Really nice of you to say so Tom. I love that 64K and RGN are complimentary channels and I am really pleased to have form a friendship and alliance with Brendan.

What a great idea for a series! Please continue!! ❤

Thank you for the feedback. I will be continuing the series as I had a lot of fun playing the games that I missed out in the 90s.

This is a great idea as there were so many C64 games released in the early 90s that most are probably unaware of because by then most had moved on to newer hardware. There were still a lot of games being released every month up until late 1992 if I'm right.

@RetroGamerNation Жыл бұрын

This is exactly my thinking. It ‘kind of’ fits in with the RGN philosophy of showing new games while at the same time i het to play games I mostly never played

Cool! I was still using my C64 well into the 90's. I wouldn't guess that 30 years later, the ole' beast would be enjoying a second golden age. 😅

Neat idea to revisit this era via the magazines that were popular at the time and on which we relied to sort the weed from the chaff to bungle a saying. Of course the mags also suspiciously bungled their reviews from time to time. Really enjoyed this one and hope it'll be a successful series!

Loved this episode Louie, thanks. Got my C64 for Christmas in 1990 (Light fantastic pack for those to remember) and so this was right in my C64 sweet spot. Looking forward to what other gems you dig up.

Hey thanks Glen, I find it fascinating to learn just how many people got started with the C64 in the 90s. I was thinking that this series would be of interest to those who left the C64 by then but instead it looks like there is quite a good portion of viewers for who this will be pure nostalgia. The game titles for episode 2 are going to be a lot of fun.

@75slaine Жыл бұрын

@@RetroGamerNation Looking forward to it. The C64 was definitely on the way out by then. I was saving hard that year for a 1541 which cost more than the C64. By the end of the year, I realised I could sell the C64 and. use the 1541 money to buy an Amiga 500, which was what I ended up doing. But my friends still had C64s too so it was still a big part of our teenage years.

Glad to hear this. These 90s episodes would hit more of a nostalgic nerve for some while being new to others.

Nice episode concept. i hope you keep making them in good time. Time machine i never played but did see in magazines of the day. I always like seeing green or a "wilderness, jungle" atmosphere on the C64. I think the c64 can handle this very well. Iron lord was an original i borrowed off a friend from school. I found it good but very hard. Particularly the combat with the knights. I think the game was very advanced in complexity for the C64 but it worked well. Rest of the games i never played as i got my Amiga in Christmas 1990 via the starter pack. The one with the young woman in a woollen jumper hugging the amiga with what looks her younger brother playing a flight sim. I still have a pack in pristine condition that took me 3 years to find.

Hey, thanks for sharing your memories. I loved reading your recollection from the past. The 90s retrospective series will definitely be part of the channel programming schedule as I enjoyed playing the games very much. I think these will probably come out every second month for the current time.

I was more active as a C64 user in the '90s than in the '80s, so to me this is very nostalgic. I think you're overly harsh on Monty Python. Granted, it's not worth the CF score, but it's a functional shoot-em-up with bizarre settings. Atomix would have been a nice Sokoban variant had it not been for the tight time limit. Tilt suffers from a lack of depth. Fully agree on Satan.

@RetroGamerNation Жыл бұрын

Thank you for taking the time to provide your views on some of the games. I did wonder when playing Monty Python whether perhaps British gamers would have appreciated it more as I feel that I am missing some sort of context that might have allowed me to make sense of it all. Did you know that Your Commodore gave it a 10/10 rating? Reviewer must have been a big Monty Python fan.
