That's it, another conversion of the RGB arcade game , this time for one of the biggest gaming platform of history, the Commodore 64. This is basically a scaled down version of the Atari-ST game. I could finish my review here but i need to fill the page ...
Don't be to affraid from the ugly title screen ( it's even worse than the GB1 game) ...ehm.. there's no title in fact ... because the rest of the GFX is not so bad.
Let's talk about GFX , as excepted , they are a little blocky but detailed (see image on the left) althogh some sprites (you got what a sprite is?) are really low resolution. What relly has good graphics are the landscape where you move. Don't even try to talk about animation 'cause 3 is the number of frames you can execept from this game. The sound is composed my the omni present GB theme which is played in loop throughout the levels. The quality is good and very similar to the GB1 game. | |
The gameplay itself is stil good with the 2player options simultanously avaible. It has all the features of the original version. Get it if you are an old C64 user or relly don't like emulation ( the C64 emulator is easier to use than the AtariST one). |
Here follow the RGB COMMODORE 64 docs based on Game Expirience:
