OGT - Aztec Challenge - C64 Part One

[Bemmu]

I don't think I ever managed to get past the first level of this game. First time I see what happens in the C64 games I used to play is on YouTube.

[SonicBoomC98]

I rememebr playing this game forever. IT's funny I got the game because I had it on Atari..........to my surprise two completely different games

[YanYan108]

I remember watching my cousin play this once, and I wondered "what's the point? The game just kicks you in the teeth over and over."

[uzimonkey]

I was never able to get through this game. But the game combined with that music was downright hypnotic.  Bad game, but I still had fun with it.

If anyone ever wondered why the screen goes flashing when a C64 loads certain games, it is - If I remember correctly - because the games are compressed. the C64 could decompress it inside the RAM, but that would take too long - so the C64 is told to use it's Screen buffer to do that, because that buffer has faster response time. since that buffer is ALWAYS dumped to screen before being purged, you actually see the decompress routine working. Also, absolutely awesome vid! thx!

Wow - HUGE Blast from my past, love this game. Thanks for letting me relive my glory days as a child.

[ciiu]

I loved this game

^^ Cats are evil and they alwyykjjhgamsägapi aewäoh

[StarOnTheWater]

I used to be so good at this! Awesome game even though it's really simple!

[Adropacrich2]

This was always a very tense time especially the first level

Quite ahead of it's time if you were to ask me and much like Forbidden Forest, it has that unique feel other 8bit games couldn't seem to emulate

Similarly great music as Forest and this time it swells magnificently and adds a superb extra layer of tension

Brilliant yet simple game design make this a true stand out classic

It was unlikely overated at the time but i honestly think it's a great example of game art

[michelrpg]

that first level alone was.... well

"So close! SO CLOSE! IM JUM--- SHIT I SHOULD HAVE DUCKED DX!!"

[SlovenskaKlobasa]

neznášam takýchto BUZÍKOV čo komentuju videa

[MNC122703]

any idea where I can pick this game up ? it was a childhood favarate of mine , its not on ebay .... would also like to know where to get a good 64?

[ZillasElite]

i just noticed, for the blocks parts only 3blocks will be on the screen at a time :P

(i could be wrong of course but that's all I've seen so far)

[Fooblestheclown]

Been there done that....still have my C-64 monitor...Commodore was the next step after Atari for me.

[MrDelirious]

Actually, that's a pretty f'in metal riff going through that stair climbing sequence.

[Omniblobbers]

Those rocks look like ice cubes in a way >.>... How they move reminds me of Klax.

[royalsteven]

Daaamn son. That's actually one of the few Commodore 64 games I like. But it's nervewreckin. I can't even get past the first round :(

[tigsterofhades]

i used to play this, its the only game in the world that my mother kicked my arse on lmfao good times ^^

[Jenjursnap]

I miss this game! Used to obsess over it when I was younger.

[remkovdb]

a great game from my childhood (i'm 32 now)

and the hardest part was crossing the river with the phirana's (in the second round)

[redhawk797]

This is what I would have imagined "Custers Revenge" to be like.

[Normal1S]

"borrow a cup of death" Hahahahahah!

[LuamJuice]

tommy the cat....lol....thats a primus song

[APHEX83]

[Xifihas]

What emu are you using for your C64 games?

[Disthron]

Hi man, nice video. I wrote a timer program to help me time how long my video gos for. It plays music when the timer reaches 0. I'd be happy to give it to you if your interested. Looking forward to your next video.

[MercenaryCobra1]

I remember playing this game to death(still do). It's one of those "just one more try" things that just hooks like nothing else. The nastiest level, IMO, is yet to come though...The piranha-filled lake in stage 6(though admittedly, it has the third-funniest death sequence in the game to me...second goes to the pits in stage 3(shwip), and the best is the last stage's bridge drop...or maybe I'm just sadistic).

[Frankomatic]

There's actually a really, kinda cheatingly easy way through the lake due to what I assume is either a genuine glitch or just a programming oversight. I'll be showing it off.

[MercenaryCobra1]

I knew about the "rapid up-down" bit...I didn't at the time, but I recently saw it. No, I didn't use that back then and never have...

[hitheremynameisbingo]

Love your game demos XD

[natewheatshelf]

lol. Little known fact: The pyramid the Aztecs built was actually the first fully functional refrigerator, complete with a giant ice-cube dispenser...apparently.

[musichalloffame]

Nice to see you back. you get the weridest game noone ever heard of..but its cool it expands the horizon of my video game knowledge

[Djclyve]

Poor cat... he just wants love...

[Werewolfy2]

The Friendly Fauna of Mexico!!

[archaeln]

those blocks remind me of an enemy unit in terranigma

a whole lot

[TrueSoreThumb]

They're not transparent... well, maybe 8)

[camra0909]

Those blocks kinda make me dizzy...

[UltraBibendum]

Those are clearly blocks.

[MugenOverlord]

Hey wait, this game was remade! Check out this video for a glimpse of it!

youtube(dot)com / watch ?v=FHnN4R1ly9s

[Xalimdor]

I don't like the remake.. the graphics.. are.. blargh.. I prefer the original. xD

[MugenOverlord]

First game review in a while i've been actually interested in the game (not that I didn't enjoy the others). 5 stars!

[wyldestjoker]

You should play Waxworks...super freaky game full of death like this lol.

[safepel]

I thought the Aztec Challenge was Montazuma's Revenge.

[Shintaka9009]

I'm fresh out of death at the moment, I'm afraid...
