Flimbo's Quest
The Age Old Question: Hawkeye vs Flimbo's Quest? I know in which camp I sit. The #C64 is a marvellous machine and it was literally MADE for games like this. Gorgeous production, GFX and SID. Fun and difficult gameplay. Secrets. And a shop with a wizard in it. Winning.

Lords of Midnight, The
Simply one of my favourite #C64 games of all time and it was written on a #48K. SMH. The screen below, when appearing as you are traversing a mountain range, or forest, genuinely instills TERROR. Genius game by Mike Singleton. Available on many modern platforms.

Old Tower
I think I first got this game on XBLA on the #XBOX360 way back when, or perhaps Steam, but this 2020 #C64 version is an absolute MARVEL on the machine. Utterly charming, heavy production values and it plays PERFECTLY. If you've never played it - give it a go, it's CRACKING!

It really is good. One of the most memorable snippets of game loading nostalgia for me on the #C64. Love it.

It must have been a few weeks since I mentioned the cool tape loader for Mike Singleton's "Lords of Midnight", which shows off its excellent 3D landscaping engine.
It's quite a mesmerising effect. I should have tried it back when I had access to weed. 😋

More #C64 goodness on the #SubStack - it's free, it'll all still be here, but, the thing about "here" is that it all just gets shifted away by the perpetual ticking of the clocks... There, it is curated (FREE) and always available. There, there, said the Mayor. That's that.

Dateline 1987 and a Firebird £1.99 platformer game for the #C64. I never played this back in the day, though, my excellently named "Book of Games for the Commodore 64" says otherwise (see below) - I just played it now. It's madenningly frustratingly playable. Hahaha! ARGH!

So, last night my brother and I went to see our 2nd Bob Dylan Gig in three years. It wasn't great. Which is a shame, as the one 3 years ago really was. So much to deconstruct and not much of it positive - my disappointment is palpable, as is my worry for the artist. My favourite artist. 😐

It is nearing mid-November and that means we are nearing the end of Autumn and the transition into Winter. It feels unseasonally mild out, which reminded me of this Childhood Classic. Did y'all have to sing this at School Assembly? #Uke #Ukukele #LookingFarTooSmart

Trying something a little different, Ladies & German Measels - I am unsure as to how it sits. But, tomorrow, at least, I shall be adding some free historical #C64 content to my new #SubStack and there will be much, much more there too. Why not subscribe (I know - ANOTHER one?!?!) - it's free.

Wow. I have never heard of this, nor played it. Now I have. Lovely presentation and possibly a decent 2-Ply "Joust" affair for the #C64. Released for free, I think, in 1991. It's fairly interesting, but you really do need to have two playing it. The controls are a bit whack.

I have found my mother's uncle's balsa wood sealed box of cigars. 🤠 Bob Harris' Country Hour just started on Radio 2. I have no trousers on and am sitting in the comfy indoor outdoor garden chair in the kitchen. Stable door is being opened... Now, where's the light..?

The loading screen is a bit pants (doesn't exist) & the title screen similar, so, you have some other images from this brilliantly fun and tricksy #C64 game. A favourite of @c64cade.com - I have watched him try to complete this on stream many a time. Classic game of old.

The (brand new BTW) wood burner in the cottage is flippin' bonkers good. I bought a little fan thang that only works (almost silently) when it is hit and it gently circulates warm air into the room. I didn't think it was working. It was. It's silent. 😂
