My Favourite C64 Software Houses No.48
Domark
Domark released lots of games in the 80s for most 8-bit computers. While some are awful (Hard Drivin’ I’m looking at you), A.P.B and Trivial Pursuit are very good, and Split Personalities is superb - one of my favourite C64 titles.
My Favourite C64 Software Houses No.49
English Software
Initially focusing on Atari games, English branched out in the mid-80s, releasing the cool & quirky platformers Jet Boot Jack & Henry’s House for the 64. My fave game of theirs is the medieval bash ‘em up Knight Games.
Watch out C64 fans! Did you know that you can also create your own Maniac Mansion Mania episodes as C64 episodes with this AGS starter pack?

@american80s There's a part of me that wishes the creators had gone "Nah! Screw this! The C64 version was best!" And just put a C64 in the arcade cabinet. 😁

@C64Chronicles @zappedtothe One of the best games on the C64, without a doubt. 👍
It took some practice to get good enough at the platform game side of it, so you still had time to assemble the punch-cards at the end. 🤓

@JohnHen65953721 @zxmutant64 It's a lovely package... the box art was by Vanja Utne (aka Mermaid), who also makes C64/Amiga/Amstrad art etc. This one is one of my favourite C64 pics of hers, called 'Test Flight'. Also made the lovely Grok and Grok books...
@Retro_CAD @barry_barcrest @zappedtothe Yeah, the jousting was always hard. I only ever got far with Jousting on the C64, where the joystick controls allowed me to position the lance in the right place most times. The timing was still a bugger. And it helped to have the guy strong in jousting. ..But you didn't need it.
@zappedtothe Ah, now I've heard a little more of the @zappedtothe podcast for this week, maybe I should have started with these Defender of the Crown screenshots..
😉
You were spot on with the Amiga version being rushed to market. The C64 version is much more complete. (And the ST one.) 😋
