Timmy the MadfoxQuatro Cartoon.
Occasionally, CodeMasters would put 4 of their games on a single cassette tape.
In the case of Quatro Cartoon, we got the adventure games:
Wizard Willy
Little Puff
Frankenstein Jr.
& Ollie & Lisa 3.
This #Commodore64Thursday, we take a look at the "Movie Tie-in" genre of game with GhostBusters 2.
Featuring 3 scenes from the movie, you get to descend through the Van Horne railroad air shaft, take the Statue of Liberty for a walk down Broadway & battle with Vigo the Carpathian in the art... 1/2
Back in the day, the Oliver Twins created a cartoon egg called Dizzy.
Dizzy would go on many adventures, sometimes involving saving his girlfriend, Daisy.
These adventures were immortalised in a series of games published by CodeMasters.
Tonight, I share 2 collections of 5 games each for the Commodore 64.
ThunderCats.
A platforming / brawler adventure, featuring some characters some of you may remember. 😅
BMX Kidz.
Even back in the days of the 8 bit microcomputers, we had BMX games.
In BMX Kidz, you compete in a series of races, where you have to perform a certain number of tricks in order to qualify for the next race.
Split Personalities.
A manic puzzle game from Domark Software.
Essentially it's one of those slidey picture puzzle games where you have to build a picture of famous people (a lot of people from the world of politics, I noted 😅).
Watch out for the bombs. You loose a life if one goes off on the game board.
BMX Kidz.
There were a number of BMX games for the C64.
This particular one took place over a series of races, that would have increasingly difficult conditions.
The Hobbit.
A text adventure based on the Tolkien novel of the same name.
It's pretty much a standard Text Adventure: Go in this direction, examine this, pick that up, etc.
But it does offer some nice pictures of the occasional scene.
TurboCharge.
Terrorists have broken into a U.N. weapons storage facility, & stolen missiles.
As special agents, it's your job to chase down the terrorist masterminds & bring them to justice.
You've got a supercar to help you on your way.
Kikstart 2.
Sequel to the original Kikstart, a motorcycle racer named after a British motorcycle trials TV show called Kick Start.
You race your bike over various obstacles, either with a friend or the computer, fastest time wins.
Simple as that.
Ah, but you can't... 1/2
