C64 Longplay - Winter Games

i must have fallen down 10,000 times playing that friggin figure skating segment

[@stephenmcconnell1000]

If I was ever in a particularly vile mood as a kid I would occasionally make her fall repeatedly throughout the entire routine, just to see her inexplicably anticipating an award of anything above the 0.0 that she would ultimately be served with.

Wanna sell it?

Sometimes I adore the pixel graphics of older games more than the polished high quality graphics of todays games.

[@nonkl8819]

it's literally pixel by pixel handmade art, nowadays it's just about shaping a model

Me too!! Those games were more fun

[@lindapirie7021]

I prefer the pixel graphics too.

[@lcc6744]

I was obsessed with the song from the freestyle skate event!!! Thank you for sharing this. My brother and I played this for days on end.

[@puckaroo11]

Yes!! Another amazing Commodore gem. My brother and I played this, Summer Games, World Games, and Caveman Ugh-lympics on solid rotation. It was also how I learned the flags and national anthem of countries as a kid! ;)

[@caras2004]

Also Super Bowl Sunday

[@Wacholder]

A definite classic. We used to play this for hours.Oh, fond memories. Still a "must play" every xmas season...

Die heutigen "Programmierer" wären völlig damit überfordert, so viel Programm auf so wenig Speicherplatz unterzubringen. Ich sage nur: "dBASE III" (das Excel hoch 10!!!) auf eine blaue 5 1/4 Zoll-Diskette zu packen, dies war echte Kunst! Ich will nicht ausrechnen wie viele hunderte Stunden ich damals WinterGames gespielt habe :-) Danke für das hochladen! ProgrammDisketten habe ich noch, aber den C64 habe ich nicht mehr :-)

[@wolfwing1]

I remember how much I loved the music for the figure skating

[@d.b.3020]

Wenn ich hin und wieder meinen guten alten C64 aus dem Schrank hole und starte wird auch immer ne Runde Winter, Summer oder n anderes Games gezockt.Super Video!

[@mikecronis]

There's a fun glitch in this game where during the Figure Skating event, if you crash/kneel immediately and constantly, you'll get a perfect score.. possibly due to the permanent damage on the crushed knee bones or a negative 1 yields a score-wrap? You be the judge.

[@nsejita]

OMG we had that! My younger cousin, about 4-5 years old at the time, insisted he wanted to play, and his round consisted of him falling constantly. He got a perfect score, and nobody was able to replicate the glitch. 30 years later it's his initials still set up as the highest score.

[@analcommando1124]

@D W same. I think I just got frustrated with the figure skating because no matter what I did i'd get a sub 5 score so I just made her kneel for the whole time. I think there were 2 figure skating events. Not sure if this worked on both.

[@Renville80]

Certainly a nice trip down memory lane seeing this. I’m glad I at least had the 1541 disk drive to go with my breadbox C64; while still slow compared to today’s hard drives, it was a good deal faster than tape.

[@PatPakken]

We played this so much as kids. ‘88 winter games was good too but I kinda enjoyed this one more. Would love to be able to play this now.

I remember that if you deliberately continuously fell over during the first figure skating event, you'd automatically receive full points due to a bug.

He is playing Biathlon like I did. Full steam ahead! :D Though he can't play Ski Jump worth a damn. Just once he scored over 200 points. However, I couldn't get the hang of 10 points in Hot Dog, so he got me beat there. ;) Wonderful video! Keep it up. :)

[@drrobert7543]

I never really figured out how to get a good score in the figure and free skate. I could do all the moves and stick the landings without falling but I never knew what made one routine a 3.2 and another a 5.8.

[@thomasheinlein3120]

To get a perfect score in the free skate you need to do the following . every single move 3 times . your take offs and landings need to be perfect. Front axle moves need to be taken off with legs apart. Backward moves like the klutz are to be done with legs together.
