TheRealDutchOwner]

@thedarkdragon735, Maybe i'm different since my first real game console was a Game Boy Classic.

[thedarkdragon735]

@TheRealDutchOwner my 1st one was Playstation 1 (schp0001 rare version) it was chipped so i could get free games

[blade004]

I can't believe this all ended so damn long ago :( This tune brings it all back plus i also had Rambo III on Cassette :)

Now i am 35 and i cannot go back. Time is a bitch but at least we can say "we were there!!!"

[einokeino303]

It doesn't have to end until we forget :)

...and thanks to everyone for watching.

[idin1976]

@einokeino303

Same here!

Good old days...

[cracktober]

Im 19 and used to play this when I was a kid all the time.. I didnt play nintendo or anything like that, i had my gameboy but that was it. Commodore 64 was the shit

[philipriding]

im 48, and still have my c64, and can still live out my younger days.

[jesuszafra]

@jesuszafra (by the way I eliminated this comments cos they were wrong clipboard stuff ;)

[kardobondy]

@blade004 I still play this great Commodoregames. They´re just awesome. I´m so sad about how the gameindustry just turned. But that´s the way things go.

[DamienNeverwinter]

@blade004 computer games are like everything else now -too much money in em

[blade004]

@DamienNeverwinter So very true :(

[DamienNeverwinter]

@blade004 Money. It's ruined everything these days. Music, sports, movies, life in general

[thedigitalemotion]

@blade004 I know how you feel mate, I (like you) am 35, and I cannot help being transported to the these classic days playing the computer with friends you no longer see, where life had no worries, and we could all look forward to getting home from School to play them, god damm i miss them days so much :( It has a special place in my heart. We had it my friend, we had it!

[blade004]

@thedigitalemotion I "was" 35 and now i am 36 :( damn time is a terrible thing.. ;) but its real nice to meet a like minded individual for whom speaks what i think and was there during that time experiencing it all in a different part of the world at the same time as me :) And oh yes, friends i longer see, no worries with the ONLY thing on your mind being the C64 and all its games :) Next for me came the Amiga which also holds a special place, but "yes" we most certainly had it buddy :)

[MrMegazuki]

@blade004

I'm 35 too and I keep returning trough these vids and threads and a load of emulators :) We are brothers in arms, man !

[viciouswhips]

@MrMegazuki

i dont think we brothers in arms will ever "grow up".

the new generation kids never wait more than 1 to 30 seconds for a game to load in.

we learned patience coz we had to :)

[versloe1234]

@blade004 i hear ya.. the games are obviously better noe.. but i used to love getting the ZZAP mags on saturdays. great times :)

[HMSa77]

@blade004 Im with you. Im 34 and missing these days sooo much.. Oh how i miss those many innocent days without worries, just me, my TAC-2 and C64. Games were hard as hell and almost impossible even to understand, but it was so rewarding when you got far. Now all the games are all graphical whoring with nonsense plot if at all and my mind is filled with worries of job, family and health... :(( *goes building time machine out of DeLorean and travels back to 80´s*

[nicknasty14]

@HMSa77 Glad im not alone here. 39 here, own all the new consoles and old. These are classics! Im with you there man, family, losing loved ones, getting older etc. Time machine is definately on the agenda! Days of having my tamiya frog car, colecovision, nes. What simplier times we lived in. Now, everyone is walking around with cell phones stuck to their heads and is in a frikin race to do everything. We can at least say we were lucky enough to have grown up in a time with great music and games!

[angelodomino]

@blade004

I understand you 100%...i am 40 now...but i am still a child..how come?? dunno...just love computers i think..

[nicknasty14]

@blade004 Its hilarious to see some of these old classics. What fond memories i have walking into a toysrus back then, and seeing a colecovision kiosk on display with all the frikin games advertised. That thing looked looked crazy as a kid. Ended up buying a colecovision and trying to track down the game tarzan. Eventually got the last one at some deserted toysrus. When you had to take the ticket up to the videogame counter. What simple yet amazing days! We can relive them here at least!

[prowokator]

Gotta love all of those loaders Ocean did. Thanks for posting!

[DeckerFI]

That portrait was awesome for a loader pic.
