Playing Scramble Spirits (C64)

Hi there!

So this is what do you get, when a lame programming team converts a lame arcade:

The main problem with this Sega conversion, which is immediately obvious, are the graphics. They're so bad, that even now after completing the game I couldn't tell whether this Xevious...

Hi there!

Yet another license game, albeit with graphics amazingly close to the TV Show:

Posted Image

The graphics of this game were really quite good, even in motion. The whole rest of it... is another story though... :ponder:

So what we got here is some kind of an adventure game. The story is...

Playing Magic Johnson's Basketball (C64)

Hi there!

Magic Johnson, a name in Basketball so big, even I heard of him!

Okay, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan got video games too, so I knew them as well :lolblue:

In school I always preferred Basketball over Soccer, since I was rather big and slow than small and fast....

Playing Space Harrier II (C64)

Hi there!

This is definitely a first: A Genesis game that got ported to the C64:

Posted Image

At least unless there was a Space Harrier 2 Arcade machine. (But I don't think there was one, or?). It's not unique though, as another one of Segas Genesis games, World Championship Soccer, got...

Playing Die Hard (C64)

Hi there!

Hans Gruber, Holly Gennaro and John Mclane on the C64:

Posted Image

I had way too high expectations regarding this game, since I thought it was the follow up to one of my all-time favorites, Project Firestart. Further research surprisingly (for me at least :twisted:

) revealed though, that just...

Playing Nuclear War (Amiga)

Hi there!

Nuking it out once again with Ronnie Raygun and Gorbachef:

Posted Image

Now that was one game that I totally loved back in the day. I really can't think of many other games operating on such an insane level of black humor :lolblue:

In its core Nuclear War is a dead simple, board game...

Playing Champions of Krynn (Amiga)

Hi there!

Red Areemers are called Draconians in the Dragonlance universe:

After all the rather so-so games lately, it's been about time to spend some higher quality gaming time once again. Of course another AD&D game is always welcome in my house, especially one that dives...

Playing Street Cred Football (C64)

Posted by Cybergoth, in Playing... 05 April 2011 · 144 views

Hi there!

I know it's hard to tell from the screenshot, but as usual that's European Football, not American:

Well, well... here I thought it'd be absolutely impossible to make a C64 soccer game worse than Fighting Soccer, but here we have a...

Hi there!

The Amazing Spider-Man and Captain America in Doctor Doom's Revenge:

That definitely is by far the longest title of a game I've been "Playing..." so far! :lolblue:

Ah well, after seeing games based on DC Comics like Batman and...

Playing P47 Thunderbolt (C64)

Hi there!

After Psycho Pigs UXB another Jaleco Arcade game got converted to the C64:

Posted Image

Unfortnately though, this one is complete trash. It should be quite a challenge to find a worse C64 programming team than the makers of this conversion. I've never seen a...
