The C64 Collection 1
SCORE: 70
I have always had a fascination with the
Commodore 64 8-bit computer and its games. I was even given a Commodore
64 keyboard from a friend. I needed to purchase cables, monitor, and
disk drive before buying any games. I have not been able to purchase the
additional parts so it sat there in a box. Then The C64 Collection 1
cartridge came out. Thankfully I had the money to purchase it. There are
fourteen games on this cartridge.
The fourteen games on The C64 Collection 1 are Summer Games, Jumpman,
Movie Monster Game, Subterranea, Alleykat, Winter Games, Lee, Marauder,
Battle Valley, Street Sports Baseball, Impossible Mission, Gateway to
Apshai, Stormlord, and Idridis Alpha. The C64 Collection 1 contains
three sports games, ten violent games, and one role playing game. A few
of the violent video games could also be listed as platformers.
Graphically The C64 Collection 1 is definitely 8-bit. The retro and
indie look and feel to The C64 Collection 1 is deep. There are some
impressive screens in games like Summer Games, and Winter Games.
Impossible Mission has a larger character model than many of the games
from that era. The Movie Monster Game also has some decent sized
character models. Gateway to Apshai has small characters but a decent
sized area. The music is okay in most of The C64 Collection 1.
Certain games require a keyboard which means hitting the select button
to bring one up on the screen. This can be frustrating at first.
Emulation of these games on the Evercade is not the greatest at times.
Emulation of these games would be better on a computer. I made it work
eventually. I had to check the manual and figure out what I needed to
press on the virtual keyboard to make things work.
There is plenty of replay value within The C64 Collection 1. There are a
lot of interesting games for those interested in the history of our
industry.
