@MuseumCommodore I would rather compare the C64 with the Amstrad CPC 464; that would be a fairer match in my view...🤔

Be brutally honest… C64 or ZX Spectrum — which was better?

@PixelCNinja I can only conceive of Metal Slug on NeoGeo! 😊

Metal Slug 6 - I only played this for the first time recently, via Atomiswave on a Dreamcast.
Some of the background and foregrounds feel a little out of place.
Or is it just me?

@superactimore @cdeightsix Don't forget the atari 800 is the Amiga's daddy if you think about it 😉

@rhayadercompute This game was a revolution when it came out; it was so ahead of its time!

@cdeightsix @rhayadercompute Unfortunately, it's true—it's a scandal!😅

@rhayadercompute Never knew there was an Atari version. I hate to say it, but it looks much smoother than the c64 version that I remember so fondly.

Catalypse is a horizontally scrolling space shooter released for the Commodore 64 in 1992 by Genias.
It's highly regarded among retro gaming enthusiasts for its technical achievements and outstanding soundtrack.

@superactimore @exQUIZitely Lucky you preserved these relics.

The "Game Boy" before the Game Boy. Did you have one of these?
Game & Watch is something that I instantly associate with the 80s. As a kid, having one (or several) was incredible. A game you could take WITH you! Remember, that was the age of Atari 2600, Spectrum and C64... nothing much to "take with you" there.
I had a few of those, including the one in the top left, Donkey Kong. There was a trick/glitch that my brother and I discovered.
You could remove the cover for the battery in the back but keep the battery in place with your finger holding it down. If you ever so gently (and with a lot of timing/luck) let it disconnect for a split second while the player figure was doing the jump animation, you could feeze him in mid-air. Then you just popped the battery cover back on and would get 999 points (and going), 1 point for each barrel rolling under you while still being suspended for eternity in mid-air.
Funny how some memories stay with you forever.
What was your favorite Game & Watch title?

@exQUIZitely It's "Monster Panic", from "Epoch" (not from Nintendo) very addictive game...👌

@superactimore Omg, we have the same 4! What’s the one in the lower right corner?

Parfois il me faut une vidéo comme celle là pour me rendre compte aussi d'un truc qui me frustre personnellement

@TDK_Chiptune @exQUIZitely Indeed... it also seems to me that LCP used a sort of buffer stored in the 1541's 2 KB of RAM...

@superactimore @exQUIZitely Lack of memory would be the biggie then, quite a large omission.

Little Computer People, created by David Crane and Rich Gold, published by Activision in 1985.
Did you know, that a very special quirk of the early original version was that every disk had a unique ID? It impacted the main character's look, personality and behaviour in the game.
Let that sink in: a personalized, unique protagonist in a game that's over 40 years old! The first of its kind, and something that was pretty wild for that era of gaming. I can't think of another game with such a feature.
