Vegas Jackpot on Commodore C16 vintage home computer

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

Gameplay from Vegas Jackpot playing on the Commodore C16 8 bit vintage home computer. Retro Gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's more a case of me speaking my thoughts while playing the games, many for the first time, and most for the first time in a very long time... so it's all a little spontaneous and random.
Predictably, as I never practice before recording, I usually play very badly.

Given that I am playing many of these games for the first time, and everything I say is completely off the cuff, you probably shouldn't take what I say overly seriously. The opinions that I express are my feelings at the time, but it's entirely possible that they would be different if I were to take the time to get to grips with the game.

However, given that these videos are intended to show that "first time experience", I believe they have some validity or merit.

I remember my father buying me a c64 bullnose in i think 1984 and i was addictied to siren city and splat also this version on the c64...i was only seven years old at the time and the memories will never go...Games today are just not the same...Yes the graphics are some what real but the game playability is just not the same as it used to be all them years ago as the simplicity has gone...By the way steve..your vids are not boring but brilliant..Best regards

@azshaw123 I agree entirely that modern games aren't the same... though that's not always a bad thing. Simplicity and complexity both have their places. I like the simple stuff on handhelds... like the only stuff I play on the move is retro arcade conversion on my GBA SP.

When I'm at home though, I like something with a bit more to get into.

I'm glad you're enjoying my vids, and relieved that they aren't boring. I can't tell, with my own work :)

I remember buying Fruit Machine Simulator by Codemasters on my ZX Spectrum + back in '87. Being Code Masters back then it was only £1.99 a budget game at the time. I remember being impressed with the 48k digitized music for the game and it was a pretty decent sim as far as Fruit Machine Sims go I suppose but then their longevity is extremely limited as if you don't win money what is the point of them lol.

@DLiberator78 Ah, where would we have been without £1.99 budget games?

Ah yes.... paying £30 for NES games ;)

Thanks for the upload Steve. I had this game on the C16. It was rubbish, but I enjoyed the trip down memory lane.

[SteveBenway]

@macwhoelse It's like remembering a bad case of gastroenteritis. You remember how utterly terrible it was, which makes you appreciate not having it now :D

I LOVED THIS GAME, BECAUSE IT NEVER GOT MY MONEY TO PLAY. aside from the purchase.

I still own this on my C16. I actually like it. One of the first C16 titles & the graphics weren't bad, not much you can expect from it. The main trick is not to worry about getting a line of fruits as much, make more sure you get 7 points or over for the bonuses. It's a good feeling to win the jackpot as it's quite tricky and more down to luck. This is a game with an end once you reach $250. After that another horrible din plays. Good game. Las Vegas by Anirog is better though. Good retrospect.

[ArcadeMameMachine]

they are fun to play if the game is and that one is just ok, nice gameplay though.

[DdlyHeadshot]

Graphics are pretty good...

No need to apologise, Steve. Videos like these need to be made for things that need to be said.

Such as, why the blazes were games like this EVER made?! There's nothing to achieve what so ever, and hell, nowadays you can play on the internet (with real money, sadly).

Plus this one's piss poor with the whacky programming and sound affects.

@RetroGamerVX I have on on the Electron that I enjoyed a bit back in the day. This one though... it's just tedious and ugly.
