Fancy seeing you here. 😄

Hey out there in retro computerland! First of all I remember years ago that one of my relatives I think it was had purchased a game for me this was way back I was using a computer through the school because we needed a computer at at home and at that time it was way out the reach of most! The term needing computer was actual need to be able to be able to do any schoolwork! Later on my knob using Dragon dictate on newer machine However I remember that I had gotten a copy of a game I don't remember which one it was but I know that it was on the box that it just had the Apple version don't remember which model of the Apple computer it was either. However not only did it have the disc for the Apple but the discs for every single computer system the game was for or in the box with as well. By the way this game had no copyright protection whatsoever such as in the manual and you would be able to play all the way through! Or any other things regarding that sort of protection that you would need to be able to enter something or otherwise have the manual or any other gimmicky ones no decoder whatever. I had other friends that had different machines as well as as well as I donated the game just somewhere that had a Commodore 64. There was at least unsafe or five other machines besides the Apple that the disorder included for and so three or four other people got a fully functional game out of this. I was going to reformat the disk just use visited if could do I realized what was going on there might as well get someone that can use it! Really I was not supposed to be playing games on that school in the machine but I didn't buy the game myself so kind of stuck under the radar we told the people that got us that this as well but they didn't listen! Also I remember playing a Missile Command clone you could say it was one that was later in the computer generation I don't even remember what year or what generation of machine is was on. All I do know is did support three-button Mouse and the interesting thing is I don't think you'd call this an Easter egg but more of a Polish man or navy is an Easter egg hard to say. To give perspective here when using 2 button Mouse when you're playing you're able to use left and right Mouse button has to fire the missile from either side of the screen. Hit Riverview could do simultaneously but I think we're able to do so? However they warned you about the third Mouse button if you use that Mouse button randomly blows up one of your cities!!! The other thing that was sort of clever is when you count out how many missiles are left on screen it was shortened fingers for number missiles in cycling through their fingers to count number of missiles left either side which is pretty interesting to say the least! I wonder if anyone has written diversion of the Lemmings soundtrack for The Commodore 64 Sid chip as well that probably would sound pretty good I'd say if something like that would be on KZfaq anywhere please give a link thanks. I don't even know if Lemmings ever lays for Commodore 64 not I kind of doubt it but is phospholipid may have this is the original Lemmings not the sequels

I remember back in the day also playing it an old Atari game I only think I knew one person that had had it and I don't remember the title or anyting. There were a couple Easter eggs and just some things rather interesting I think it was even a rudimentary password sister on this one I know there was at least one other that had a way of doing this. But part of this game or most of it was like a wild West sort of game. And under certain conditions if somehow you could get on the horse backwards and if you do this you'd hear the tune to the old gray mare! And also if you went into the saloon at the right time or under certain conditions one of the few different Snippets of a piece of music with play on the player piano I do remember one was Entertainer another was she'll be coming round the mountain and I'll be working on the railroad what's another. The only one I remember otherwise was Camptown Races although that might have been in another part of the game I think there was a place where you can place a bet on a horse perhaps but I might have this confused with a different game but I do know for a fact somewhere in the game Camptown Races. It wasn't I don't think the full piece but it was at least a good clip of the all of the above songs. Also there was a game that I don't know if I had this one or not it was rather interesting it did use the dot matrix printer sometimes is it output device four texts but not only that you have some options including a sound option but enabled you to use a printer to play sound I don't know if this was something one off regarding only that game itself using this technique but it was different and novel to say the least. And in sometimes would even use the PC speaker is addition to the printer and it actually was quite different but still interesting to say the least but did sound lot better than just PC speaker back in the day

Much respect to you Andy!

Whoa, Andy Finkel? Hey Andy, was any work done on the VIC-20 version of Wizard of Wor? It was on the back of the system box but it sure wasn't in my VIC-20.

@@jessragan6714 Jeff Bruette would remember better than I would...

Very cool to hear about these early accessibility uses, thanks for the comment!

Was it the SC-01 or SC-02?

@@enderjed2523 that was 40ish years ago. Your guess as good as mine. :)

@@camelid By the production units alone, it was more likely to be an SC-01.

Lol… I sympathize. It took me quite a while to figure out a similar part of HHGTTG ( after being beamed up to the Vogon ship ). I was stuck for months and months. I would just replay and bang my head on the table every time.

And it features the only 2 cartridges I own -- Adventure and Omega Race! woohoo!

Good one!

Came here to say this, I can't imagine that it was anything but an MP reference. IF SO WAS IT THE FIRST PYTHON REFERENCE IN A VIDEO GAME? :D

Great times. I so wish My c64 and disks where not stolen 30 years ago. Had so much of my 11 yearold self programing in them disks.

Thanks Mike, Avenger is a great game! And yes, it's got the easter egg from Professor Matsuoka in it, as does his other VIC-20 game, Poker. I found out about these back in 2020 and never did get around to making a video about them. I should do that sometime, thanks for the reminder.

It's probably just the way the resistance coil and wiper is set up to ensure the lowest resistance without falling off the edge and going open circuit, plus there would be a length of resistance wire from the terminal to the start of the coil. On an Atari coil, that tiny length would have twice the resistance of a Commodore coil. Just my thoughts, I could be wrong tho (often am!!).

Haha, yes! :) Can you edit your name however you want it shown in your Patreon account? That way I'll get the name right as I dump all the names out of the Patreon spreadsheet they send me. If I have to do it manually I'll forget. Thanks :)

There's likely some variation from set to set; I'd guess that's why the original code checked for < 2 on one paddle and < 8 on the other.
