Fucking britfags. Commodore 64 and the ZX Spectrum produced one boring eyesore after another.

Jet Set Willy and about a dozen other Willyvanias on the ZX of course.

>>9990292
How's about Miner 2049er?

>>9990341
holy fucking based, filter these switch marketers in disguise

>>9990341
Fine then, Jetpac and Giana Sisters. Most of the games I listed are already on C64 or Speccy anyway, though

All mario games were single screen until mario 64DS. Even the virtual boy used a single led array.

>>9990907
i second this, matthew smith even admitted manic miner was a miner 2049er ripoff, but i like 2049er better.

Below The Root, Commodore 64.

>>9990292
Prince of Persia, Jet Set Willie, Manic Miner, Chuckie Egg, Pitfall, Montezuma’s Revenge, dare devil denis, lode runner

>>9990292
Android c64. If you are into early puzzlevania

>>9990746
I don't think they play well with the slow crappy jumping. I think the modern zx homebrew inspirations are much better.

>>9991101
I think its more advanced than early nes games.
Hero 2600 is great, its doesn't feel like a 2600 game in a good way.

>>9992471
Chuckie egg is really pretty fun too.

>>9993315
Yeah, Pitfall II is an open world game.

>mfw no pacland itt

>>9993315
Man HERO is one of my all time favourite games. I played the shit out of it on the Atari and c64, been playing it a lot on Coleco lately.

Also second Chuckie Egg, best on Speccy.

>>9993403
It's not that good a game, sry.

based.

Bruce Lee and Conan, both published by Datasoft in 1984

>>9995447
There are a few good Bruce Lee remakes which run fine on Win 10, this is Ultimate Bruce Lee

>>9995447
Zorro/Goonies pretty good in that same vein but a bit later.

A game I loved is Mr Puniverse on Commodore 16, that is a bit of a cult game recommended.

>>9990923
The noise when they jump is the stuff of nightmares. I wish I had been born later so I was spared the years of pretending this piece of shit computer was acceptable/entertaining. Those fucking load times. Those awful graphics. Fuck sake. My father should pay for his crimes against humanity

>>9993713
It shits on any faggy bongshite game listed above

>>9990341
For the Spectrum, two cool games:
>Impossamole
>Capitan Trueno

Monty on the Run is probably peak of the JSW collect-em-up platformer genre.

>>9997751

Fast Eddie. Burger Time.

It's australiakun, a resident lolcow

There's a lot of interesting (if not still fun to play) 8-bit isometric platformers, e.g. Head over Heels

>>9999275
Yeah good point they have pretty fun platforming, Batman and the Ultimate games.

>>9990341

When it comes to arcades, it should be that he falseflags as an arcade fan, he doesn't really like anything other than bad games for Spectrum and Amiga.
The jarpig term he stole from the /vg/ kids. he always tries to co-opt terms by other shitposters and tries to somehow blend with them, even though it's very obvious when it's him.
As for Hitler, I doubt he likes nazism, he's probably an Allyfag, not an Axisfag. Probably uses /pol/ shit just to seek attention.
But your bingo got better over time, you just need to fix/clarify these things.
Auster doxxing fucking WHEN.

Prince of Persia is pretty late.

Back to /v/tendo so you can obsess about the same 5 Bing mechanics

Bongshite is the funniest fucking descriptor to me I don’t know why. Every speccy/ameeger YouTuber is British as hell. Their channels are quite relaxing which I really appreciate, it’s a lot less zoy/feigned enthusiasm that American channels tend to have. They definitely have bad teeth though you can fucking hear it without even needing to see.

>>9991603
>All mario games were single screen until mario 64DS
Mario Bros game and watch was two screens.

>>9990341
You should feel bad for making this post

>>10004826
Why would it be a bad post, unless you genuinely think this board needs *more* Nintendo discussion, which I can’t imagine unless you’re a weird discord freak

>>9990292
H.E.R.O.
Totally underrated.

>>9990292

Wasn't that that game that by radio?

>>9990341
Speccy, Commodore, Amiga. Now those were games.

>>10004753
>They definitely have bad teeth though you can fucking hear it without even needing to see
On average Burgers have less teeth in their skull than the average Bong. What's even funnier is that the misconception comes from American media, so you're regurgitating propaganda, that has to be embarrassing for someone on this site.

Whatever you say bongchomper, go gum some bangers and mash

>>9997751
That isn't saying much. I do love Pacland, though.

>>10004838
>i'd rather talk about literal shovelware trash than nintendo! that's how hard i've been meme'd by 4chan tribalistic shitposting!
Many such cases.

Definitely the newzealand story. Sorta like ghosts n goblins in that it’s a runnin and shootin kind of platformer but also you fly (think of lakitus cloud) and there’s lots of secrets to find and shortcuts to take. Also if you die you go to heaven and either find eternal peace or go back to newzealand for one last chance. Fun game!

>>9990341
Yeah I'm thinkin based

I had Batman and Knight Lore on my Amstrad. Spent many hours of fun on those, but never finished them. Also I didn't quite know what exactly to do because like all my other games, these were pirate copies I got on the sneakernet. And the interesting part about that is that it added an additional dimension to each game: you had to explore and find out what to do without any instructions, which was kind of the opposite of today (where I'm guessing most people just watch videos the moment they're stuck or don't understand something).
Also here's one other similar game I had. It was released under two different names (I guess for localization?) I don't remember the details, but I remember it being quite fun as well.

Here's another interesting Amstrad game from 1985 whose programmer you might recognize: Eric Chahi.
It's one of those games that's full of nasty, devious traps.

In contrast, here is probably the worst early platform game: Ghouls, by MicroPower (1985) for Amstrad, C64, BBC.
There are only 5 different screens in this game, but I've never made it past the second, and just managing to get there was already quite difficult. The reason is simple: the game requires precise jumping, but the controls are very slippery. Well just try it out yourself, and you'll see (or better yet don't as you might find it strangely addictive!)

Pharoah's Curse (Atari 8bit, C64)
Electrician (Atari 8bit, later ported to FDS in Japan)

Phantomas, Ghost Hunters, Super Robin Hood on ZX Spectrum.

No, that's not it. That's also a literal retard take. You have fanboism so hard, you think anything not Nintendo is trash. >Nintoddlerism, swiftendrone, oot-aid drinker, bitch, bing bing wahoo, *gaped mouth* rimmed glasses.
And to be clear I don't hate Nintendo, just swiftendrones.

If you genuinely like the ZX Spectrum outside of the novelty of early gaming then you are actually on the spectrum. Britbong PCs games were never good and were in fact completely shit.

Atari was always better.

>>9995447
>>9995738
This was a surprisingly good game. I have no idea where the ninja or green sumo ideas came from. I dint remember them in any Bruce lee films. Or a giant wizard.

>>10008212
This was a French game called ‘Crafton and Xunk”. For some reason localisers called it ‘Get Dexter’ in English. Good game.

A lot of these games hold up. It’s like the best of the system but the main issue is that other systems have better versions of pretty much all of them.

>>10020154
Maybe, but then you're getting into uncanny valley stuff. Speccy games are their own thing much like AtariVCS games are.

Recommend me games similar to pic related - I've already played Maze of Galious

oi! me willy!

Ultima 8: Pagan.
