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. 😎

Ah, when games first came to CD.. That's when that FMV-machine of a game called "Mega Race" came out. (Which had a level of ridiculousness that I really enjoyed.) 😄

And lets not forget the sequel. For me, it was the perfect follow-up: futuristic metalic landscape, single-shots become double-shots, add a homing missile, and sprinkle some wee call-back easter eggs throughout the game. I've always got a spare credit for Time Pilot '84 too. 😄

No problem. 👍 If there's a mediocre game to be experienced on a niche platform, I'm all over it. 😋 I did have a 128 back in the day but, apart a Word Processor and Ultima V, there was nothing to be found here that took advantage of it. So it's nice to find the C128 things that are out there now. 😄

Naughty Ones (Amiga) It's like a Bubble Bobble back-story, except they weren't turned into dinosaurs. 😊 The bouncy-balls as weapons mechanic is kinda fun, but you realise the electric shot power-up is so much more effective. But a fun single-screen platformer all the same.

Android 2 (ZX Spectrum) The Speccy game came first, I think. There's an Amstrad version too, that I haven't tried yet. There's more animation to the robots in the Speccy game, compared to C64. Gives them a bit more character. Also the Millitoids take 3 shots, not 2. Ouch! An unpleasant surprise. 😋

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. 😄

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:

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. 😄

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.

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.
