Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells on the Commodore 64
Loading...
Uploaded by tomconte on Aug 11, 2008
This is a 5-minute excerpt of the re-arrangement of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells for the Commodore 64, published by CRL in 1986. It has been nominated among the "Top Ten Rubbish Video Games That Feature Musicians".
Captured from a real C64.
I will try to upload the complete video somewhere (it is too large and long for most video sharing sites).
Warning: this will make your head hurt! Especially if you like Mike Oldfield. Go listen to a vinyl version of Tubular Bells or Hergest Ridge afterwards!

25 years ago, this was major computer creation! Must say this does hurt my head, but it still amazes me what some people could do with a 1 mhz processor and 64 KILObytes of memory!

Wow. This is, in essence, an early screensaver. But I think you had to pay CRL a tenner for it at the time.
The music reproduction is total guff considering what the C64 was capable of.

@tomconte Every C64 has a button on mainboard, which changes NTSC mode into PAL/SECAM.

Anyone know where I can find this on an image file to run on an emulator?
THANKS!!!!

OMG! This is a personal "computer historical event" for me. It was 3 in the morning and I had be up on the BBS's when I found and ran this program. My jaw dropped. I was stunned at what I was seeing on the screen - no joke - for this was INCREDIBLE graphics for the time. I disconnected the 64 from my B&W tv and ran downstairs to connect it to the color TV in the family room. There I sat, at 3 AM, watching and listening to this, and couldn't wait to play for others the next day. Thanks for this!

Was this played on an American C64?

Yes, you are right, it was an NTSC machine. The tempo is too fast. But it was the only one I had with a decent SID chip :-) Now I have a PAL C64 with an R2 SID, I will try to post an update to the video so the tempo is correct!
