Game *cartridge*?! I'm a Limey, tapes were the way to go back in the day with their half-hour loading times! I know it's probably a bit of a wild request, but I'd love reviews of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC range and the BBC Micro, though whether you'd get any working in the States is probably too much to ask...
Hi Mark, if you have a floppy disc drive and be able to get the game wizball from ocean software than do it! because its one of the best looking and sounding games on this computer. Its a sidescrolling shooter where you steer a wizard and his cat both in ballshape to shoot enemys and collect colourdrops to repaint your world. It sounds strange but it is a hell of a game. :-)
at least your C64 works... I got my uncle's old C64 that I used to play as a kid, and it doesn't work anymore. It turns on, but I just get a black screen. I looked online and apparently it's a fairly common issue and a certain chip has to be replaced... I'll just get another one :(
@OBSysteme : there are also many, many other great game-cartridges from the 'old' days available for the C=64 that deserve to be mentioned, like: Ms. Pac-Man, Frogger, Defender, Tapper, Q*Bert, Gyruss, Kickman, Lode Runner, Choplifter, Oil's Well, Wizard of Wor, Pitstop, Gateway to Apshai, Stix, Miner 2049'er, Centipede, Moon Patrol, Omega Race, Diamond Mine, Gridrunner, AMC, Juice and Solar Fox! (And don't forget the excellent games that Ocean and others put on cartridge in the 90's..)
Check 9v power line in your power supply socket, if lost... just buy other power supply in better condition (square version from C64C/G). Probably your SID chip is quiet because lost source of 9V/12V. If after change still no sound, that means power conversion circuits inside your computer are dead. Good luck!
I know exactly where a lunar lander arcade is, it's in orlando, in the disneyquest area where they have HUGE amounts of arcades. Old and new, games like joust, spyhunter and yes lunar lander! I enjoyed going there (exculding the crowds) and lunar lander was all by itself, right next to donkey kong. :)
just wondering. WHO THE HELL would want to land on jupiter unless their suicidal? you'd just keep falling and falling and falling until you just imploded in on yourself.
Awesome, loved this game back in 91. IF you do more C64 stuff, PLEASE review "In Search of the Most Amazing Thing" and/or "Agent USA to the Rescue". :D
idk hopefully theyll let me but idk how he will video virtualboy games! he would have to stick the camera right up to the lens and i dont think that will work really well. he would have to do some crazy mod kinda like what he did to his genesis
The AVGN put he camera up into the lens and it looked okay.
Also, the Genesis S-Video mod isn't that crazy, it's one of the more common mods I see on forums. Unless you mean crazy as in cool, then yes, it is crazy.
finally some C64 game review! My father kept C64 for ages in a locker to show me the amazing gaming platform in 1990. This was great experience for me. In early 90s there were companies that were still making C64 joysticks and he bought an expensive one that after 20 years still works! The old hardware deserves a lot of respect!
There's a Lunar Lander arcade lookalike at the Huntsville Space Museum-- or at least it was there when I was a kid.
If you ever get to go there, DO, you won't be disappointed. Fun stuff! I went there in 19...81? Maybe 85. A long time ago that I can't remember when exactly. I was WOW'd.
not sure where you are, but there's a lunar lander arcade machine in chicago at the museum of science and industry in the space exhibit... and the best part... it's free to play! so if you are in chicago check it out
u r really lucky you found a free comadore 64. And i have a question for any1 who wants to answer: is $35 for an Atari Pinball console type thing (built in games) from 1977 good?
nice off u 2 review finaly sum old nice computer like the c64 i when i was young did have one and the loadin time did kill me. but i rember i have trouble whit the color on the tv back then doe it was a comp no console (so uknow) .. old school tv u know doe i want or i request u 2 rew the game i did never finish but i loved most off all is the c64 Fist II ... if u review this game whit sound i love u ... if u talk bad about it i kill u ... try 2 beat it ../ fan off your review
I didn't have any cartridge games on my C64, just floppy disc games. Actually, I didn't know there were cartridge games.
The pressure on Jupiter would crush that capsule like a fat lady sitting on a soda can... no, three fat ladies sitting on top of each other, with the soda can at the bottom. And then the ammonia icy wind wind would shear everything off.
kinda, but i think it is more like his symbol. when there used to be another person with him he had the squirrel as his emblem. but that was back in the 1990s or so
Had this on vic 20
