Some pretty fun C64 classics in this one. That Waterski 3D game does remind me old school driving games too - simple but enjoyable. Knights Games has a lot to like about it, very cool to see! Some I haven't played here but looks like a really fun lineup!

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Thanks! It's was a good floppy selection.

[@ThomaniacsRetrogamingZone]

Have Neoclyps on tape. It's really cool!. I remember playing Knight games by mashing buttons 'till the oponent has lost. 😀

[@FloppyDeepDive]

That sound right! Just mash away! lol

[@Aegelis]

Knight Games!!! I forgot about that one, so much fun, so much teh frustrationz. Ah Dragon's Lair ports, never fails to disappoint. I played on "what's on that floppy" a lot, since my father and friends would hand me unlabelled or non-descriptive disks en masse with games on them to figure out what's what. Fun concept and really holds true for the day of not knowing what's on the disk for many of us.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Yep, those were the best; trying to figure out how to play. Use those problem-solving skills to this day

[@toby01019]

Knight Games. I played it so often. Look still great. Thank you for remembering.👍🏻

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Of course, that’s what we do around here! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@mondo8bit]

Knight Games is a Classic, and Escape from Singe’s Castle a milestone 😀. The other game reminds me of Siren City, one that I loved so much….! Tom, every video is better than the one before , you’re really doing great 😊👍. - Tony

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Thanks, Tony, that's what keeps it fun for me. I love learning new stuff and seeing how much the channel has evolved over the past 2 years. A lot more to come!

[@patsfan4life]

DL II was one of my all time faves and the levels are tough but fair and compelling. So much better than the DL port

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Agree!! DL II was my favorite of the group.

[@honkyvanwildebeest8926]

Love these "what's on that floppy videos!"

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Awesome! Welcome to the channel and check out the playlist for all the videos!

[@C64_and_Amiga_Memories]

I dont mind the deep dive concept you've made. I played knight games and dragons lair back in the day. Always good against a human opponent for knight games. Dragon's lair i thought was surprisingly very good. The developers made a decent game that took the spirit of the arcade but changed it to a format that the computer could handle.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Thanks I’m glad you like it. Thanks for watching!

[@MegaasAlexandros]

The thing I like about it is that it's a original idea. Tom must have spent a huge part of his childhood on the C64 as he has hundreds of disk's which ensures we will be entertained for years to come should Tom continue to upload his stuff.

[@michaelzak6355]

Knight Games was one of the best for that system. I wish I still had my 64.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Time to pick one up again! Thanks for watching!

[@dennyhaynes3]

Great video as always Tom. Remember Escape from Singes castle so well and Neoclyps looks great to play. Great look through another disc 👍

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Thanks Denny!

[@westmcgee9320]

6:25 I would’ve thought a review of something called “Dragon’s Lair” would at least referenced the visual expectations anyone would initially have, based on the groundbreaking & infuriating original.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Good point, it's my second video that I talked about it so I said different things.

[@LordmonkeyTRM]

Knight Games wasn't a budget title £8.95 for the cassette here in the UK on release.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Interesting, didn't know that. It was a budget game here. Thanks for watching! Hope you sub and stick around. Welcome to the community!

[@charlene2400]

Ocelot seriously needed a "bomb" function for the player, like Scramble had.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

That would be good!

[@charlene2400]

@@FloppyDeepDive maybe I'll hack one in. 😈

[@merman1974]

Interesting selection must admit I haven't played Neoclyps. As for Surf Champ, I had a thought watching this - if someone can get the measurements of the original, it would be possible to 3D print a new one!

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Yes when I do these dives the selection is all over the place. Whatever was out on the BBS to download at the time. I read people have 3d printed the board. Thanks for watching!

[@RandomBitzzz]

These are all new to me... and all of them look like they're worth a play (except maybe the surfing game). So now I gotta ask myself. Should I clean my garage today (as planed) or play some new C64 games. Your video productions keep getting better and better Tom. I like the multi camera thing you've got going along with your new graphics. The only critique I have to offer is that the audio level on your voiceover during the water ski game was a little low. Sometimes it was hard to hear you over the game.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

I appreciate the critique. I will work on the audio. Thanks for watching and glad you are noticing the changes. Always trying to be a little better each time.

[@Foebane72]

I notice you've got a C64 next to your Amiga 500, with the Atari 800XL on the other side. You DO know that the Atari 8-Bits are direct ancestors of the Amiga, both being developed by the legendary Jay Miner... right?

[@FloppyDeepDive]

I did read about Jay Miner, interesting how Commodore and Atari are so tied together.

[@markastoforoff7838]

I can guarantee you I never played any of these games on a C64, I had a friend who had a Vic-20 and played a couple of game on it but that was about my only experience with computer games until Windows 95 came out.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Bummer, thanks for watching!

[@kikencorp]

hey that Knight Games one looks pretty decent! The rest, not so much :P

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Lol, sometimes I have to put a bow on a turd. That’s the challenge! Thanks for watching!

[@FlightDreamz]

@7:39 WHAT game is that? Didn't catch the name (New York CIty?). The driver is Ed Ick but I don't know what driving game this is.... @10:44 Shame that surfboard is so difficult to figure out. Graphics are decent, could've been a good retrogame.

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Yep, New York City. I need to get a 3D printed surf board.

[@FlightDreamz]

@@FloppyDeepDive So the surf board you picked up on Flea Bay (I HATE EBay!) doesn't work so good? Pity that. Good luck on getting a newer, better, 3D printed copy...

[@buckeyechad1]

I like Knight Games actually

[@FloppyDeepDive]

Knight Games are great!

[@Sinn0100]

What? BBS's? Copying?! Haven't you heard the PSA and song about floppies? Don't coppy that floppy! ;)

[@FloppyDeepDive]

It was too late, it was already done. lol
