C64 Sprite/Tile Capabilities

[kookoon]

I had a c64 as a kid and haven't played any of these cool games beside turrican.

I feel sad now.

That is actually impressive stuff

La C64 fué una maquina espectacular, lo mejor llegó cuando apareció la multicarga con la disquetera, y cada parte usaba los 64k disponible. Saludos.

Awesome machine...I had one and made me very happy :) the best of C64 came when multiload appeared and each part used all the 64k available.

the name of the first game? please

c64 was a better use of 8bit than the amiga was of 16bit

(when judged as a Games machine, of course the amiga was much more versatile than sprites/tiles)

@walter0bz

Compare the C64 with the PC-Engine, and you'll see how ridiculous this statement is.

[jtopland]

indeed the c64 has some sprite power!!

impressive stuff for an 8 bit computer. Commodore always did pack some impressive stuff in their machines. Too bad the C64/128, Amiga, and commodore are long gone.

good video, great technical demonstration.

Poor choice of music - can you put some C64 music on there to match that technical achievement ?

[jesusarnold]

Yeah, I actually kinda' made this video as a comeback to link to on forum's whenever someone said the C64 was bad with sprites, I guess as a video on Youtube it seems a bit random LOL

[marcusmalone]

I would've loved the Spectrum or Amstrad try shit like that!

[shmupstick]

This is the best c64 video here. :)

What game is that with the large monster coming from the ground?

[jesusarnold]

I've just wrote a list of the games, the one you was asking about was Catalypse.

Thanks! DL:ed it now. But, sadly, I think my son broke my MMC Replay earlier today... :(

The C64 can do some pretty cool stuff with the right programming behind it.
