Man. Cops and Robbers raises so many questions.
That airplane game actually looked pretty nice. It's a pity they didn't run the gun sound effect over the drums instead of over the melody.

I love how Herobotix creates an eery atmosphere using mostly sound design and partly graphics.

Ouch. Well, welcome back. IO's graphics remind me a whole lot of Cybernoid II's. As for word processors, if you did have a disk drive and it was 1993 and you were still trying to be productive on a Commodore 64, you almost certainly were using GeoWrite. I think at the time this was my only option for printing stuff with variable-width fonts, or that didn't just look like line-printer dumps.

Yeah, as a bit of a darts nerd myself, I never really got into darts video games for that very reason - they're all so bloody boring and samey. "In conclusion: Darts" could probably be the closing line for every review of every darts game ever except maybe the Wii PDC game there was, which might at least be moderately interesting by virtue of motion controls.

Wow, what a miserable selection. IO is so hard it feels like a punishment for still owning the C64 in 1994. I nearly typed "instead of an Amiga" but the reminded that in 1994 Amiga's situation was also becoming pretty dire.

Honestly, this is a a weird point caught between between "market still big enough to make it worthwhile enticing readers with good old games" and "market completely gone, we have no money, so we have to resort to interestingly weird homebrew stuff". Issue 41 is a total write-off that I'll skip (two games, both crap, that's it).

Oh, man, Deliverance: Stormlord II. I played the demo of the Macintosh remake of that a ton as a kid (which was simply called Deliverance), as it was one of the better ones on the giant CD of demos I had. And boy, looking at the original they were pretty much nothing alike (they even changed the plot for the remake).

Would you list what demos were on the tape that you ordered from that PD place? I wonder which demos were deemed worthy in the mid 90's. Oh, I just remembered that Dutch Breeze begins with the Robocop 3 tune! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiQrUDIah4E laserghost fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Nov 6, 2016 |

Dutch Breeze was the only one I remembered, but after checking my scans and Googling "that C64 demo with the MC Hammer sample" it appears to have been a tape that also contained Legoland Brutality Wonderland VIII (NSFW, feat. special guest star MC Hammer) While we're at it, Bonus Trump

I wonder if you would sit down with all those programming tips and hack them together, would you end up with something relatively playable, because 20 years ago I'd kill for such programming help. That 8-way scroller looks really nifty.

Speaking of a music feature, those fondly remembering C64 songs might be interested to know that there's a C64 Orchestra that exists and they made a fun album that's entirely on youtube. Check this classic out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCMZJgK_6s8

Oh man, Repton. I remember someone doing a full (or almost full) LP of all of the Repton games years and years ago. He even made a cool little remix of the Repton theme. I wonder if it got archived?

Ahhh, Bonecruncher, one of the more interesting spinoffs of the Boulderdash/Repton formula (Another would be Clogger.) Fun fact about Bonecruncher is that it's technically a top-down world. So the Glooks aren't so much falling in a direction as actively crowding there. A game I wouldn't mind seeing a modern rendition of, tbh, even if the difficulty curve (As I recall it, anyhow) was absolutely silly.

Thanks for a cool thread, dude. I didn't have a C64 growing up so seeing all these games let me get a little taste of what I missed. I eagerly await whatever you plan to do in the future (if you plan on doing anything in the future, anyway).
