C64 Longplay - Raid On Bungelin Bay (HQ)

[@zaphod77]

The awesome part about this game is that the newspaper article is accurate. It tells you how many choppers were lost, how damaged the carrier was, if it got sunk, etc. It even counts as a win if you crash your final chopper onto the final factor and destroy it. and the newspaper will note that as well.

[@ianthomas3653]

Had this on the old commodore 64. Took about 25 mins to load, but when it did.... well back in 1987 it was awesome. never beat it but spent many days scrambling through my homework so that I could play this.

[@CosmoEnterres]

With a Speeddos+ bios it takes less time :D

[@THE_CHOAS_ENGINE]

If you just said fuck it to the homework you would have beat this game... or get good enough that you could decimate everything and bomb the battle ship before it's completion but not destroy it let it rebuild again rinse and repeat. Loved hanging around runways killing pesky jets.

[@Wiggy74]

Cosmo Enterres I would use Fast Hack’em to load my games on my 64C

[@Kellerkind80]

Then buy a floppy disc drive and throw your Datasette drive away you noob.

[@zzodr]

I never bombed while stationary, always did a circle near the factories and dropped the bomb while over it. Too worried about getting killed by those damned heat seekers.

[@Andros2709]

You can do it relatively safely on the first two factories, after which the circling strategy becomes advised.

[@WinrichNaujoks]

The smooth omnidirectional scrolling is just amazing!

[@rikk319]

I remember stumbling into reloading bombs at the enemy airfields, and feeling like I'd discovered an amazing secret. If you weren't damaged, it was worth it and saved a ton of time. I would take any spare bombs left over from a run and bomb the battleship to slow its construction, though. That thing was mean when completed.

[@danielr5185]

You made this game look easy, back in the 80s my brothers and I devoted many hours for this game and never completed it! 😁

[@nevermindmyname9153]

I seem to recall there being a deadly Battleship to take on in this.

[@UrbanTiger74]

Same! LMAO!!! But it was so much fun.

[@beeman2075]

This still holds up pretty well decades later as a neat little helicopter strategy game. I enjoyed playing this game quite frequently in the late 80's.

[@brianbooker8724]

Remember playing this on the C64 as a teenager.

[@txmetalhead82xk]

I am geeking out over this video! I remember being so excited watching the intro video So amazing!

[@manofsan]

We used to play this game while playing the Airwolf theme music in the background, since the game had no background music of its own. When the missiles would chase us, we'd let off a bomb to blow up the pursuing missile, like it was a sunburst. Pretty fun game from Broderbund.

[@brucecamp4448]

This game's editor is the inspiration for Sim City.

[@u.sprotectionsecurityservi2945]

This is way better then the nintendo version by far !!!!

[@Hungryman97]

I always wondered why an enemy landing pad could resupply your bombs.

[@phj9894]

Hungryman97 you are stealing bombs from enemy base.

[@raakone]

If that airport uses some kind of automatic bomb reload mechanism....that may explain it (and the other airport does things old school, so no way you can land there!)

[@holytiramisu]

Via "gentle persuasion "

[@richardwicks4190]

I never realized you could even land on land. Took me what... 35 years to find that out??

[@Andros2709]

It's simple, you have some insiders who work for you. 😀

[@mr.pavone9719]

And this is where EA got the idea for Desert Strike and everything that followed.

[@cmed9680]

absolutely spot on.... this game was way ahead of it's time, I personally still rate it as the best game on c64, considering age / quality / intelligence

[@CosmoEnterres]

Ahahahaha - after decades i noticed that you can reload bombs not only on the carrier :/ :D:D:D

[@swedehog]

Aha... the memories!

[@CaponeAl36]

Note, it's "Bungeling Bay", not "Bungelin Bay" I remember the first time beating this. What a great feeling!

[@minnesotajames1]

I used to let the battleship get built so I could sink it.

[@lexiondubs1411]

Me too 😂😂

[@scottthompson9720]

This game was IT back in the early 80s before NES. lol. Nice share!!!!

[@RoolfusFreunde]

I remember. I loved this game.

[@richardwicks4190]

I never realized you cold stock up on bombs landing on LAND - I thought you had to go back to your ship!

[@robbatenburg8072]

Love the game my favorite

[@likeavirgile]

Wow, I've been looking for that game for ten years now. its from will wright? amazing! great game!

[@magicmulder]

This is one of those muddied memories where I was convinced the games called Raid OVER Bungeling Bay (but I probably mixed it up with Raid Over Moscow).

