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.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...

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. 💎

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.

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.
