#Twitter or #BlueSky feels like this, in front or behind, I'm just crawling back to the lampost, man. #SuperMarioWorld
Just finished an impromptu #Dragonlance book, after a random convo with some of my Besties. I loves me some Dragonlance, I do. Possibly I'll go on to Kang's Regiment..? Though, Hedrick The High Theocrat arrived yesterday, my only missing paperback from the "Villains" sextet. #AD&D

The Bard's Tale III - Thief of Fate

A game I never played until my 40s, but one I knew of & wondered if I would ever get around to it on the #C64 or even on its big sister. Since then, I have been playing the remastered version and it is cracking. Genius the 2018 remakes. Get involved.

Oooooh, nice shelf! #Retro #Gaming #Books also, #C64 Fans - I can heartily recommend @merman1974.bsky.social's C64 Dreams / Nightmares and @c64audio.bsky.social's Rob Hubbard Master of Magic. In fact - buy all of the books you can see here.

Last Duel

So, another new one on me - think LED Storm and then make it much worse - BINGO! I think this was an #Amiga developed game and then ported "down" to the #C64. I'm not sure which version is worse... It "should" be an okay game and it could have been, but, the lack of speed...

Over a year ago, I had the pleasure of doing this for the delightful Zoe Ball early one Monday morning on #BBCRadio2. These things are not planned! @pacbilly.bsky.social @thejoyofsticks.bsky.social Shall I bother to update this into a "real" version..? #Informer

Ho! I was never really a fan of MotR, I just found it too damn annoyingly difficult, but I always believed the mags to have loved the #C64 games. Turns out not so much..? From 90% for MotR to less than 50% for the follow up. Oh fie! Decent Hubbards mind... 😎

I'd forgotten how much fun this is! @fuzzweed.co.uk doing some genius Shed Tinker Action on the #C64 and #MSX I believe. #SuperMarioBros never sounded so froody. Wait for the bass to drrrrrrrrrrrr-rop!

There is a long anecdote about TC and my mate Tim, that focuses on a mix tape (a real cassette!) back and forth we used to make and post (through the mail!) when I was on my year out after A-Levels and he was in his 1st year of university. The #C64 game is not great. Try it!

It's just a massive guffaw to this feckless Twatbag, isn't it?

Yie Ar Kung-Fu

I was never a fan of this BITD, thinking the jump mechanic was stoopid. However, having just played it for a few goes this morning, it's way better than the #C64 SFII attempt. In fact, don't we now have that cool Capcom vs SNK, or something..? SFII had a remake, or no?

Back to the Future

I knew the #C64 game of BttF III was above average - I am not sure on BttF II and I didn't even know there was a game for the original (and best) movie. Well, Martin Walker, or not, it's friggin' diabolical and the music is also pish for thee! £10 for this? Bogus.

#BluePrince is an exceptionally charming game. I am DEEP hooked again. 😌

That's another crackerjack t-shirt that is. #StarWars #AT-AT #Banksy #Art Obviously a gift, as I only ever buy stuff that makes me look like a 70s geography teacher. Quite rightly.

I never owned this BITD on the #C64, but I recall seeing it, and indeed I just re-read the review in CF1 whilst having a coffee in my kitchen. I also just spent 10 minutes playing the game - it is nowhere near as terrible as the Zzap! reviews made out. It was rather fun, actually.

If you are still unaware of the sheer lovliment and brilliance and just more lovliment of Snorkers, then - get involved!

Die Hard

One of the only, if not THE Only #C64 game I have known that at Game Over, it allows you to quit to the "desktop" (BASIC boot screen). This game is turgid, but it does have some nice static graphic scenes. John McClane has been on Big Ron's BIG Pies, clearly. Kinda fun mind.

Atomic Robo Kid

This is really a very good shooter for the #C64 - I never really gave it a chance before, but, with freeform multi-directional scrolling, power ups and a balanaced difficulty, with it's ogrgeous backdrops and fluid play - this is great fun. Often overlooked.

Stay the course, Friends. If we can make it to the end of 2028, we should get back on track!

I mean - come on! The CLASSIC KLAXON is going bananas. Possibly / probably the best #C64 shoot 'em up and one of the best games ever made on the computer, for me. Fo' Sho'. I am waiting for @fuzzweed.co.uk to come over and play 2-Ply with me. Updated version soon..?

Morning. I mean, even the inherently optimistic of us are scanning the news with some trepidation, right? Barking mad. Knock it off.

Altered Beast

The #C64 conversion of AB is slow as hell, boring, blocky and just a bag of shite. This loading image and another AB logo image I couldn't seem to find IRL, is the best thing about the game. It really is rubbish. Mags reviewed it at 75% or thereabouts. Nope.

I played / streamed this last night and was blown away by the voice acting, mid-70s interiors (and oil rig exteriors) and general pace and narrative of the game as a whole. Also: utterly terrifying. I got about halfway, maybe less, but had some Twonk in the Live Chat spoilering. [VID BELOW]
