Gosh, this game reminds me of the times when life was so easy...sigh...

[@nowhereman5760]

newton4prez I miss my 80's childhood 😖

[@NotPoliticalCorrect]

Yes .... damn i miss those days !

[@whitecrusher010]

God, this takes me back, I used to play the shit out of this game when I was a kid. Brings back fond memories of my childhood, I can't remember if I completed the game or not, the last level was bloody hard!

[@chadster123]

It's the first time I ever heard my Dad scream out......."BAAAASTAAARD" It must have been about 1986. I was 6 and my Dad obviously got serious rage when he died. Great game

[@AmigaJunglism]

This comment echo’s my childhood.

[@jmp01a24]

And when you complete the game the damsel just take off, you do not even get a kiss for all your hardship and struggle. Just as in real life

[@1D0N]

Never made it to the end as a kid. Who knew you could finish it at just over 5 minutes!

[@colarichmond7309]

I used to play this with the sound down when my parents thought I was sleeping! This video is brilliant 😂

[@leerobertson7226]

Loved this back in the day

[@ThanksIfYourReadIt]

Damn I can't belived I enjoyed these back in the days more then the most triple AAA these days.

[@IgorAndreevski]

Thank you. I was looking for this for a long time now. I was listening to that theme so much that it got carved to my psyche. My mother used to get angry for me playing games all day, and would try to chase me out to play, but I was unstoppable. I am almost 50 now, but the theme of this game flashed me back to my childhood. It lasted a second, but almost brought tears in my eyes. I still play games and I know that to kids today this looks retarded, but this was quality entertainment in that time, what VR is today.

[@lloyddarbon5034]

I'd forgotten all about this game. Not hard to see why. Thanks for the memory though :)

[@JOT381]

This was a pivotal game in my C64 collection.

[@porridgesilt]

you made that seem way too easy! such a simple concept, jumping and running at the proper times. took me forever to finish back when. well played!

[@highlandrc9036]

oh the memories playing this game. i renamed the game Pokey Bum all those years ago because I would constantly get stabbed in the butt by those knights 🤣🤣🤣

[@NotPoliticalCorrect]

One of my all time favorit games from back then.... Gosh i spend a trillion hours playing it ... others were the Blagger serie and simular type of platform games LOVED em ... :P

[@ThanksIfYourReadIt]

Games back then was satisfing to play. You felt soo smart and great every time. Today you just feel cheated.

[@Amagoya76]

this game and H.E.R.O. was my favourite

[@davebaggerman894]

Just hearing the intro gives me chills. Beautiful memories.

[@OneBuccaneer]

Conceptually really cool game. Quick run through all levels backwards as intro. The minimap showing the overall progress. The wall climbing dude as time limit. And a classic story ;-)

[@Johnno9989]

I never did get Quasimodo to rescue Esmeralda.

[@nowhereman5760]

Johnno9989 I never either 😢

[@predabcn]

El mejor juego de la historia, el grandísimo HUNCHBACK! junto a Jungle Hunt y el Moon Cresta, lo mejor que se ha creado jamás!

[@snickaLFC]

Todays the day the, erm... Hunchbacks have their picnic? Strange song choice. Love them game though.

[@alisonorland6827]

I loved this game! Who knew you could get through it so quickly. I never knew how it ended lol

[@Hologhoul]

Great memories! A friend had this on his shiny new C64 (I was very envious), I seem to recall it took a while to load off tape!

[@YouBazinga]

A Commodore 64 classic. As a kid I spent so many afternoons and broke so many joysticks until I finished this game and Wizard of War :)

[@danieldeelite]

this game was my first skill issue. Played it for hundreds of hours

[@sopress]

Che fantastici ricordi.... io sono del 1979

[@christiaanjellesma1851]

great game,really dont know if i finished it but was nice to play but also frustrating back in the days

[@libman2006]

Thanks for proving to me I'm not mad. I was sure I used to play this on the Sinclair Spectrum all those years ago but until now have never found any mention of it. I could never get past the first screen with the guys with the spikes but for a 5 year old that's not bad I don't think.

[@marcoc7457]

I played with this game....remember me the time of my kindness....

[@jmp01a24]

3:00 This game is 🤬 impossible. I get so mad every time those crusaders pike poke me dead.

[@deanharrison162]

30 seconds to load back in the day..good game

[@JetsetMiner]

I suppose the biggest question is… why is the tune "Teddy bear's picnic"?

[@LeeCarl1974]

First game I EVER played on a Commodore 64!!!!!!!!!!11

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

C64 pwoned all back in the day! I miss mine! Load"$",8,1 RUN

[@MarcS4R]

Amazing...

[@MarkVegaX]

Oh man. I used to play this game alot, and now I can't find a reason why... nice play. That game is freaking hard.

[@jeeperscreepers8902]

I liked Bc's Quest for Tires. I remember beating Bc's, Beachhead, and Bruce Lee on the c64.

[@pianoman74]

Perfectly played dude! Now try EXPERT mode :) This is what follows next to the MY HERO sequence! This is really tough.

[@AppnewsandreviewsTV]

Absolutely loved this game on the commodore 64! So many hours spent playing after school. Have been searching for a modern replacement and there's a game called "The Rescue" in the iTunes AppStore that brings back the memories... check it out!

[@JLennonOno]

This game costs me a lot of joysticks. Especially the levels 11 and 13. Well done dude, u lost no life.

[@kernzyp]

sweet play dr!!

[@love2register2]

this game & "The Human Race" = two-way tie for most infuriating games in history.

