The 10 Best Commodore 64 Psytronik Games - In Order Of Greatness

[@fulgenzio1973]

It's amazing that more than 40 years after the release of the 64 there are still heroes programming new games, it really is an immortal machine.

[@oldstylegaming]

true that mate and theres not a year goes by that we dont get a game that completely blows our minds on what the C64 was capable of

[@federicocatelli8785]

It was a hugely popular home computer at least in Europe

[@chrissymc886]

The fact people still make Megadrive games with the cartridge, box, artwork, manual etc is mad too. Not to mention translating a lot of Japanese only RPGs.

[@shieladixon]

I'm a better starter than finisher and I didn't expect you to review a game that I'd completed but there are two in the list. I couldn't get on with Hawksmill but I played both Rocky Memphis and Isle of Cursed Prophets to completion and loved both. This is a great list and it's good to see a few that I wasn't really aware of. Thanks OSG.

[@oldstylegaming]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@bjrnen8505]

Steel Ranger... What I really like , besides the gorgeous cardboard box and all, is that the game really benefits when using the SCPU and the IDE64. I wish more ganes would take advantage of these devices right out if the box. I spent hours with this game and loved every second of it. It's tine to fire it up again and maybe even complete it. Steel Ranger 2 might be coming in 2024. Fingers crossed.

[@TheHobbyLodge]

I own so many of their games this could easily be a top 20+ they have so many good ones I could add to this list. Great video mate and good to see you back.

[@bigstackD]

Great uploaded my friend, catch you next year 👊🏻😁🍻🍻🍻

[@oldstylegaming]

thanks for your continued views and comments, hope you have a great new year

[@jumhed994]

Love these videos, been binge watching over Christmas. A combination of great memories and amazement at the newer games and what modern programmers squeeze out of the ol' machine

[@Retro_B8]

Some of my favourite games ever made right there! Glad legend of Atlantis made it in there I absolutely love that game and the music!

[@leighpark3917]

Imagine if we had these back in the day 😮

[@oldstylegaming]

I know

[@richardm6332]

Congratulations🎉. Great video. when you consider how far computers and consoles have developed it's brilliant that people still have a love for the old C64 and are creating such fantastic games. Happy New Year.🎉

[@oldstylegaming]

you too mate hope its a good one

[@duhmez]

Where to find these games? A have huge collection butmost of these missing.

[@twankistevenson3884]

GG and congrats on the win

[@daniellomblock6216]

Welcome back! Excellent video as usual. A couple others I would have included in the list but alas there's only room for 10!

[@oldstylegaming]

which others?

[@daniellomblock6216]

@@oldstylegaming I did like Soulless 2 a bit better than the original but I can see where you're coming from - the original is still the original! Loved the 2023 version of Polar Bear which is a lot more playable than the 2021 original. Hope they release the black edition soon because that supposedly has new music too. Also thought MW Ultra was great, though Hessian and Steel Ranger are still a tad better, you're right. Can't go wrong with Lasse! Great list either way and I can definitely agree with it!

[@fradd182]

So many great HQ titles, with modern design. Rocky and CO is especially intriguing to me, will get it soon.

[@oldstylegaming]

Rocky and Co is a good puzzle platform game, sort of reminds me of Benefactor on the Amiga a bit.

[@pnvgordinho]

Cool games. Happy holidays.

[@Wondermooses]

Nice list! And congratulations on the winning!

[@oldstylegaming]

thanks mate :-)

[@gaborszabo6406]

I wish you a fantastic New Year!

[@oldstylegaming]

And to you mate

[@Lucasrainford]

A fine collection of great looking games! Never played any of em! I see they're all mostly newish titles, was there no classic Psytronik from the 90's that would've made the cut? I have 18 games by Psytronik but again I ain't played any of em, I don't have any you've shown here so I'll check em out. Great vid m8

[@LevitatingCups]

C64 sprites have really, distinct flavour to them, perhaps its the colour palette.

[@jumhed994]

It is the colour palette, but also the pixels are wider than they are tall.

[@oldstylegaming]

^^^^^^^ what he said :-)

[@DeNappa]

Look like great games, I really like that there are still people pushing that old chip set to its limits haha.

[@tchall6195]

Congrats on your victory!! 👍

[@oldstylegaming]

Thanks mate.... its sad really that i want to win, but im soooooo competitive

[@20thcenturygamingc64]

I think I will spend time with 3 of these games. Great list.

[@mehere3013]

20th century gaming recommended this video, just grabbed the last 2 games from the usual places

[@gullpayne]

Great list 👍

[@BigJuffer]

Never played any of these, some cracking looking games

[@darrenchapman8917]

Hope some of these come to the evercade...even tho I hav some for my c64 👍

[@johnlancaster563]

thank you very much

[@oldstylegaming]

Thank you for watching mate hope you have a had a great xmas

[@talideon]

Better than Turrican 2 is high praise indeed!

[@oldstylegaming]

Mate, i dont say that lightly, i have been playing steel ranger for a while now and i always think.... "i actually think i like this more than turrican 2" its just so much more than you think when you first play it.

[@solo1870]

Why does 'guns n ghosts' never get no love?

[@oldstylegaming]

I like guns n ghosts, the music is awesome but its a bit samey after a while

[@grumpyoldgeezr]

You forgot the best.. the epic MW Ultra.

[@oldstylegaming]

Nah i had that in the protovision video, so i decided only to do games that were psytronik only for this one

[@fradd182]

a

[@oldstylegaming]

oh thats so kind of you but you really dont have to :-)
