C64 Video Longplays

Posted by Cybergoth, 30 March 2007 · 21 views

Hi there!

Uh... what is a longplay you ask? Well, It started out a dozen years ago as a monthly feature in the German 64'er magazine I think. (If the idea was just stolen from a foreign mag, I apologize for not knowing it any better ;))

A classic longplay in the 64'er magazine was a lengthy and very in-depth article or series of...

The NES has no R-Types!

Posted by Cybergoth, 20 March 2007 · 35 views

Hi there!

What I mean, there's no other noteworthy horizontal scrolling sci-fi shoot'em ups on the NES letting you control a space ship, besides Gradius and every other level of Life Force. And a totally ruined Uridium conversion in the form of the Last Star Fighter.

Hi there!

Richard Joseph, one of the most famous computer game musicians died on 4th March 2007 ;)

From his early C64 tunes for Palace, over his Amiga work for Sensible Software, the Bitmap Brothers and many more, up to Oblivion in 2006 - it's impossible that one hasn't heard some of his compositions while playing video games.
