My Favourite C64 Coders No.28
Andrew Spencer
If, like me, you played International Soccer to death as a kid, Andrew Spencer will be a name you’re very familiar with. Andrew’s other great games include the brilliant International Basketball and Street Sports Basketball.
@retroarcadian I like the 16 bit Buggy Boy games.
It was a bit slower than the C64 version I'd grown accustomed to, but those big hand-pixelled sprites were really nicely done.
@dantootill @theretrobyte After almost always losing the joust all these years on the C64 + Amiga, easy jousting sounds like a plus. 🤣 I found Nostalgia's https://t.co/jmfSz4elBu releases (disk, tapecart(!), and easyflash (Cinemaware Collection)), which have so many trainers. Even winable joust. Yay! 😁

Something I made in https://t.co/6nIRBGeMA4. Zero's Helmet from Megaman.
Let's refresh our Monday morning with some beautiful and exquisite Italian pirated loader art.
Bonus pizza points for anyone who can guess at least one C64 game out of those four (good luck on that). https://t.co/M9IhFP1yQO
Exodus was an ambitious war game, described as a mix of Elite, Civilization and Traveler. Due for release on Amiga and C64, developer Paul Clansey provided GTW with disks of the C64 edition to preserve, revealing also why it never saw the light of day.

@theretrobyte I love the C64 version of Defender of the Crown.
It's still my favourite one. (Especially with disk-swapping and loading times eliminated on the Easyflash and tape-cart releases on https://t.co/jmfSz4elBu.) But it is hard. I've only ever completed it once without cheating. 😁

My Favourite C64 Coders No.34
John Darnell
John made a variety of great C64 games. He co-coded Dragon's Lair & Escape From Singe’s Castle for Software Projects & alone made the budget hits Kane/Kane 2 (Mastertronic) as well as Match Day 2 (Ocean) & Star Paws (S.P. again).
My Favourite C64 Coders No.36
Gregg Barnett
Gregg worked on a diverse range of games from The Hobbit and Sherlock to Hungry Horace and Rock N Wrestle. But his finest achievement is one of the greatest C64 games ever made. The magnificent, The Way of the Exploding Fist.

My Fave C64 Coders No.39
Martin Walker
Martin’s first C64 game was 1985's Rupert & the Toymaker’s Party. In 86 he made Chameleon & in 87 came Hunter’s Moon. He then chronicled the making of Citadel in ZZAP’s ‘Walker's Way'. All ace games. So, we can forgive Back to the Future.
@Lord_Arse Oh heck yeah.
I had a VIC, then C64. But at school, one of my friends had an Apple II, and another had a 48k Speccy.. And say what you want about 8-bit rivalries. The Speccy had some excellent games. 👍
@DerPiratee @Lord_Arse All 16 colours on the C64.
It was a late C64 game, so there was really some quite amazing graphics in Defender of the Crown. 👍