[@modder1975]

I add 'Aztec challenge' as well:)

[@gtowngtown1601]

Well made game this.

[@Kurt271182]

Fantastico!!!

[@justsignmeup911]

Thanks for the video... I never beat this game as a kid.

[@ronhoek69]

Only 6 minutes? In my memory it was 6 months.

[@ShotTower1]

I loved this game

[@chubbybrown4real]

I spent days on this as a kid lol

[@ripxkid]

Much better than arcade

[@dr.ignacioglez.9677]

I LOVE C64 👍🥂🎩

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

oops! I meant Load"$",8,1 Return

[@Simon0]

vize the imposter is one of the toughest fights in the game.

[@jmp01a24]

4:18 on my last life - level start with shooting an arrow straight into my back. It's effing impossible.... Crush something and turn off computer in rage.

[@brianbraddock2010]

one of the best

[@verestamas3920]

Classic.

[@Herbarius]

@dmd185 Look out at ebay and you will propably be able to get a working C64 pretty cheap. Just don't buy the first one you find, be patient and observe, so you get a good deal. Then there are different possibilites to get games you download from the internet to play on your real C64, either using a cable to transfer them from your PC to real disks (cheap), or using one of the modern drives for the C64 that take SD cards (more expensive, but also easier, more reliable and shorter load times)

[@DonVic]

Does anyone know what song is that at the beginning?

[@nowhereman5760]

Victor Moncayo teddy bears picnic

[@coupleofelbows]

lol this was the second c64 game i ever played after Bruce Lee. Simple, fun, awesome.

[@johannwilder1437]

Bruce Lee was awesome game.

[@fabriziodigregorio2528]

Love

[@rano671]

Whas this actually the end? The c64 version that I have continues after the rescue of the princess...

[@frozen2558]

I remember playing a newer version of that game during 1999-2000.It was exactly the same with better grafics.Does anyone know anything?

[@Harold075]

I remember that rope was so difficult

[@Swedishmeatball1976]

I remeber this game.. I use datassette and I have big trouble to getting all my game to work..

[@cosine303]

dolphin dos or a fast loader fixed that ;-) . be thankful you didn't have atari 8 bit .. tape loading times , slow.. i'd set the game up 20 minutes before I wanted to play it (elektraglide.. amazing game.. ish loading time)

[@russellvick6756]

Coders incompetence the result is this. This is not C64 fault !

[@juanblat]

Me encanta 💓

[@marcellosinigalia1911]

Mitttico!!!! sì, io mi ricordo...

[@rokpogorelcnik9443]

I never finished that game

[@tiopappo]

pensar que estaba semanas para jugarlo y aca lo terminan en 5 minutos jajajajaja

[@josh9point0]

The $ was for the directory, wasn't it ? You didn't need ,1 for the dir. AFAIR. You only needed it for loading the actual program, when used with a * And that was for you lucky disk drive owners! My bro & I had a datasette for many MANY years. So it was just LOAD and then next program on the tape came up, eventually!!!! Ghostbusters was 57 on the counter!!

[@LeonVerhulst]

Clocked twice in one gameplay

[@tomspice73]

i finished 2 times the levels

[@matthewpowell6516]

The purple four bells level Is easier then the two before it

[@ThuzzelBLS]

Sad, dudes crib just burned down

[@nibelung34343]

there was a game like this called quasimodo revenge

[@abaddon75]

I can relate, i found this game more depressing than Bongo Bongo, definitely in the same mind numbing league as Aztec Challenge. Blue Max was a ton of fun compared to this ;)

[@OriginalThisAndThat]

5 minutes for playing it thru would be a kind of disappointment for nowaday standards.. :P

[@serdaryalcn7449]

True, but it is hard, really hard. I could get only half of the game. And I really tried.

[@AMM-MMA]

That 5 minutes are usually 1h for a kid until you get skilled enough to do it faster. We had so many small games so after a week or so people play the same one again... Good old times

[@rokasb6907]

is that all there was to the game? @derschmu do you post videos any more? Superb channel, hope it stays live forever

[@danieldeelite]

new game+

[@trouby]

now i know how it work - i made a similar music remix video from it.

[@djonas79]

If you go down to the woods today You're sure of a big surprise. If you go down to the woods today You'd better go in disguise! For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain, Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic. Picnic time for Teddy Bears The little Teddy Bears are having A lovely time today. Watch them, catch them unawares, And see them picnic on their holiday. See them gaily gad about. They love to play and shout, They never have any care; At six o'clock their Mommies and Daddies Will take them home to bed, Because they're tired little Teddy Bears Every Teddy Bear who's been good Is sure of a treat today. There's lots of marvelous things to eat And wonderful games to play. Beneath the trees where nobody sees They'll hide and seek as long as they please 'Cause that's the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic. Picnic time for Teddy Bears The little Teddy Bears are having A lovely time today. Watch them, catch them unawares, And see them picnic on their holiday See them gaily gad about They love to play and shout, They never have any care; At six o'clock their Mommies and Daddies Will take them home to bed, Because they're tired little Teddy Bears. If you go down to the woods today, You'd better not go alone! It's lovely down in the woods today, But safer to stay at home! For ev'ry bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain, because Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic. Picnic time for Teddy Bears The little Teddy Bears are having A lovely time today. Watch them, catch them unawares, And see them frolic on their holiday. See them gaily gad about They love to play and shout, They never have any care; At six o'clock their Mommies and Daddies Will take them home to bed, Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.
