C64 Longplay - Master Of The Lamps

[@jonhare4509]

For me the most memorable music in any computer game... the whole vibe is so trippy and the whole execution was so slick for the time.... absolutely love it.

[@CandyHatsuneWolff]

As a kid, I had a tradition of playing this every New Year's Eve.

[@RFrancisSmith]

Came here because randomly had song stuck in my head as happens after uh nearly 40 years huh

[@natehans1832]

Came here for the same reason! 😂

[@jeffamerican5628]

Same thing just happened to me

[@RokkitGrrl]

I absolutely how they reused the ring sequence in their Aliens game during the dropship sequence. Even the music is similar.

[@blarghblargh]

Russell Lieblich. Remember that first carpet song (at 0:55) from when it was included in Little Computer People. None of the videos on the net seem to have that music play on the record player for some reason. Maybe just luck of the RNG? Really was funny seeing an old man boogie down to that when I was an 8 year old kid. Probably gonna be me when I'm 70, TBH.

[@keithlegg]

I almost snapped the handle off my joystick playing this game on those super tight turns.

[@lurkerrekrul]

Something I found helpful for the flying sequences; Don't aim for the first "ring" that's right in front of you, aim for the one after that. Unfortunately, I was never able to finish this game. I could make it up to where the colors disappear and it was just musical notes, but no further. I don't have a musical ear, so I had absolutely no chance of correctly identifying each note. It was hard enough to remember all the colors on the higher levels.

[@raymondkuijpers2549]

Love this game Was adicted the moment it came out. But i was not able to play it to the end It's nice to read the in 2023 this game has still fans. So you see how modern this game was with sound and grafix wenn it came out

[@davidzurkinden]

I loved this Game when i was a Child. The Music is still awesome.

[@revlura]

I miss this old game and my C54!

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

The musical tune copy part of the game was quite the challenge to me when I first got my C64 because I had it hooked up to a black and white television! Not impossible but VERY tricky.

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

Interesting how he used sprites for the diamonds until they get too big then they become character gfx, that's what I love about old game hardware! Going around the limitations in creative ways

[@dapadau]

Finally found this game! Tried for years at some intervals find the name out, describe it, but finally :D This was so amazing..

[@aprilstarchild79]

The music is amazing!

[@Craig-xw7ff]

I remember playing this game in 1985 in Juneau AK. USA. I played it primarily for that wonderful music. :-))

[@winge-dogjones2492]

I Wish they would remake this game as it is such a good game with a cool soundtrack.

[@TamasKalman]

it's 2020 and i'm listening to a game music i listened to 35 years ago.

[@parthoroy9141]

Best soundtrack to any C64 game back in the 1980's

[@lonewretch]

Someone needs to load up unreal and make this for VR. Just using your head to navigate the tunnel.

[@michelkeijzers]

I always loved the music of this game. The game was on the first cassette tape I ever had for the commodore 64.

[@notyetdone]

3x yrs later... never thought i see the ending back then. awesome, thanks.

[@nickelindimer]

Oh-man... It's been years since I've seen this, and the first time I did was sadly also the last. Thank-you so for posting this!

[@deejayatari]

I always wanted to think that the creator of this game. had a great trip incredible astral or dream in which he was flying in the outer space.

[@astrayamatu]

brings back memories the song man on man

[@BuenoExcellente123]

could never get to the end. finally the ending sequence! :)

[@vars666]

My favourite game ever

[@Freddyfan1428]

Anyone else wondering if this is what inspired the dreadful Superman 64 on the Nintendo 64? Can't help but be reminded of it with the flying through rings. Awesome sound in this game though!

[@UkuleleHungary]

This music is simply fantastic!

[@duanekimball]

I can't tell you how many times my joystick went flying after I crashed on the C64

[@halvardlundnorway]

When they made games like this in the 80s - then I just wonder what the iphone is really for. Has any games been as fun as this on a touch screen ?

[@lonewretch]

Nope... games on touch screens are made for people with little to no attention span and need to be spoon fed incentives.

[@MultiBRETTER]

For some odd reason, I had to search the net for this game today. Even though I haven't seen it since early 80's, I remember playing it like it was yesterday.

[@dryerlint17]

One of a kind !!!! use to love this as a kid. Great music!

