C64 Longplay - Monty On The Run

[Halligen1972]

"I want to cheat" - yessum boss ! ;)

[PURES3X]

Were the coins purely for extra score? or were they necessary ?

[ArturokArk]

Awesome music ♪

[Yobotistan]

I am watching this in awe -- I played many of these games first time round and I thought they were impossible. Thanks.

[MrSamboJambo]

Whether u believe it or not, my dad wrote this game on the C64. Trust me, i aint kidding.

[lowpinglag]

@MrSamboJambo cool your dad worked at Gremlin Graphics back in the day!

[MrSamboJambo]

@lowpinglag That sir, is correct

[NintendoFan913]

iwbtg FTW

[DhiscoStu]

So many nightmares :(

[uranusviol8or]

it's amazing how this game was top notch when it was released back in the days, like Battlefield 3 right now

[MrWrecche]

@uranusviol8or oh man, there is 1 difference. back then you had no internet, these things were fun to play. not like now, where theyre half fun without net. Plus youd play the game then on your own, hack it, rip the music out, images, etc.. make a demo and feel good man. today, nah. none of that.. its all gone. THOSE were the days, now its boring.

LOL ENDS WITH GAME OVER

[dragonskulle]

[JMMREVIEW]

[TheVeyron81]

[Nautilus1972]

@TheVeyron81 C64 emulator - download it plus the 3000 games and play them on your PC.... kids are so lucky these days.

[lamppostclimber]

Monty is missing his right eye.

[TheAzureNightmare]

GAME OVER... Don't worry though, you WON. 8D

[0BusterLuke]

The music is hysterical! Especially those Simmons type drum hits (at around 4:43)

[1manfactory]

FANTASTIC music....

[libertydenied]

I feel ashamed as I only know this music from "I Wanna Be The Guy"

[commodore64fan]

but can ya blame me the music is just too good!

[commodore64fan]

funny i had this game as a kid and never once played it i only listened to the music XD

[adeprice3]

hours and hours i played this game when i was about 5 or 6. brilliant repeating soundtrack.. i remember my mom shouting...TURN THAT TV DOWN.. ITS THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. LOL

[ClawMaster0]

Anyone else remember the "I want to cheat" code for this game?

[emilyalex13]

@ClawMaster0 LOL!!! that was the only way, I ever got to see the whole game!! I don't think I ever managed to get past the bit where he flies, by playing normally!! :)

[mike649fox]

@ClawMaster0 hahaha god yeah, but only because you have just reminded me! There's noway I would have thought of that on my own. Very good memory.

[wandererlain]

@ClawMaster0 I've just made a video using that cheat, and with a jazzy remix.

[emilyalex13]

WOW!!! You are amazing player!!

[weavehole]

Used to love the C5 part but it was over so quickly.

[SuperFarinelli]

kret easyjet

[serpico89]

can someone tell me how this theme was possible with this system? and why didn't more 8-bit games have great intricate tunes like this?? -___-

[hyphz]

@serpico89 SID! Commodore was one of the few companies that actually designed their own chips, and the C64 contained a custom graphics chip and a custom sound chip. The custom graphics chip (VIC2) was unremarkable but the sound chip (SID) became the stuff of legends. It was the most powerful sound generator anyone had ever seen on a home computer at the time. People are still smashing up C64s to pull the SIDs off the motherboard and build them into synthesizers!

[Tiukuttaja]

1 Angry coffee cup couldn't catch Monty

[lawfrosty]

Pro! I remember having to figure out so many of those moves, when i saw you jumping repeatedly at the start and making those jumps work, I knew you were a player :D

I came to hear the music, didn't expect the great show ++

[linklodz1]

great !!!!

[DjRdoubleM]

Your the BEST!

[magnificent666]

The music alone makes this one of the greatest C64 games.

[peepeevagi]

You gotta wonder what poor monty did to be forced to run!

[acidgecko72]

Rob Hubbard!! TOP MAN!!!

[vandal2k6]

@acidgecko72 THE TOP MAN! HE'S A GOD AMONG MEN.

[MrWrecche]

@acidgecko72 I ripped his music so hard back in the day, demos.. HE was the king :) Awesome someone else remembers the guy!!!!!!

[Sceledro]

=0 VERY HARD

[Galimah]

At first i dident like this game. To ebscure and weird. The rules were not clear and i just ranned around and picked up 5 centers. I dident even know that i needed to pick right stuff for the freedom kit as they are essential to complete the game. Now i LOVE it.

[ThisIsACoolGuy]

@Galimah God damn I hope you learn to love english classes because you need them more then any video game on earth.

[Galimah]

@ThisIsACoolGuy Does it that obvious that english is not my main language?

[Realmasterorder]

One of the best platforms of all time !

The Music theme was the biggest ever done in a game up to that point !!!

Thanks for bringing it up.

[Geffersan]

You're good, this game is brick hard!

[Obbarn]

Is this a reupload? Haven't you already played thought this game? Oh well Doesn't matter to me since i love it. Played it when i was a small kid :)

[dogcatmouse23]

This game looks like it sucks but the music is ok

[shallowman]

@dogcatmouse23 Sucks?! How many C64 games have you seen or played? Most of them were very glitchy and not very well programmed. But this one is probably of the the best designed games on C64. Gameplay-wise, it's very simplistic, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. :)

[DanielMarcFisher]

What a tune! i prefered Auf Wiedersehen monty though but could never get that far.

[kookoon]

This game looks nice. Didn't had the luck to play this game in my childhood, I have played captured which looks similar but I think it had worse controls than this.

[Ducksel]

A piece of my childhood. :)

I'd love to hear a rock version of the theme music...

[gfbodomi]

@Ducksel

Well, you're in luck.

Press Play on Tape did a cover of this.

[Jamiethewookie]

Loved this game. The music is still great to this day :D
