Someone told me that the water shooting gun on force 7 was used to kill an alien boss of some kind that was only hurt with the water gun. Apparently there was different versions made, and the one I downloaded was the one that wasn't completed so there is no way to beat the game. I don't know if that is true but it would explain why I wasted hours shooting water and trying to weld all over the different levels after I killed all the monsters. I'll try to look up more about that.
I think Force 7 music was the freakiest...total "Alien"-like atmosphere. So maybe best music depends on what type of music. Comic Bakery was great, and the Human Race theme was terrific.
Yeah how do you beat force 7? I killed everyone and rescued all the captives but is there even an end? And what the heck is the water firing guy for? I only played it on an emulator so I didn't have a booklet or anything with it. Also I suggest playing barbarian, and of course zac mckracken. Zac Mcrkacken I played as a young kid so I still have the original newspaper came with it. It is one of the few games that I don't want help to finish, great programing and fun! @circular05
@huntingthemidwest I never beat Force 7 either, but I was pretty young last time I tried. The water firing guy is used to kill fire-aliens, I think. I'll have to try barbarian and zac mckracken, sounds fun.
Yeah, the video music I included is a remake of the original. So it's pretty similar...you can find the original SID music file for the game online, too.
I still have this game ^^ I was about 7 years old when I got it and it scared me a bit. I didn't understand what the enemies are supposed to be and I still don't get it xD
Yep, it scared me when I was a kid too. Especially the elephant head. :) As far as the enemies go, I think they're just supposed to be intriguing, and vaguely related to one of the three settings (ancient greece-ish, medieval, futuristic).
How enjoyable to watch. It brings memories of the eighties. My friend had a Commodore computer. I had Atari. We would spend whole nights playing River Ride or Draconus. Those were the days!
I've never heard anybody talk about the game before, so I think it's either rare or wasn't distributed in the U.S., where I'm from. It's definitely worth a play...
very nice relaxing version.

When you collect these puzzles, you get the "head" for the boss. Am i right, that these "heads" were from the producer from the game?

Great game but too hard...
The game was top... The second best game soundtrack for C64... I still think the best was the music for "Lightforce"...

That's more or less the ingame music. Don't know if it's a remake by the poster him / herself, but that's more or less it.

I had never heard of either one of those games. Draconus looks pretty neat. :)

I played a lot of C64 games back in the day, but I don't recall playing this one, but it looks cool