[@bobbybeast1000]

Now THAT is what all c64 game ending should be like !!!!!!

[@chrisd6762]

this was my absolute favorite c64 game. I am disappointed that you didn't take out the battleship. that was my favorite part.

[@raakone]

I know....the first "boss" I ever saw in a video game (ok, and also those in Ghosts and Goblins on the C64).....the Battleship was no pushover.

[@funkydung.]

loved this game

[@suparjerk]

Once having been shot to >100% damage, it is possible to crash your heli into a factory to damage/destroy it. It is possible to simultaneously lose your last life and beat the game this way. You'd get a newspaper but no parade.

[@highjim7778]

man i remember playing this, i called it raid on bunglalunga bay

[@quadturbo4]

So Will Wright made this game. Some years later, he would go on to make SimCity. Notice how the buildings in this game are seen from above. I think it gave him some ideas...

[@raakone]

I read they made customized software to design the world in this game, and then Will Wright started playing around with it, and it inspired.....Sim City!

[@lexiondubs1411]

I love sim city and this game I played when I was a kid on the c64

[@lkjyuiop1987]

It's so funny that I can find dumb shit from my childhood on KZbin like this game I remember playing the shit out of this one

[@DrownedInExile]

I'd love to see a modern version of this. Nothing too extravagant, throw in some more strategic-management. Destroying the enemy radar and comm-infrastructure will make enemy response more sluggish. You can fly low to avoid enemy aircraft, but then you're in danger of infantry small-arms. Repairing/rearming your chopper takes some in-game time, so you have to switch choppers. If your carrier gets attacked, your inactive choppers will scramble. So it's in your best interest to keep your chopper fleet in full repair, and time your attacks on the enemy factories. Bonus objectives: you can airlift Marines to capture enemy munitions depots. That will allow you to resupply in the field, but they won't be able to hold those positions for long! Be prepared to air-evac them out. And lastly, you have option to destroy civilian targets. The Bungeling Empire has no qualms about housing civilians near their war-factories. Attacking will slow overall enemy response and Battleship-construction. But that constitutes a war crime. Do so only if you're desperate, or you're just a really bad guy.

[@visioneerone]

I don't think I ever beat this. Didn't realize you could land and rearm at teh airfields !! Sinking the battleship was fun, though :)

[@drrobert7543]

Did the enemy’s tactics advance over time, or as you destroyed factories? E.g. progression to enemy fighters, bombers attacking your carrier, guided missiles? And the first couple factories took less than a full bomb load, but the later ones took at least one refill. The one thing I remember was strictly a matter of time was the enemy battleship, and I usually would bomb that while under construction.

[@michaelcatlett8979]

somehow I remember the ending as slightly more epic. It was a struggle to beat if I remember so perhaps it was more just the emotional triumph at the time to finally have beaten the darn thing.

[@darknewt1634]

Wow I was 15 and my elder brother told me that the battle was lost, I was getting further than him.... suckered me so I wouldn't beat him...

[@Dac719]

I notice there's only one round in this version of ROBB. In the NES version, there are many rounds (don't know how many there are).

[@drrobert7543]

This game was much harder than you made it look!

[@FrogmortonHotchkiss]

6:29 Phew!

[@sergito2040]

mmm I had this game on my old nes I never finish it since I could defence the carrier

[@v.valdiofficial7035]

"Attacco alla baia" is the italian version

[@raakone]

This was awesome playing. Just curious though, did you have any hack or something? I ask because I didn't see any heatseakers until down to the last factory, with me, as soon as the counter got to 3, out they came!

[@devnull73]

The game that inspired simcity

[@jovovichnik]

I completed this and waited for the victory parade... but there was nothing. Maybe it was just because mine was the tape version.

[@raakone]

How many lives did you have when you won?

[@PsykoFeen]

the sound effects are hideous but it actually looks pretty fun!

[@Xredator]

looks like sim city on c64

[@aaronwebb2467]

Will Wright made this game. It turned out he had more fun with the level editor for the game and made it into the original simcity game on c64

[@Type03xx]

For people who love spicy curry! (Gintama fan will get this joke)

[@squat666]

I own this game, it's about 10 feet from me. Might sell for a good price

[@WarpOverload]

You still have it? If not, *I WANT IT.*

[@Mrster]

So this is where Sim City started. gamehistory.org/simcity/

[@bigglesmcg]

Those respawning AA guns really annoyed me....
