#Twitter or #BlueSky feels like this, in front or behind, I'm just crawling back to the lampost, man. #SuperMarioWorld
#CarrierCommand

I should be working (!) - IKR? But, here I am landing a MANTA onto the runway of the starter island of VULCAN in the PC (DOSBox) version of CC on Steam!!! COME ON THEN! @bhaalspawn.bsky.social you'd love the EGA / CGA / VGA and SPEAKERS / SOUNDBLASTER choices alone! #PCGaming #Retro

I have been reading, seeing, smelling and tasting a huge amount of #C64 and #C64U content of late, now I am back from my hollibibs and look what I received in the e-mail too..? EXCITE BIKE! I best get a display screen sorted for it ASAP!

Carrier Command

It's sequel Battle Command was showcased yesterday, so how is the original classic CC on the #C64? Well, parts of it look and play the same, but the 3D element has been totally removed and replaced with a bad SEUCK top-down shooter thing. Boo hiss! Nice loader, mind you.

Battle Command

I loved Carrier Command and first was introduced to it in my shared bedroom with my brother, as he was myopically peering into the small colour TV set, depicting the Island Map on the #AtariST. We'll come to the #C64 version of that shortly, but this cart-only sequel 1/2>

There's a line, spoken by Basildon and repeated a few times in Fawlty Towers, about Manuel.

Indeed.

Nice weather though!

Buggy Boy

I can hear it now. Can you? Buggy Boy on the #C64 was and remains an absolute MARVEL. It is just so, so, so much fun to play and really does keep you coming back for more. Constantly in peops' top 10, 5, 3 racing games on the computer, it really is that good. Aces.

Last Day on piste. Quite interestingly, I have noticed that with considerably increased exercise / activity, I have also reduced my alcohol intake, I have hardly drank anything this holiday, very different to last year. What a great springboard for, uh, the Spring, back home. 🥳

Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday

A futuristic outing for the SSI Game Engine, but nothing really got in the way of this being an absolute belter of a role playing game on the #C64. Sure, the Amiga might have looked a tiny bit nicer, but the ol' Breadbin is no slouch. Ace.

Boulder Dash II

A classic franchise by Peter Liepa, BD is the apogee of dirt-digging, boulder-dodging, enemy-exploding, diamond-grabbing maze mayhem and the #C64 version is likely one of the best out there. This sequel "Rockford's Revenge" has a few extra bells & whistles. 💎

Pre-massages don't start better than a pint of Guinness and a little Journalling... It says... somewhere...

Notes from El Tarter #1

The weather is a mixed bag of light snow (today) and blue skies and sunshine (yesterday). The latter, is always preferred, but without the former, there are no slopes! I have a €100 hour-long massage booked for this afternoon, which I absolutely cannot wait for. Aching. ☺️

BMX Simulator

Codemasters published a vast array of games across the 8-bits & the 16-bits, before making squillions on the Game Genie. For the #C64 this one really landed. Lovely graphics, pacing and gameplay. A 2-Ply mode and just a load of fun for £1.99. Pocket Money Gold.

Welcome to El Tarter, Andorra. None too shabby. The rest are off carrying out the onerous and odious task of hiring equipment, so I can sit out on the bar balcony, drinking a pint, writing journal and watching the world go by. Carefully, so as not to fall! #Holidays

Lying in bed after a long-needed shower, due to drive to airport parking at 2am, our Designated Tour Leader says - we're no longer flying into France, but we're landing in Barcelona instead. Extra hour in the coach up into Andorra. Snow, for a snowboarding holiday is great. Too much. Not so great.

Wizball

One of the best #C64 games ever made and consistently in many "Top Ten" lists, A wizard as a ball and a Cat; amazing music; mental gameplay and some really groovy artwork -> what more could you want? A triumph of a game and stands up easily 40 years on. Play it.
