Have to say that Captain Ishtar look quite impressive considering its using what many would have thought was an obsolete game engine by this time. The fact that it is being used in ways that no one could have imagined when it was first created is the most impressive part.

It's not the first one to use this technique, though... "Poltergeists on Floor 12" and "Speed Demon" did something similar with SEUCK! 👍

Awesome work, I rarely comment but wanted to say that I love checking out your videos. Im a hobbyist c64 6510 asm coder and have a game I have been working on which I hope to bring to your channel some day when it is closer to launch.. Your efforts for the small but passionate c64 scene are very much appreciated!

"Beatlicht" is pretty amazing. The use of filters is very clever! The drums (snare) and the bassline and bass sound are so well thought out! There's alot going on in that soundtrack! Well done! Sounds GREAT!

I don't quite have the content yet to be able to produce a November 2022 edition. There have been many releases lately but a many of them are just not very good. If I do a November 2022 video then it will be made available on either the 18th or 25th. Thanks for your support.

Hey thanks for that. There are a couple of big titles due before the end of the year so hopefully this will be enough to produce a November episode.

I would say let it be a Zzap exclusive at least for a while gives people another reason to subscribe to them

@RetroGamerNation Жыл бұрын

But this benefits Zzap not the game coder. Zzap are not paying Sven for having the game as a cover disk - I just can't see why Sven would not want more people to play his game while its 'fresh'. Unfortunately, lower profile games like this have a limited shelf life. Ah nevermind, as long as Sven is happy.

@@RetroGamerNation, I’m planning to release it for everyone soon. With respect to the thrust challenges, how would you prefer controls to work? Thanks for covering the game!

@RetroGamerNation Жыл бұрын

@@SvenKrasser That is great to hear Sven, you have a good little game there and I am sure many people will enjoy playing it. In respect, to the thrust control sensitivity - many people like the sensitivity of Thrust while I personally think LeiLei Relay is best in this regards. But this is really a subjective opinion - what is best for me is not necessarily good for everyone else.

It'll be sad to see RGN's roundups drop down to a quarterly schedule - whilst at the same time, if he feels it's necessary to ensure his roundups continue with the top-notch quality we've come to expect ... then we'll all understand

@RetroGamerNation Жыл бұрын

Quality with these round up has to come first and I refuse to have an episode that is just all filled with shovel-ware level titles. As it stands right now, November 2022 is not looking likely to happen unless I do a big Flashback section. We'll see.

I don't know... Jumping in Captain Ishtar looks strange, but I like the music

@RetroGamerNation Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, even the modified version of SEUCK can't get passed that the jumping mechanic will always have some sort of floating effect to it. Alf was clever to have it so that your character is using a jetpack rather than jumping.

I checked Google trends for the search term "Commodore 64" and over the past 5 years, it has been in decline, bar occasional peaks, typically in December. Any theories why?

@LordmonkeyTRM Жыл бұрын

The number of people who are returning to it has plateaued. And everyone else already knows where most c64 content is...

@RetroGamerNation Жыл бұрын

Yes I agree with TheRetroMacaque, we have hit the peak of people returning to the C64 and people now know where to go for information (facebook, twitter, youtube) as 'old' internet is not as convenient as social media apps. The pick up in December is consistent with people going out less during the Northern Hemisphere winter and taking breaks from work.

@kodiak64 Жыл бұрын

@@RetroGamerNation Interesting stuff! Personally, I think that YT overall probably has the most C64 activity of all the online arenas, at least in my own observations. Another finding of mine is that Reddit seems to be best for attracting US-based interest in the scene, just going by analytics for my own website.

@pamelajessup7931 Жыл бұрын

As TheRetroMacaque, RetroGamerNation and indeed Marcel Proust allude to, you're always drawn back to what you enjoyed as a young teenager during your formative years. The same has happened with every generation, "retro" isn't actually a new thing at all!

@pamelajessup7931 Жыл бұрын

No major releases but a few nice items nonetheless. I still don't think the player size is much good on the C64 beat 'em ups. I would expect some technical wizardry would have doubled their vertical height at this stage but it must be very challenging.
