Hello 2econd2tage. Do you ever use emulators? (VICE or CCS64) I am looking for people to play the Commodore 64 online. (& also MAME & other vintage 8-bit consoles/PC's) Let me know if you are interested in trying it. BTW, I hear a European accent. If you are in Europe, (I am in USA), I have played with people from the UK & Sweden & the game play was/is plenty fast.

Spy vs spy one of the BEST games ever. Now THAT'S a game with replay value. So simple, yet so great, and a good time user.

Why don't they bring back this game?? They SHOULD!!!

[gjc82071]

@thesix107 It was/is 2 player also, right? I am looking so hard to find people to play online, the more "vintage" game consoles/PC's. C64, All the Atari 8-bits (2600, 5200 & PC 400/800), Intellivision, & NES (also SNES & Sega Genesis. Would you be interested in trying any of those, especially the C64, online?

[HardWarUK]

Gotta love your attitude in these vids and you are obviously a big big C64 fan! More please - even if you have to move on to DOS gaming!!!

Summer games! I loved that game! I even had the second one!

[martinnitus]

Woops! I didn't even notice this part 2 up. Sorry. Very cool video, I actually remember Spy Vs. Spy; had the re-release for the Gameboy Pocket. Boulder Dash is one I haven't heard of and it looks very similar to Dig Dug for the NES... Hmmm I thought Dig Dug was an original concept:( Awk well...

Awesome job on winning the Olympics ;) Score one for Germany! Great video, yet again.

Can't wait for part 3 *****

[2econd2tage]

No Problem^^

Yeah, Dig Dug was before Boulder Dash, but it added some more strategy into playing.

Playing Summer Games is always fun. Especially with a friend.

what a great idea for video game reviews; do it by year, I'm very tempted to do an Amiga version ( if only I could get the emulator up and running)

[2econd2tage]

Yeah, I also tried to do it for some time ago and had experienced the same probleme.

I don´t know, if it is available in the UK, but here in Germany they released a CD with a whole bunch of Amiga Games on it. Maybe it is possible to record the footage of it with CamStudio or something else. Try to search for the CD on amazon or ebay. Maybe you´re lucky!

But it would be very cool, to see some reviews of Amigagames from you.

Until then!

What's the name of the song from 9:12 - 9:32?

[2econd2tage]

It´s from Frank Bruno´s Boxing (the title theme).

Congratulations, mate. =)

[2econd2tage]

Danke, Bloody! Aber um ehrlich zu sein lege ich auf diese Platzierungen keinen großen Wert. Solange die Leute die Sachen, die ich mache, mögen, ist mir das mehr Wert, als in der Top Ten der meist besprochenen Personen auf YT oder so zu sein.

[Highretrogameblood89]

Das ist sehr ehrenhaft von dir =)

Cool video. The training segment was funny. If you want to cover more 1984 games I suppose you could make another part before moving onto the next year.

My uncle had Spy vs Spy on the Gameboy and a big collection on the Amstrad which included Summer/Winter games. To this day it's one of the few Olympic video games I enjoy.

[2econd2tage]

Thank you! I also thought a lot about making a 2nd Part to 1984. In the original cut of this vid I actually wanted to feature titles like Jet Set Willy and Space Taxi. I think, I will try to upload an 2nd Part to the vid this week. Stay tuned!

Summer Games killed at least 3 of my Competition Pro sticks!

[2econd2tage]

Jajaja, die guten alten Competition Pro Joysticks. Das war noch Qualität alter Schule. Nur die wichtigsten Funktionen, sogar linkshänder wurden berücksichtigt. Keine unnötigen Gimmicks wie Turbo Fire o.ä.!

Vor kurzem ist doch mal eine Nachkonstruktion erschienen - mit (ich glaub) über 20 Spielen für den C64, denn man mit der Glotze verbinden und dann zocken kann.

[exo0O]

Den gibt es mitlerweile auch mit USB-Anschluß für den PC. Allerdings dann ohne Spiele. Quasi der alte CP mit neuem Kabel.^^

[Superlink911]

YEEEESSSS SUMMER GAMES oh man me and my Brother had a great time playing this game please if you do another part of C64 Reviews show Winter Games

Great Vid 6/5

[Highretrogameblood89]

YAY!!! Thank you a lot! 5\5
