This seems to be the story of half the C64's back catalogue: A lot of fun, but too damned hard. 😋 Some of them actually feel kinda reasonable with the emulator slowed down to 50% speed. haha.

I remember seeing the C64 version of Pitfall on demo, way back when I still had a VIC-20. I thought it looked *amazing*. 😄 Still, as always with those geniuses at Activision, they fit some excellent gameplay in a crazy-small memory footprint. 😎

Of course, it could never quite match the beauty of the arcade game — a really good looking title, and a solid game, with a story-line that could only come out of Japan. But the C64 conversion saved me from spending a ton of credits down at the corner shops. 😄

I liked having a little bit of the flashy-border loading at the beginning too. I mean, I always liked a bit of flashy-border loading. 😄 You can really get into a trance looking at that thing. 😵‍💫

It's certainly got an eye-catching look! 😊 All it needs now is colour-changing sound-sensitive LED lighting behind the display to reflect off the wall. 😎

Hyper Olympic / Track & Field (MAME) In the Javelin event, if you're running fast enough, you can go for the maximum throwing angle, and skewer a bird! 🐦 I mean, what more argument do you need to try it? 😄

The blue background, though true to the arcade, is unusual for the C64, where authors tended towards the safe choice of a black background. (Often the only way to make it high-contrast for the fuzzy TV's of the day.) There are a few hacked versions of the game that tweaked this:

Combat School was a smart idea. They're basically doing the same Track and Field, Hyper Sports, Summer Games style of game. But, since it's military school, there's much more opportunity to blow stuff up. 😄

Pew pew pew! 😎

Winter Games — Hot Dog (C64) Freestyle Skiing is the proper name for this event now. But Hot Dog sounds cool, so I won't take any issue with that. Besides, it's a really fun event. If you time it right you can fit in two moves in a single jump.. If you time it right. 😊

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate," - Donald Trump As Trump's Iran war drags on, remember: President Obama ensured Iran couldn't get a nuclear weapon without starting a war. It was Trump who ripped up that deal.

Trump is floating the idea of “nationalizing” elections and having the federal government take over voting. That’s a direct threat to the Constitution. States and local election officials run elections for a reason: to keep power decentralized and protect the people from government overreach.
