Commodore 64 is 25 Years Old | Tuesday, 2007 December 11 - 11:14 am |
Wow. And I missed the celebration. I already wrote about the good old Commodore 64 a while ago, but there's one thing I didn't talk about, and that's the Apple II vs. Commodore 64 "war" that went on at the time... at least, among us geeks. I was firmly on the Commodore 64 side; I mean, I always remembered the Apple II as having weird four-color graphics, with entirely too much purple, cyan, and green. Whereas, the Commodore 64 had 16-color graphics, hardware support for animated sprites, and the best sound chip of any computer on the market at the time. Man, I did love that old computer. I still haven't finished that project to copy all my old programs onto DVD... maybe now that the Great Blog Migration project is essentially done, I'll have some time for that. |

What game is that? It looks really familiar. |

It's Karateka, an extremely popular game at the time. The "action" was pretty stunningly slow, especially when fighting the boss near the end. If you attacked him first, you got whacked, so the tactic was to wait until he moved in on you. So it was: wait... wait... wait... kick... kick... wait... wait... wait... Still: I played this game over and over and over. |
