[I've just heard the sad news that the computing pioneer Sir Clive Sinclair died last night. He changed the lives of many, many people who grew up in the UK in the 1980s. We owe him a very great debt. RIP, Sir Clive.] Well, that was something. I spent a full hour recording this week's […]

We're edging closer to the end of this series (which will come at episode 64, appropriately enough). There's still plenty of fun to be had before it's over, though! In this week's episode we once again play games found on a series of random floppies. We start with a game I actually enjoyed a lot […]

This week's episode contains another eclectic mix of ancient Commodore 64 video games. We started with Snoopy, which turned out to be rather basic and tedious. We then tried Trucking USA, which turned out to be in German. From there things became more interesting, with a fun platformer called Burger Time, a classic arcade conversion […]

Another mix of games in this week's episode! It's hard to know what the first game, Road Runner, was meant to be, as it really must have been corrupted – there's no other reason for the graphics to be so messed up. The second, The Hobbit, was an illustrated text adventure I remember playing for […]

This week's episode is an interesting one, in that it includes a couple of Italian games that I've found no reference to on the interwebs. And both were really fun to play! The first was Miami Race (that's right – not Vice, but Race), which was a very playable (i.e. fun and easy) racing game, […]

In this week's episode we take a look at four games, with a brief interlude of Nothin' Special. The first game was a Pac-Man clone that's apparently called Munch Man 64. We then went on to play two "patrol" games (which basically have nothing in common beyond the name): Falcon Patrol II and Park Patrol. […]

Last week I mentioned that this week we'd be continuing on the sporting theme, in honour of the Tokyo Olympics. In addition to the Indoor Sports compilation I'd found, I came across World Games, which is the first set of games we tried in this week's episode.     Here's the cover art for this […]

As we're in the middle of the 2021 Olympics – well, more honestly because I happened to stumble across the floppy it was on – this week's episode is all about the sports-related games contained in The Ball Games Pack for the Commodore 64. This compilation contains four games, one of which we played in […]

I'm up in the mountains, this week, but managed to record an episode of Floppy Friday over the weekend, so we don't skip a week. At least not this week. 🙂 This week's episode takes a look at four Commodore 64 games, three of which worked fine. We start with Rambo – First Blood Part […]
