C64 Longplay - The Last V8 (HQ)

[FrozenFlorida]

Longplay = 3:36, LOL!

I had the shorter version of this that started in the country side. I could never get through the city. It was impossible to tell where the radiation was without actually hitting it, and then it is kind of too late. And I never did figure out where to go. The controls were so terrible, I crashed all the time. And that view, more than half the screen taken with the instruments and that banner with that little sliver to actually see where you are going.

Awesome music :)

Christ what an amazingly short game! Very frustrating to play but addictive at the same time and what awesome music!! I could never get to the end of the second part which turns out is the end of the game! lol

[Exitof99]

Wow, I'm glad I never bought this game, it is not much of a game after all! I had a hacked copy and it started on the green grassy part which I never could get past because the controls were so bad.

I got to this because apparently Ford Falcon cars were called the Last V8. The 1973/4 models were used in Mad Max.

Were the Heck is V8, Return to Base. Imedaitly! Guy in this Version, His voice is better.

[Knowles87]

Didn't the Commodore 128 version have 3 levels?

Just a thought.

[newforestroadwarrior]

@Knowles87 This is the C128 version, where there was an additional level to pick up nuclear fuel rods on Mars.

[conradhw]

where'd that first level (& speech) come from?

[Sclemtak]

Very good video. Loved and hated this game all at the same time. Very strange version indeed. Is it homebrew?.

[DerSchmu]

@Sclemtak

No, it was on official low budget-release.

[Sclemtak]

I had no idea! The very start of this version reminded me of (Red Max).

I had no idea the game was that short! I never made it to the science base - I'd just assumed that there were a few more levels after that.

Thanks for sharing. :)

[bobbybanjo]

One of the shortest, but also damn hardest games on the C64.. EVER...

[laffer35]

Video description says -

"Longplay from the C64 game "Law Of The West".

[DerSchmu]

Whops! Thanks. :)

[joakimwilliam]

@DerSchmu Isn't this the Commodore 128 version?

[DerSchmu]

@joakimwilliam

Yes ist is. But the only difference between the versions is the additional level.

So I thought it was okay to take this version for an longplay.

[zawtowers]

@DerSchmu - not quite! The speech is different as well between both versions as well. Mind you, the music still bugs the same even in this one!

[embit]

Great music, annoying sound fx.. I also remember only driving through the countryside

[scythianus]

What kind of extended super plus edition is this? Mine only had the road+base driving,and not as much speech.

[Sclemtak]

@scythianus I absolutely agree. This version has very strange speech and a start level that looks like it`s from Red Max.
