Zorro Playthrough (Atari XL/XE)

[@compuserveuser2779]

I played this at my cousin's house on his Atari XE when I visited Poland from the USA for summer vacation. I remember having to play outside while it loaded from the cassette because it took what seemed like eternity. This was a big step down from what I was used to on the NES, but it was so engaging. I loved it, but I never did beat it. I remember being rejected by the damsel because I didn't bring her the rose.

The music was determined to drive you insane.

[@eng3d]

That and the catacomb level

[@chazbrennan9632]

@@eng3d AAAAA It's just the same thing at half-speed.

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

Didn't bother me, I'm a bat.

[@napalmhardcore]

Thanks for the upload. This makes me feel so nostalgic I almost want to cry :)

[@Al99NextGeneration]

Ah yes. The 80s video games. Figuring out all this stuff ourselves was so rewarding 🙂

[@GatoNephist]

Ah, finally I got to see how this game ends. :) I used to play it a lot when I was a kid, but never managed to get through the tomb. ...it cracks me up how you come to save the lady and she just pushes you off the building unless you bring her a flower XD

[@borbob]

If you don't take the handkerchief she will slap you in the face lol

[@simonxmathews]

I gotta say, that’s a really catchy tune! ❤

[@HensleyDon]

Boy does that bring back memories!! [Smile] I got to where I could clear level one pretty well every time, but once into level two it was over with pretty quick. I've still got my system packed away upstairs: 800XL w/128K upgrade, ICD Multio (hard disk controller, IBM printer port, modem connection & 512K ramdisk) running SpartaDos. Besides the cassette it has a 9600 baud Hayes, Atari XF551, an Atari XF551 with 3 1/2" 720K conversion and a 1050XL floppy with the Super Archiver/US Doubler upgrade. The Cherry on Top was my ICD 48M SCSI hard drive. [Big Grin] Bear in mind that my professor (who hired me when he found out I was doing things on a "Toy Computer" that is customers weren't able to do on their office computers) had only one customer at the time he hired me (1988) that was using an HD bigger than 21M (an 80M SCSI for their Novell server). At that time they had the choice of two colors as long as one was Black. ;) When I proved to him that I could put 256 colors on the screen at one time (using an 8 or 10 line Basic program from _Analog_ or _Antic_ ) he offered me a job. I even got to do my Basic and Pascal programming assignments at home on my own system... It was a chance to experience a lot for almost 4 years. Once it quit being fun I went back to factory work. I've been enjoying checking out your Playthroughs. Our oldest son & I spent many, many nights on Goonies. :) Great channel! I've subbed, for sure.

[@LSiwik]

I absolutely love this game. Add Karateka, Bruce Lee, Goonies and Gremlins and you got my 5 top favorite atari games.

[@JS-os5bl]

The Goonies were one of the scariest Atari games I've ever played.

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

@@JS-os5bl The Goonies game, just like the film, was superb.

[@JaneDoe-rj4jn]

Next to leisure suit Larry, this was one of my first puzzle solving adventure games. I remember playing this over and over trying to figure things out as a 10 year old. Keeping in mind this was before internet and looking up tips and tricks! I was so proud when I solved it. I also vividly remember thinking these were some of the most advanced 3-D graphics I had seen. Lol

[@drfistface]

I remember playing this game when I was like 5 years old. I never got past the well- and I can now see why- I can also see that even if I did it would not have helped. Games were never supposed to be this complicated back then- this is like Kings Quest type complexity in an action game- it is absurd. Thank you for posting

[@Diego_Aracena_Kovacevic]

- please, don`t rescue me unless you bring me flowers, ok?? - ok. by the way, would you like some perfume too....bitch??

[@auca]

A mi este juego me encantaba, esta muy bien para ser de 1985, me dieron ganas de jugarlo otra vez, Datasoft siempre hizo juegos de calidad

[@pawelkowaluk]

I had no idea how to beat this game when I was a child. Thanks for sharing!

[@JCsChannel]

Thanks for the visit!

[@tobiaszbimbalski5258]

Ja też, pamiętam stałem w martwym punkcie...

[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

I wasn't aware of the Atari version.

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

Music that would induce insanity.

[@Palparepa]

IIRC, there is no need to pass through the catacombs twice. At the end, just continue to where the money bags indicate, and you open a shortcut to reach the final catacomb screen through the well.

[@JS-os5bl]

This was my father's favourite Atari computer game back in the days. Mine was Zybex.

[@JCsChannel]

Also a very good game.

[@Alleycat___]

@@JCsChannel draconus/alley cat and henry house were so good too

[@bartek8309]

@JS My pop's fav game was Montezuma's Revenge (The Utopia version, not Parker bros's)

[@JS-os5bl]

@@bartek8309 Yeah, man. That could have been My favourite Atari game too, if it WAS only complete! To the best of my memory, either version was, and is, to this day, a 'mutilated' copy of what was released instead, called 'Preliminary Monty' or so. Still playable and ejoyable, though.

[@JS-os5bl]

@@Alleycat___ 'Draconus' kind of resembles 'Zybex', very closely. But it's too difficult to complete w/out a map.

[@MarekDenko3D]

oh maan this music, I remember hearing this over and over in the sleep while I was grinding this game... TOXIC :D

[@tims7250]

Goonies, Bruce Lee & Zorro were ♠️ on 800xl

[@Smith6265]

Omg Do you know how much trouble I got in for playing this game as a kid, My grandparents would literally catch me up at 2am playing it,love this game so much.🤩

[@JCsChannel]

Worth it.

[@OlgierdSnieszko]

Zorro, Goonies and Quasimodo. I still play them once a year. And still can finish first two without cheating. :-)

[@JCsChannel]

Old school.

[@zazzozazzini8559]

El primer juego que me hizo pensar , todos eran matar y matar , despues el Goonies otro juegazo

[@cristiangrunt]

lo ponian a uno a pensar y usar la logica

[@Tulbia]

It has so many locations. WOW! :D

[@JCsChannel]

It's an awesome game.

[@jayamor100]

Me too, time flys by so fast!

[@isaacmonardes4705]

[@jasonpaulelder]

I don't think I ever saw this back then. I had the Bruce Lee game, which I played often. This looks to be the same structure, essentially. (I don't know which came first.) Thanks for posting it.

[@JCsChannel]

Glad you liked it.

[@TanCoyer]

spent hours playing this! didnt remember the music being so awful lol, had to mute it on the vid! dont think i ever beat the game, but defo got further than i thought, i remember the bells , and the branding iron, the trumpet etc, dunno how i ever worked any of it out tbh lol looking back now tho what crap it was haha

[@John-uc6gb]

Played this when it first came out. Cool

The music stopped me playing this, after 5 minutes I couldn't stand it any more!

But of an Alley Cat ending there, Zorro.
