My Favourite C64 Platformers No.17

Jet Set Willy

Software Projects 1984

This early free-roaming platformer was also one of the first 64 games I played. Like the Speccy original, it's rather buggy, but good fun. Surreal, amusing, & yet oddly melancholic, it's certainly unique.

My Favourite C64 Platformers No.18

Booga-Boo The Flea

Quicksilva 1984

Another innovative game that involved lots of jumping, BB is a cool little title that I’ve always had a soft spot for as it was one of the first games I played on the C64. Simple but addictive and good fun.

Yeah. I read bits in the C64 addendum booklet that specified things in the manual that the C64 version didn't have. But it was the auto-saves and continual disk-swapping that made me give up on it. Too much loading, not enough game.

But I can play any version of the game now. 😁

My Favourite C64 Platformers No.20

Creatures 1/2 & Mayhem in Monsterland

Let me explain. These are clearly 3 of the 64's best platformers, but I never played them BITD. They’re all amazing, so I couldn’t not mention them, & if I'd had a 64 in the 90s, they’d all be top 5.

I had Ultima VI too. But disappointed with the C64 version. The instructions mentioned things that had been cut-out of the C64 port. In game there's no music, or even sound. The interface was slow. *So* much loading. And only one disk-drive supported, so lots of disk swapping 😐

Not to mention the other many cool retro games he's made. Monsters of Terror is still one of my favourites. A port of Wizard of Wor, with AGA graphics, and up to four human and/or CPU players. (And digitised C64 sound effects, for that extra retro feel.) 😎

It does.
Tricky to get the two player screenshots. (NZ is such a low population country, I found it difficult to find another human to join-in.) 😉 But my ambidextrous control of two sheriff's went quite well.

It even has a high-score table, which I don't think the C64 one had.

My favourite C64 Shoot ‘em ups – No.2

Wizball

Ocean 1987

Sensible blew the competition out of the water with this incredible mix of bouncing, blasting & co-op colouring in. Original, humorous, psychedelic & graphically & sonically brilliant, it’s a unique gaming experience.
