Commodore 64 Hero

[MichaelH]

This is kind of old, but new to me, probably new to some other people, and simply too boss not to share regardless:

Yes, yes, it's Guitar Hero for the Commodore 64.



That satisfies something deep inside that I can't describe and probably shouldn't.

Jeez, haven't seen one of those in years...humm, porbably in ze attic.
Still, funny pic, this actually works and all?

 

[GrimRox]

I am amazed, please tell me that works.

As an ex-C64 geek and Basic "programmer" (uses inverted quotes wisely there!) I suspect I'm one of the few people alive on earth who can truly claim to think that you're "awesome" and not "insane". Baffling in its sheer uselessness, but superb nonetheless!

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

These crazy people and their programming. What will they do next.

The C64 was a synthesiser on steroids and it had a fantastic sound chip for its time. Some of the musical scores on games like The Last Ninja are legendary.

I had that joystick that is sitting ontop of the telly in that pic.

Double post - yay to me.

See, and here I thought this was going to be a thread on H.E.R.O.

And if that thing you posted wasn't awesome I would be really disappointed.

Whoa...Excellent *does Wyld Stallions fret in the air*

I need to point out in the interests of full disclosure that I had nothing to do with creating the mess of awesome in that picture. Maddoctorscat seems to believe that I am some sort of soldering whiz, but my participation in that project involved:
a) stumbling across it on the Interwebs
b) copying it
c) pasting it in this thread

That said, I can only hope that God is rewarding this person's genius with the appropriate number of nymphs and accolades.

Wow! I'm not the only person alive who remembers!

Last Ninja 2 (remember those opening chimes on the first load screen?), Last Ninja 3 (remember the opening with the lightning that cuts out just as the shuriken's about to hit the back of the guard's neck?), Outrun (Splash Wave and Magical Sound Shower - damn, I even remember the names!), Sly Spy (best unlicensed James Bond ripoff ever), Rambo (but you've got that one!), and half a dozen mini RPGs (can you remember one where you had to get a dagger from a vampire to kill a minotaur and steal it's amulet? I can't remember what it was called now...) I'm sure I could come up with a lot more if I tried, but those were my favorite.

Well I assumed "Last Ninja" meant the series, although 3 could've been better.

Turbo Outrun's Title screen was a Magical Sound Shower Remix.

I can't remember that particular one, but I was usually all about Action/Football Games.

Reminds me of how many damn Atari joysticks I broke playing Track & Field.

I wish I could find it on YouTube but the load music for Rastan Saga on the C64 was mindblowingly brilliant! Bionic Commando also had great music on some of the levels.

I think that Armalyte also had good music from memory.
