Way Of The Expoding Fist on Acorn Electron 8 bit vintage home computer.

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Gameplay from Way Of The Exploding Fist, by Melbourne House, on the Acorn Electron 8 bit vintage home computer. Retro Gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.
It's also here so that I can embed it, along with most of the games in my collection, on my website (see link above).

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

The interference is in time to the music!

[SteveBenway]

Yes, the audio signal interferes with the video signal, probably in the modulator.

The result is kinda like a 70s disco.

"Everybody was kung-fu fightiiiiiing!"

Any chance of seeing some of these games on other platforms other than the Electron? I would love to see how different versions look.

[SteveBenway]

If I have them, they'll show up on here eventually, but a lot of these Electron games are exclusive to the Electron.

I do tend to stick with a system till I've done all the games on it though, just because it save a lot of messing around with setting up and suchlike.

Although on the original Spectrum, the beeper hogged entire CPU cycles meaning everything on screen would momentarily freeze every time a sound was made. On the other hand, some old Spectrum games like Trap Door, Aliens and Return Of The Jedi had a few clever programming tricks that gave the illusion of multi-channel audio which sounded great in the title music - Especially Aliens!

[Foebane72]

With one channel sound, I'd say the Electron wasn't much better than the original Spectrum - and I mean the buzzer.

Reminds me of the days when BBC cameras didn't like machine gun fire, cos they'd do the same thing.

Even your dog was getting fed up with the music! :)

Now this is a good fighter. One off the best £2:99 games I had on my C64. Ah the good old days :)

Now Fist was a good game.
