Bruce Carver was THE soul of the C64 early years. I think about him sometimes... I played Beach Head on my CBM64 from 1984 till 199...7 ! Remember: he's the creator of Access Software and of all of these famous C64 games that were "Raid over Moscow", the fantastic "Beach Head II" and the famous "Leaderboard" series, (ultra realistic golf). And no-one has perfectly used the SID component like him, with digitalized voices on BH II in 1984 !!!

A number of years ago, I started remaking this game in Flash and I was trying to be as faithful as possible. This is the first time I noticed that this version (most likely PAL) has different values from the NTSC version. In the second (or third phase if you take the short cut) with the ship-to-ship battle, the ranges for these ships are different. Also, the min-max range of your cannon elevation in NTSC is 21.0 - 81.5. In this, you can get below 20 and possibly even lower (to possibly 10).
@pajodato53393 жыл бұрын
There was a second version. I remember the dregrees required. I used Beach Head II on a PAL C64.
@VulpeRenard3 жыл бұрын
@pajodato Did you notice that music played faster in the C64 you owned compared to videos of C64 games now? I've heard that music playing at different speeds was an issue of interchanging NTSC/PAL computers with disks. My C64 played the music at about 1.5 times the speed of my emulator and all the videos I see now. The sounds were fine. I still had the C64 well into my later years, so this definitely wasn't a case of my child memory corrupting itself.

Love Impossible Mission, the entire 'Games' series was a blast - I remember being endlessly frustrated by Beach-Head and Raid over Moscow - thanks for bringing that back up! - a few major oversights though - Family Feud and Jepoardy! were both great, Karateka was a classic, Karnov and Wizards and warlocks were both decent ports. But hands-down the best game of all for the C64 was Space Rogue (1989 Origin). One of the first things I did when I got a PC circa 2000 was download a DOS port that I could play (and finally beat) that game. I remember having the star map up on my wall for years - it was the first game with GTA-style open world options - you could be a pirate, a trader, a bounty hunter, etc. Awesome awsome game to this day.

oh Beach-Head. My cousins and I played the HELL out of this. After we all beat it we started playing to see who could rack up the most points. I think we topped out north of 700,000. See the point amounts sprites that pop up when you shoot something? Shooting that sprite again gave you the same amount of points. The 1,000 point sprite for the level-2 tank was the key... you had to hit it at a point where you could maneuver around its shot and the obstacles while firing continuously...
