My Favourite C64 Coders No.27

Colin Porch

Colin achieved what no one else had done before – port an isometric Spectrum game to the C64 without making it a slow-motion snooze-fest! Head Over Heels is brilliant, as is Operation Wolf and Gryzor/Contra is pretty darn good too.

I'm actually not sure if I ever tried Gryzor on the C64. 🤔 ..It's on my list now. 😋 But I can tell you that, for sure, I did play Platoon, and it was glorious. (Damned hard, but I was a kid with too much time .. I was able to make it to the last level.) 👍

But, if I'd got that compilation, I don't know that I would have given Gryzor more than a few minutes. Just about every other game in that pack was really very good. 👍 I was just trying out Combat School again this week, and I'd forgotten quite how good it was. 😎
