The #C64 A to Z

My Fave ‘A’ Games No.7

Avenger

A superb Gauntlet-style adventure with a neat ninja twist, Avenger has you exploring maze-like fortresses, collecting keys and bumping off baddies on a quest for vengeance. Atmospheric, stylish and addictive, it’s one of Gremlin’s best C64 releases.

Five years ago, my son tried Falcon Patrol on my Commodore 64. (The one my parents bought for me in 1984.)

That was the cool thing about the C64 (and of course other machines) .. is that you could, right out of the box, start doing/creating things ... the first thing I did was type in this LONG program from one of the great magazines that catered to the C64 back then. What a way to learn!

How Rich Do You Want to Be asks Ocean Software in January 1986's Your Sinclair.

And it would have felt by then like anyone and everyone with a microcomputer and learned programming in mid-80s Britain could strike it rich. A tempting prospect to those growing up in declining industrial cities.

A magazine ad for Ocean Software as they start hitting it big and recruiting in-house staff and calling for freelancers to send in their programs on tapes.

Oh dear! The last I used Compuserve -- it was TEXT only on a 300 baud modem via Tymnet .. and Telenet if I recall correctly.

Falcon by Spectrum Holobyte was a favorite game on the Amiga. Before there were LAN parties, I'd have two computers joined together via a cross-over serial port to play head-to-head.

You'd start out at like 10,000 feet heading toward each other .. and if you made it past that - the dog fight began!

Warg 64 @warg64.bsky.social · 2d

A great game, I had this for the Amiga - a great 2-player game!

"Look, all I 'ad was a colander from me ol' mum's kitchen cupboard to use as a helmet. I stuck some spikes on it to make it look well 'ard. Leave off, awright?"

The cover for the original Speedball game, with a lanky looking guy looking both shy and sulky in his shiny chrome future sports armour and what looks like a spiky bowl on mod head.

I wonder if this retro computing bus is going to visit where I live.

Probably not, they're in the U.K.