[@volkankacan184]

Fuck i played this ..30;years ago..that music

[@AlanPostScript]

thanks for the upload. another game I could get nowhere on. favorite track is #3 with that cool little flutey riff.

[@DavidRomigJr]

The version given to me as a kid didn’t have the 2nd to last carpet ride song, and when I caught the final genie the game ended with a picture of a crown instead of one last ride and a picture of a palace. Don’t know why there was more than one version of this game for the C64. The rest was the same. Beside, I searched for the video for the music. :)

[@taniapomar6972]

beautiful computer game

[@ankhamon2057]

J'adore ce jeux, j'y ai joué sur l'Atari excellent souvenir !!!!!

[@lurkerrekrul]

Playing this game made me well-prepared for the first level of Activision's Aliens. My friend brought it over and said he couldn't get past the first part, the dropship. I loaded it up and easily passed it on the first try. :)

[@scottythegreat1]

They had a few designers on the Aliens game. I wonder who designed the dropship level and made the music for that level??

[@storminboy]

I watched this on mates c64 and bought it for my Amstrad. The music is amazing!! Activision did a great job even on the Amstrad version.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

That final flying carpet stage... YIKES!

[@ioloavatar8430]

I remember somehow they used this audio on little computer people project when the person used the record player .But seems differently on other videos ..Must of been a hack for northern western ny , Buffalo/ Toronto area as some one had .

[@blarghblargh]

Nope you're right. Absolutely had the same music. Apparently the composer was the same for both, Russell Lieblich. I didn't even know about this carpet game as a kid, and noticed it in the 8-bit guy's review for the c64 mini. Googled to make sure I was remembering correctly, that the music was also in LCP. And yeah, none of the KZbin vids I found seem to have this on the record player.

[@txinmetal]

I still have nightmares, in which I leave the diamond and die, great game of my childhood

[@anthonyleighton4754]

Iconic game ....

[@pascalwelter5315]

These were the golden times of good games. Nowadays its boring shit compared to tthat

[@DrMcFly28]

I used to play this on an old B&W CRT.... :(

[@Deifury]

I didn't know this game. It may have inspired Magic Carpet in the 90s.

[@PanacheDom]

Que de souvenirs ! :)

[@MmeDesgranges]

Awesome!

[@diggles28]

This guy has sick skills at MotL. As a kid, I think level 3 or 4 is highest I could get.

[@headmassster]

Im starting to love this game, dunno why maybe because of the magic carpet flight... its sooooo trippin!

[@kicksex]

Never played this one but it reminds me of Aliens right off the bat

[@Ndrw_82]

Does anybody know what is the backrground story of the game? Whos is the little guy and iping guy, etc.? Maybe an alternate version of Aladdin tale?

[@anthonyleighton4754]

Groovy sound track....try playing it on a black and white telly ....for a challenge....

[@zaphod77]

This is the original. It sounds a bit off because the game was coded for NTSC and it's on an emulator. It's the best version, bar none. Nothing else comes close to it.

[@screwthenet]

That was bzarre but cool. I got StarFox Vibes

[@UkuleleHungary]

Totally agreed! :)

[@DasTarD]

What is playing between 0:00 and 0:02

[@Fischdose1]

Gut gespielt. Wie hast du dir die letzten Töne gemerkt? Da wurden ja keine Farben mehr angezeigt.

[@robertcroxtonjr2025]

how do you play master of the lamps? that's the most difficult game ever.

[@cintulator2]

Lsd?

[@dryerlint17]

@MrWrecche Download an emulator and play it ! Goto gb64.com its free !

[@lonewretch]

What?? I was here 9 years ago? How... I don't even have a time machine... oO

[@leorivas]

Without a doubt, the graphical gaming capabilities of the C64 were far superior to those of the Atari XL series, but, the music, I think, sounds a lot better on the Atari, maybe because of the 4 voices instead of 3 of the SID.

[@Ialidman]

someone did :) google infinityboost

[@sgt.vernex6378]

music is better on the atari 400 and 800 computer

[@atariandre5014]

so sloooooooooow on the C64.....NTSC A8 flies circles around this...

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

Sheeeit, the atari version is pretty good but this one has better music even with 1 less channel and an actual end sequence.

[@zaphod77]

Better on NTSC c64. :)
