3D Tic Tac Toe for the Commodore 64

This is a play through of “3D Tic-Tac-Toe” from Wicked Software as part of “The Big 100” collection. Like many of the games from that collection, it is two-player only, so I get to play against myself. Note that it requires a joystick in both ports, one for each player, but for the sake of emulation, your choice of input can be mapped to both ports and passed back and forth without issues.

Emulation was done with VICE64 on a Mac and captured using OBS. The D64 can be found at: http://www.c64.com/games/690

Unfortunately, it also features many very easy ways to end the game, much like the novels of the same type. Fortunately, this version features a quick save and quick load patch by the group that cracked the original release of the game.

1st Division Manager for the Commodore 64

This is a play through of “1st Division Manager” for the Commodore 64, by Code Masters in 1993 with development by Reflective designs. It was programmed by Duncan Scott Kershaw. Graphics were done by Jonathan Smyth. Music was composed by Gerard Gourley. This disk image starts with a very brief introduction from Armageddon, referencing an “Import + Fix” on 23 February 1993, followed by a proper cractro by Illusion. This makes me uncertain as to the speed of the music found in the video, as it may have been adjusted for NTSC models by Armageddon. Emulation was done with VICE64 on a Mac and captured using OBS.

180 Darts for the Commodore 64

This one came out quite a bit longer than I expected, even with the trainer enabled. Part of that was due to the exceptionally long intro scroller that appears to be part of the original, pre-crack game; it's rare to see a longer intro on the real thing than you find in an accompanying cracktro.

0 and X for the Commodore 64

Today I finally started seriously working on a project that has been at the back of my mind for some time now. I have wanted to go through the games on C64.com and record footage of as many of them as I could eventually work through. Unfortunately, I decided to do it in alphabetical order, so this first one is really boring. Still, share this with anyone you think might sit through it to the end, because I need that watch time!
