- ibobev 4y agoThis is probably the best looking C64 game ever.
- sirwhinesalot 4y agoCheck out Quod Init Exit II. Simpler art but runs in high resolution mode. Also Sam's Journey and the Sonic port. Modern C64 games look so much better than most older games.

- erickhill 4y agoYou should see the port of Eye of the Beholder for C64/128 that shipped November 2022. It's unbelievable. (Worked on, off and on, across 16 years.)
- ibobev 4y agoI saw it. It is very impressive too.
- redundantly 4y ago> This is probably the best looking C64 game ever. I loaded the page and started watching the video immediately, wondering why I should care about it. Run of the mill platformer, seemed like graphics and animations were chosen for style reasons, like thousands of other games out there. Frankly, I wasn't impressed. It wasn't until I came back to the comments here until I found out it's a C64 game. Now I'm incredibly impressed. Mind blowing to me now. Holy cow.
- c0wb0yc0d3r 4y agoIs a game like this played in a C64 emulator then? If not what makes it a C64 game?
- ibobev 4y agoI don't understand the question. The game can be played both on an emulator and on real hardware.
- ghkth0987 4y agovery very hard to play i like it :D
- gpderetta 4y agoMade by an old boss of mine. I've been lucky enough to always have had good bosses, but Tony is still the best!
- adamredwoods 4y ago64k impressive!
- egypturnash 4y ago1MB cartridge.
- erickhill 4y agoKirby's Adventure for NES back in the day was 768KB. Metal Slader Glory (1991 Japanese release) was a 1MB cartridge.

- egypturnash 4y agoMost c64 games would fit in about 1/6 of a 170k floppy disc, and loaded entirely into memory at once. Really big ones were on about 4 of those discs. Well, both sides of two discs, since you could flip them over and use the back side. This thing occupies the equivalent space of about 6 or 7 disc sides. It's crazy huge for a c64 game.
- fragmede 4y ago1 Megabit, which works out to be 128 kilobytes.
- egypturnash 4y agoHuh, that's not even an entire side of a 1541 disc. But I also just bought it and the game itself lives in a .crt file that OSX says is 1,034,272 bytes, and rounds to 1 megabyte. So I think you may be wrong in saying it is one megabit. (Doing the math, it is about 5.9 1541 discs worth of data, possibly a bit more if you consider theoretical directory tracks and/or custom recording formats that sacrifice some data density for blazing speed. Not that there appear to be any plans for a floppy version.)
- register 4y agoLet me mention some other impressive technical achievements on a much undervalued Commodore 8-bit: the Commodore Plus4.

- dean2432 4y agoA technical marvel! Imagine showing this game on the CES 1982 computer expo where C64 launched ^_^
