@MuseumCommodore Both are fantastic and the two best computers ever made, but I'd put the Amiga slightly ahead.

@landofthe80s I saw one today in my drawer, as I used it last week to put IPA in to clean contacts on an Amiga and C64.

Is anyone old enough to know what this is?

@MuseumCommodore I cleared The Last V8, and loved the music and loading screen. Sanxion had the best music, though I didn't like the game very much. Action Biker was my favourite game of those, but my least favourite Rob tune. I actually had originals of those.

Among these six Rob Hubbard Commodore 64 games, which do you consider the best? Rob Hubbard was the musician behind some of the most iconic 8-bit music from the 1980s.

@MuseumCommodore I'm Elite on the Amiga version :-)

Any fans of this game?

@MuseumCommodore I loved it. I mapped the whole thing and completed it several times.

Techno Cop (1988) Commodore Amiga. Part detective, part road warrior, part tough guy...and all cunning. Did you play it?

@MuseumCommodore Original hardware, though I emulate when I don't have the real thing.

Which one are you? Original hardware or emulation?

@MuseumCommodore One of the first C64 games I ever played. The music was so good it convinced me that I had to get one for Christmas.

Aztec Challenge (1983) Commodore 64. Legendary game, YES/NO? Did you know the backstory to the game? "Suddenly you are in the capital of the Aztec Empire in 1500 A.D. You have been sentenced to be a ritual sacrifice to their gods, and your only chance of escape is to complete an obstacle course known as "THE AZTEC CHALLENGE!" - Back of cassette.

What does this mean to you?! #gaming #GamersUnite

@fedalvar @OficialCAP That's a Commodore 64c keyboard and partial case 😍

This one answers a question only people from my country ask / Esta foto responde una pregunta que solo la gente de Uruguay me pregunta #AlienRomulus

@ilovenostalgia 2. No MySpace or AOL.

I have 2 points...

@RetroGamerArt I love Paradroid, and the cover art. I've always wanted to know who drew the original (Danny Flynn did P90). Here's my loading screen I did.

Paradroid (1985)

@RetroRandRs Brilliant! You got it spinning! It wasn't the end of the world if I lost it, but I did spend a bit of time putting things onto it.

The Quantum 40MB HDD in this SE/30 wasn’t spinning up. A bit of a tap has brought it back to life, but probably not for long - hence I’m backing it up to an SD card on a BlueSCSI! 😊

@8BitShowAndTell Ahh, I see. I have a PET (4032), but I'm unfamiliar with the Business Keyboard. I didn't know (or I'd forgot) it had a repeat key (and a few other differences to other PETs).

@PaulKitching71 Yes, it's an early VIC-20 keyboard which I only recently learned is a very close match to the PET's "business" keyboard. Besides the function keys, the only other difference is the Restore key's side, so I replaced it with the PET's Repeat key. The caps are compatible.

Pretty good fit, but not quite perfect.

@PacBilly Yes, I noticed this was being made on the Denial forum. I'll definitely give it a go 🙂

@PaulKitching71 You’ve got to give this one a go on your channel.

@Love_the_80s_UK What do you mean "was"? It still is in my house. I've never bought one since they changed the name, though I have eaten some I was given.

Who remembers when it was called Marathon?

@markmoxon I have it running on my PAL C64 on a Sony Trinitron CRT. It looks great! :-) Well done.

@JudgeDrokk PET at school, soon followed by a Vic-20 at home, then a C64, Amiga 500, then A1200. I have a PET (and the others) at home now.

Do you remember your first time?

@UridiumAuthor Excellent. I once did a loading screen for Paradroid. You can see it here: paul-kitching.uk/games/c64/para… I have a version of the game that loads my pic when it loads :-)

As a supplement to the #Paradroid article in this month`s Retro Gamer issue 235, I have added a page to my blog about the Paradroid now legendary blue sheet. The page is at: uridiumauthor.blogspot.com

@froogle @UridiumAuthor I was thinking yesterday when I read it that I'd definitely buy a PS4 twin stick version.

@UridiumAuthor It was a fantastic read! Didn't even know about the Arch version. Maybe it's time though to release Paradoid Millenium on Steam ;) ?? Twin stick mechanics for shooting and take over? top down but 3d levels? Particles EVERYWHERE!

Paradroid! New interview content.
