Hoya!

Wow, did not know Rocket Ranger made it on C64!!!

Obviously, I do not know what the version looks like, but I LOVE the Amiga version. So full of atmosphere... Even if, like every Cinemaware game, damn hard...

Hoya!

I LOVED California Games on CPC! I just adore multi-part games...

I would really like to have it on Amiga...

Funny, I LOVE Shinobi on Amiga! :-)

As for Commando... Well, I DO LOVE VERY MUCH the Amstrad version!!!!!!!! I think it is my favourite game EVER, no matter the platform! The soundtrack is FANTASTIC, an infectious melody, believe me!

There are many "remixes" of it on kwed.org, some are quite poor, some are nice, but NONE ofthem beat the CPC version!

/me prays Capcom for creating Commando ;-D

Your spelling is right, it is Bubble Bobble.

Well, I guess it is safe to say that, given the fantastic simplicity of the game, all adaptations are perfect...

Hehe... I have a funny story about Gauntlet on CPC...

One day, I was at one of my best friend's (yes, the one I used to play SpeedBall2 and Silkworm with) place and we decided to play Gauntlet...

If you remeber, the box displayed a big and fearsome dragon, waiting to be defeated by brave heroes.

So, we started playing one hour or so before dinner, then we went to eat, after having paused the game, went back and resumed...

Then we finally reached level 98...99... Abd level 100!
Boy we were ecstatic! We were about to fight the mighty dragon!

So, at the end of level 100, the computer asked to rewind the tape to 0 and to press a key, which we did...

But, while the CPC was loading some data, I had a thought I shared with my mate... WHY on Earth would the FINAL boss' data be situated at the BEGINNING oof the tape??? Did'nt sound logical, did it?

Anyway, we patiently waited for the data to load, then, started playing "the last level".

Boy, were we SO disapointed!!! There was NO last level, NO blinking dragon to kill, only, due to some space or techinical reasons, a NEVER-ending game!!!  :-o

So, after playing a couple of levels "just in case", we reset the CPC and carried on with another game...

Needless to say, we did NOT play Gauntlet for quite a VERY long time after this!!! ;-)
