Homebrew Joystick Wiggles: Blue Star, Commodore Vic 20

[MrStephen182]

Great video as always. I would get a copy but don't have a Vic 20

[TheEPROM9]

Make a sound track CD of the music and play it in the car. Remove the on off switch on the radio and see how many people can be made insane!

"SOUNDS" like fun!

[28steryan]

That music made me do an evil little dance round the house.

[RetroGamerVX]

@28steryan Oh my god, I hope you weren't naked, ooh, the image, arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg­hhhhhhhhhhhh ;o)

[BigDaddyDarth]

You looked a little...shall we say..."green around the gills" this episode. ^_^

[RetroGamerVX]

@BigDaddyDarth Yes, one wasn't feeling quite ones self ;o)

[electricadventures]

You haven't heard worse retro music than that, then you haven't played mine :)

Your hulk needed more gamma rays.

Cool nice seeing what the Vic 20 can do, thanks.

[RetroGamerVX]

@electricadventures Thanks electric, yes, I didn't want to use more gamma rays or I may have turned into the hulk forever :o(

Yes, not so much this, but some people pushed the vic way beyond it's seeming original limits :o)

[bilo01708]

Blimey....using the original Hulk tv show music....now that is retro ! lol

[RetroGamerVX]

@bilo01708 Muhahaha, I'm the king of retro, a retro sensation lololololol ;o)

[TheBladeJunker]

Well the music is short but atmospheric. Looked it up but I still don't know what the player sprite is, a car or a robot? I'm not mocking its retroness I'm just curious about the setting. Cool looking game nonetheless. :)

[Croooow111]

It kind of reminds me of Blaster Master on the NES.

[RetroGamerVX]

@Croooow111 I don't know that game :o( But tonight is drinkies night for me and I have your video queued up for in a bit :o)

[KieranD212]

@RetroGamerVX your missing out, Blaster Master is a quite popular NES game

[Androbbo13]

@RetroGamerVX It's Dom that looks fun

[RetroGamerVX]

@Androbbo13 Thanks Dom, filmed this last week, took 4 hours to edit it!! :o)

[RetroGamerVX]

@Androbbo13 If you type into youtube "commdore Vic20 Commercial", you can see the advert with William Shatner (captain kirk from Star Trek) in :o)

[RetroGamerVX]

@SNESkun Yes, it's a lot of fun, especially trying to do it faster and faster :o) Yes, mainly ebay for vics, although I was very lucky to have this generously donated to me :o)

[Polaventris]

Looks great for a Vic20!

[RetroGamerVX]

@Polaventris Thanks Pol, yes, it's a very fast running game for the vic :o)

[AtsumaKarin]

Lol! Another awesome video from you. I always look forward to seeing what crazy stuff you do at the start of each video! :D

IDK if I'm the only one but when I saw: "homebrew" in the title, I initially thought it would be the game you were designing.

Nevertheless: the game looks alright, the music is quite ominous, for sure, pity it's so painfully short. :(

[RetroGamerVX]

@AtsumaKarin Yes, do love the music, but it never does change lol :o) Thanks, yes, my game will come shortly in teh weeks to come (I have 3 I'm slowly working on).

Yes, I do like to do my crazy stuff :o)

[AtsumaKarin]

@RetroGamerVX you sure do! :D

With only 46 subscribers (as I type) left till you hit 2,000, I'm expecting a huge explosion of insanity for your special! :D

[RetroGamerVX]

@AtsumaKarin Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, I have no plans for a special lol, don't really celebrate sub milestones, it's more about actual views and comments for me :o(

[AtsumaKarin]

@RetroGamerVX ah, I see. Fair enough. You're under no obligation to celebrate it, I was just wondering. :P

[RetroGamerVX]

@AtsumaKarin ...but, you have given me an idea for a unique celebration video :o)

[AtsumaKarin]

@RetroGamerVX nice! Happy to be of service, my friend. :)

[RetroGamerVX]

@AtsumaKarin Lol :o)

[AtsumaKarin]

@RetroGamerVX :) P.S. I offered a bit of technical support (didn't think I'd see the day :P) further down in the comments, not sure whether I read it right and whether you've overlooked it so I thought I'd just give you a reminder. :P

[TheEPROM9]

You never fail to entertain. Love the speeding up which I have recently figured out how to do.

[RetroGamerVX]

@TheEPROM9 Thanks eprom :o) Yes, only problem with vegas is that you have to speed up the video and sound seperatly :o)

[TheEPROM9]

@RetroGamerVX That's what had me scratching my head for a while.

[RetroGamerVX]

@TheEPROM9 Yes, a pain in the ass, and as far as I can see, vegas doesn't speed it up itself so had to use an external editor, which, obviously, uses a different measurement for speeding up!! arrrgh :o(

[AtsumaKarin]

@RetroGamerVX not so...when I looked up how to do it for my Frogger challenge video, I highlighted both video and audio and I think (if I remember) I held shift down and then shortened the length. It was either shift or ctrl but I forget which now.

You know you've done it right when the wave changes shape. :)

[RetroGamerVX]

@AtsumaKarin Dam, I was responding to this when wifey called and forgot all about it lol. Yes, I could not get it to do that, had to change the speed of the sound it'self using audacity :o(

[AtsumaKarin]

@RetroGamerVX really? It's quite simple when you know how, don't know why you couldn't get it to work. Hope you figure it out, though. :)

[Deadbolt420]

Awesome music, very dark, this is the sound I like; nice video, would like to see more vic 20 games; the one's I played were great and this is another one I m going to search for!

[RetroGamerVX]

@Deadbolt420 Yes, you can get this from their website too. I only have one other vic game, vid coming shortly :o)

[Kwpolska]

fi-- no. I'm not an idiot and I'm not gonna say first. Instead, I'd say `last' and nobody would comment. Right?

[RetroGamerVX]

@Kwpolska Well, that's original to say the least :o)
