Props to Dragon Ninja and Combat School for being very good arcade conversions. Also Star Wars, which was better than it deserved to be, considering how unsuited the C64 was to doing it. Rambo: First Blood Part II was one I'd load to listen to the excellent Galway music. 😋

My favourite C64 Arcade Conversions – No.2

Hyper Sports

Imagine 1985

A fabulous conversion of the Track & Field sequel, Hyper Sports captures the original game perfectly. Brilliant gameplay, ace graphics & an amazing Galway soundtrack. An Olympic-Gold standard game in 1 load!

Technically quite a good game..
Puzzling, because it has a Galway soundtrack that I don't like at all. (Was he copying the arcade jingles?)
Good use of sprites in the border.. and hard in a the usual 8-bit way: you can get far, but you have to practice for weeks to do it. 🤓
