Les aventures de Carlos - Quick Look - Atari ST

[@retropuffer2986]

I thought for a large sprite character it was animated pretty good.

[@gearsofgames]

Yeah, especially like the bull transformation!

[@shafeq786786]

Rather obscure title, great to see such titles exist, another cracking video as always !

[@gearsofgames]

Curious if this was published outside of France…

[@Larry]

The cartoon was released outside of France, but it was renamed "Around the world in 80 dreams". I have no recollection of it's airing in the UK though. So if it did, it was dumped on one of the satellite channels.

[@gearsofgames]

Ah yeah, saw that title somewhere when I was searching for info. So maybe the game was released outside France too...

[@goddessesstartrekonlinefle3061]

Thanks! Nice hidden Gem here. Really like the feel of the game. In my memory of the ST, French game developers made some amazingly good games (Loriels was one I recall from back in the day, but there where a few).

[@gearsofgames]

Yeah, so many solid French games! Often the best looking ST games too, back in the day.

1994 was so late to release a commercial game on the Atari ST. Funny game.

[@gearsofgames]

Yeah, the ST market was pretty dead in 94. But maybe the French one was still going strong, the ST seems to have been very popular there...

[@JoanOrfila]

I remember this cartoon. When I saw the game for ST I thought that i had an annoying flipping scroll, it’s a shame that it didn’t use a decent horizontal scrolling in… 1994! For god sake. On the other hand the graphics are cool and colourful, but as you say it’s too slow and quiet, it needs more enemies, action and things to do. Everything is there, they only need to develope it a bit more.

[@Ian45968]

It's certainly a very quiet game, I wasn't sure if there were any sound effects at first.

[@gearsofgames]

Yeah, some music would have been nice!

[@francoism1926]

So, the game is based on a cartoon whose main character is an animated version of a real person, a very popular French singer of funny children songs (big bisous…) and this very real person is the son of a famous (TV & radio personality) children psychologist! Quite the lineage…

[@gearsofgames]

I think I missed to mention that the character was indeed based on a real person. Thanks for all the extra info!

[@IntoTheVerticalBlank]

Nice little colorful well made game!

[@gearsofgames]

It is, just need some more gameplay and some ingame music.

[@ArttuTheCat]

The animation on the Atari ST and Amiga is pretty cool 😺👍🕹️. The gameplay 🕹️ seems kinda FATTY 😹!

[@gearsofgames]

Carlos does take up a lot of space 😁

[@ilmestdavisque5391]

I didn’t think that the singer-comedian Carlos had been known outside of France ... But how did you come across this video game from 30 years ago? : )

[@gearsofgames]

Never heard of him before, stumbled across the game recently on Atarimania and thought it looked nice.

[@DazAu78]

Looks nice, but the game seems like it plays boring. I appreciate you bringing bad games to our attention. Thank you

[@gearsofgames]

Yeah, it is a bit dull. But who knows, maybe something interesting happens on the later stages!
