This and Bruce Lee were two of my faves on the C64. Never made it through the well, but I was 6.

[@hai.1820]

Both childhood trauma games. I feel you bro..

[@Krispen_Wah]

Intrigued me a lot when i was like 5 years old... I hear that music nowadays and it sounds like torture after loop #3

[@andersemil5541]

No music credits on the intro screen either ... I'm guessing the programmer made "the music" a couple hours before deadline!

[@plasticflower]

Nowadays there are "sandbox games". However at the time Zorro, even though it really only has a handful of items and interactions, felt to me like what a sandbox game would feel like today. It was sort of a playground, compared to games like PacMan, so that's what I still remember Zorro for.

[@fjk1138]

Holy crap, this brings back some memories. The music was neat and annoying all at the same time. Lots of fun regardless.

[@Kyntteri]

I liked this one a lot. Beatable and not unfair games were a bit of a rarity at the time.

[@HooMiiii]

Thanks for sharing, i was 7 years old when playing this.

[@jampicr]

me too!

[@deadnerves]

oh awesome i forgot playing this back when i was a kid. thank you!

[@Boris_Greca]

ah the memories !

[@happygodavid]

No idea this game existed til now. Would have loved it as a kid. I was obsessed with Zorro.

[@windaddict10]

Reminds me of the many hours I spent playing Goonies with a friend in co-op.

[@carlmanvers5009]

The music loop needed to be ten times longer and half as obnoxious.

[@BigBrianStormer]

This and Conan were my introduction to games that did not give a fuck

[@qwerty52676]

Somehow I never realized how similar this game was to Bruce Lee as a kid, although i never made it to the underground part then. I only remembered stuff like the couch, branding the bull, the drunk guy, and of course that somehow catchy but horrific soundtrack

[@Fastbikkel]

Haha wonderful stuff. I played this a lot, never finished it though. Honestly, this game felt like an open world game back then, to me.

[@metalcoola]

15:21 - I had no idea there was shortcut there, all these years i thought you had to go through underground again, so you couldnt grab money bags first time you went there :) Game of my childhood

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

You see - you learn something new every day!

[@mjp29]

Great classic game on the C64 & Atari 800!

[@paxphar4997]

i'm going to cry. I cried.

[@EmArgh]

It's basically Bruce Lee. I was talking about this game for ages asking people if they remember a yellow-ish game with a sofa/settee in it. I got mad responses to those who tried. Even "Oh Mummy". Like wtf, Oh Mummy didn't have a sofa in it.

[@Bakemono1CC]

One of my favorite game on atari 800XL.

[@OceanLoader]

That music! OMFG. Had to mute the vid. I never had a clue what to do in this game and I couldn't get past the first few screens. I might have gone done the well, but don't remember ever negotiating the balls in the water! Kinda similar in look and design to Bruce Lee - ironically, I actually completed that! Many 8-bit games were tough and I completed loads of them, but I was always rubbish at puzzle solving.

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

The game was made by the same people that did Bruce Lee, hence the resemblance - yep, the music does drive you nuts :D

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

It's weird because I had a similar problem but I still played the crap out of this game. I think I just liked the ambience of it.

[@MedievalRally]

Now I know why I never finished the damn game. Some of those puzzles were a little obtuse. :P

[@giuseppecalabrese396]

👍!

[@grimlund]

I liked this game but I forgotten the music. It makes you mad😅.

[@danludvigsen1974]

I never made it past the underground Jumping.

[@DrMcFly28]

You could BOUNCE!?

[@trulsosmundsen515]

This game makes me think of the game Bruce Lee everytime. :)

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

that's probably because it was the same studio and graphics artist (Kelly Day) ;)

[@trulsosmundsen515]

Thats probably it. The way Zorro jumps right up is very much like Bruce Lee. :)

[@sweatpants235]

Is the UK disk version the same as the US disk version?

[@jampicr]

wow!!! how did you find all this one??

[@geminijinxies7258]

The game got an interconnected map and you need certain items to progress ..So is this the first Metroid-like? Before Metroid was even made.

[@InstazomeASMR]

There are earlier examples of "Metroidvania" but this definitely would qualify as a precursor to me!

[@7Tomb7Keeper7]

simple old boring, but it's Zorro ~

[@pajodato5339]

Oh I hated this little game. It was so addictive and impossible to undestand. xD

[@cypherpunk12]

Where can I get this emulator?

[@hervemuriel6994]

Tout cela pour une gonzesse? pfff
