Wizball longplay (C64) [QHD]

[@towerbridge04]

One of my fave C64 games without question, and the audio is utterly mesmerising. That short Game Over ditty....genius.

[@gtowngtown1601]

One of the greatest, most original games ever made imo. Plus a brilliant soundtrack.

[@daibonehead]

incredible work by sensible and martin galway. one of the few c64 games i completed back in the day.

[@ArttuTheCat]

This is a legendary classic game 😺👍. I had it on my Commodore 64 as a tape version in a compilation called THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. This was also one of my older brother's first Amiga games, when we got our first Amiga 500 as a christmas present 🎁 back in the late 1980's. Me and my brother got TEN STAR PACK. I got... - THUNDERCATS - BUGGY BOY - THE ART OF CHESS - INSANITY FIGHT - TERRORPODS ...and my brother got... - AMEGAS - BARBARIAN: THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR - IKARI WARRIORS - MERCENARY - WIZBALL That was absolutely awesome christmas 😺👍🕹️. Also, Martin Galway composed an awesome retrospective music soundtrack 😺👍.

And the high score music. in my dreams, i’d have that played at my funeral with everyone forced to chant along.

I completed this without savestates and it's definitely satisfying when I did it way, way back. The game does have a short ending effect, nothing special but it does have one.

Looking at how most C64 games can be played through in an hour or two feels kinda depressing as I never managed to play through them as a kid. Granted that I didn't know any english at the time and these were the first electronic games I came into contact with, but still.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

I don't feel that bad about it because, admittedly, the vast majority of the games that I owned on C64 were pirated and didn't have any documentation to go along with them. And since almost all C64 games required documentation to understand how to play, there was zero chance of most adults figuring out how to play them, much less a six year old like me.

Damn it, if you did the levels in One take wothout dying once... YOU'RE GOOD

Posted August 24th, 2022? Marty, we have to go back!!

[@purplehaze2342]

I've loved video games for decades since the early 80's and still play thru emulation although nothing beats original hardware

[@EamonThePhilogynistWalford]

Another favourite of mine, Al, and very well played. 👍🙂

[@rimbaud0000]

Genuinely brilliant game with stunning music

[@giguyjoe]

The game that gave Platypus its theme.

[@deceiver444]

Absolute classic. The silly fab sequel on the Amiga really needs a longplay too.

[@Emulous79]

Funny how I'm currently working on a longplay for an Atari ST game in which the character is also a green ball. Didn't plan that.

[@therealkillac82]

wow.... dam this brings back so many memory's... This is my fav. all time growing up game.... Do anyone remember #Rags To Riches??? on #C64

[@MegaEldude]

Why isnt it bouncing? When I played it on Amstrad, it was frustrating as hell, bouncing around everywhere

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

It stops bouncing when you choose the appropriate power-up. You definitely want to get that upgrade first because the game is impossible without it.

C'est singulier l'animation du magicien sur son chaudron...

0:04 lol sounds Funny ;))

[@robogod3000]

Evergreen....

[@phlebiax5592]

One of those games without instructions on what to do.

[@jussikuusela7345]

The game contains instructions, hit space in start screen.

[@phlebiax5592]

@@jussikuusela7345 Im mean more like where to go etc etc. Lot's of old C64 have that problem.

[@rogerwennstrom6677]

@@phlebiax5592 Probably had a small paper manual in the sleeve of the cassette/disc though :)

[@Bammer2001]

Platypus theme music, anyone?
