Apple II Longplay [008] Conan: Hall of Volta

[@JimLeonard]

Great example of what excellent Apple II programming looks and sounds like. Also, this was a VERY hard game, props to the player!

[@evilash570]

Spent many recess and lunch hours at school playing this! Used to love this game!

[@majikmonkee]

I used to love this game, although our copy froze every time it loaded the final level. There are a few ways you can get extra lives in this game like jumping on the tree from above in the first stage and I believe from jumping on the bird in the third stage. This and Karateka were my favorite childhood PC games though.

My recollection is that you can also get an additional diamond in the water spout level so you don't need to get it in the next level. Since I usually got lots of axes on that level, it was natural to collect an extra diamond as well.

This is one of the first computer games I remember seeing as a kid. We had a few Apple IIe computers in our school library and kids would play this over lunch.

[@8bit_paul]

Amazing, I hadn't seen or heard this in 40 years. Great stuff, thanks for posting!

[@joeyd1404]

loved this as a kid

[@42sstuff33]

You can get a free life by jumping into the bird on the ant level.

[@MarvinMonroe]

Played this a lot on our Apple IIc (which ill always remember getting on Suoer Bowl Sunday January 1986, about a week before my 7th birthday) "The Eyes Have It" quote always stuck with me

[@xeoneex]

Played a version of this on my OLD apple II e. Good times those.

[@c8832155]

This game is very hard. i have spent a lot of time to study how to play and how to pass the level since there haven't internet and gaming strategy in 30 years ago. i still remember i am so existing when i know i need to jump into the bubble in Level 3 to pass the level.

[@camello52]

Thanks I played this game for hours as a kid and never made it to the end.

[@rizon72]

Were you having trouble with the controls?

[@63worldseries]

on an apple iic, 9th grade Computer Programming with Mr Takaki. it was the best of times.

[@jayjohn9680]

My fav game on the Apple II was lemonade stand.

[@jesswang03]

I’ve been thinking about this game for almost 4 decades. I could never figure out level 4

[@TheBrethart2009]

Yeah I remember I had trouble with level: 5 when I played this game as a kid! I agree that this is a hard game!

[@IHATEDRIVING2]

is funny the sound when Volta dies in this version

[@red420noscope]

17:50 :P

[@elementsoflightandmusic]

I've been trying to remember this game we played around with in the 80s, and I don't think this is it, but its similar, any other game titles similar to this you can think of? I recall it being darker, like more purple and blue and black background.

[@chuongha9530]

So Kool. I remember playing this game.

[@АхилесЭакидов]

Одно-экранная лабиринтная бегалка на основе первого фильма о Конане со Шварцнэйгером... главный герой по мне больше похож на девушку главного героя из того же самого фильма... хотя с учётом мелковатости рисунка - можно предположить, что это всё-таки Конан! К слову, хотя механика у игры именно от одно-экранной лабиринтной бегалки - тем ни менее в рамках этой механики и вот такой графики, она действительно похожа на фентези о Конане... чтоб в этом убедиться - достаточно присмотреться, как главный герой (Героиня!) добывает камни, помещает их на алтари, избегает драконов, кидает бумеранги, да и всё прочее, особенно в последней паре уровней... было интересно увидеть данное прохождение! Благодарю за всё показанное!!! P. S. Да и мультфильмы и фильмы о Конане хотелось бы мне глянуть через какое-то время опять, особенно после просмотра этого прохождения игры!

[@TheUsualSuspekt]

Used to play the hell out of this, Amazon, and Montezumas Revenge.

[@TheYakuzac]

This game has quite the intro.

[@philtoa334]

This Game so good memories .So far this period .

[@skinny4]

Memories.

[@CallMeSugarMilk]

That's FUCKING METAL AS FUCK DUDE!-Jontron

[@newsmansuper2925]

you can hodl jump second screen, go straight through the first tree branch. Last level was the killer. 4th level the hump level. I played this a lot and came to be able to beat is quite at will.

[@thespikespeigel]

This is like time traveling. I had a cracked copy of this game. You don’t need advanced graphics to make a fun game.

[@EN-Light-EN]

I never new how to go through at the level 6. It took more than 35 years to solve it! LOL

[@Jeremy-ql1or]

This game made Battletoads look easy.

[@فيصلالصومالي-ي9ز]

amazing

[@mikecarson9242]

needed to gather more throwing axes on level 3

[@filozof90]

Datasoft. Could you think of more generic name?

[@yurihageshi8008]

filozof at the time it was awesome

[@yurihageshi8008]

filozof how to know to chop the chandlier down. wow

[@8bit_paul]

Haha yeah, it sounds generic now because everyone since then has copied it thousands of times, they were the groundbreakers.

[@TheBrethart2009]
