In this week's Floppy Friday we take a look at three more games on the Commodore 64: Rick Dangerous 2, North Sea Inferno and Black Panther.     I actually recorded this one before the holiday break (which I'm still enjoying with my family up in the mountains), but I have to admit I'm looking […]

Happy New Year!!! I'm sure everyone's thankful that 2020 is behind us (what a year that was). Let's all hope 2021 is going to be at least somewhat better. At the time I recorded this Floppy Friday, I hadn't connected the dots on the date (i.e. that Friday was due to fall on New Year's […]

It's Christmas Day and another Floppy Friday! Today's episode looks at two quite similar horizontally scrolling shooters, R-Type and Katakis/Denaris. There's a brief mention of Arkanoid, at the end, but that's really something we'll see another day.  

It's the last day of school! Well, of work. My kids still have school until Wednesday, but Autodesk has very generously insisted that its employees take an extended break over the holidays starting this evening. I'm planning to make the most of these two weeks – such as is possible with the pandemic-related restrictions – […]

This week's Floppy Friday is slightly shorter and probably no sweeter, showcasing two fun Commodore 64 games that came in as viewer requests. Stefano Metrangolo asked that I try to find International Soccer (which also goes by the names of International Football or Cup Final, in some places) and Clint Brown requested TMNT (Teenage Mutant […]

In this week's episode we take a look at Missile Command and Impossible Mission, and also talk about Out Run – another of my arcade faves from back in the day. A shout-out to both Matt Armitage and Marco Fiocco, who were the inspiration for the games played. I'm very happy with how my system […]

During the last few days I went through and found a couple more floppies for this week's Floppy Friday. The first contained Rastan, a game where you're a barbarian warrior off on some kind of adventure. The second contained a game called Druid (although the loader referred to it as "Druids", for some reason), which […]

It's Friday, so it's time to dig into a few old floppies for my old new Commodore 64. In this week's episode we take a look at an image on the same floppy as Bubble Bobble – which we saw last week – and then play Artax (and no, this doesn't have anything to do […]

With all the stress and anxiety in the world at the moment, it's nice to unwind with an old school video game. In this week's Floppy Friday we take a quick look at a couple of games – Nibbly '92 and Bubble Bobble. I used to play Bubble Bobble back in the day on my […]
