Monstro Giganto is jaw dropping

Mibri's music on The Trooper is amazing. Up the Irons!

@RussMichaels 3 года назад

wow those sound samples are amazing.... best I have ever heard on a c64.... how?

@RetroGamerNation 3 года назад

Well the first two run on stock machines so it must be pure talent and passion. The third one has a bit of help with the expansion cartridge but still very impressive.

@RussMichaels 3 года назад

@@RetroGamerNation expansion will only help with space to store the samples (more memory), which is probably required as samples do take up a ton of memory. I just never realised the C64 could even produce samples that good. Although most games wouldn't have enough spare memory to use them anyway.

Eye of the Beholder is so well done graphically you would think there are far more colours on screen and it was a Master System port. Although I really shouldn't be surprised anymore at how good looking C64 games are these days.

Current titles for the C64 look and behave almost like Amiga titles from the 90s

@RetroGamerNation 3 года назад

Thanks BDG - can't wait to see the level 3 and 4 teasers for Pigs Quest. So much happening in 2021 and to think I thought the scene was on its way out after the shovelware releases of 2019.

@RetroGamerNation 3 года назад

Yes, lots of improvements made to the game. Stephan (the coder) really worked hard to life the quality of the game and I think his extra efforts have paid off.

@TheHighlander71 3 года назад

Wrong assertion there. The FPGASID is perfectly capable of reproducing the speech in Monstro Giganto.

@RetroGamerNation 3 года назад

Yes, I agree with you on this front. I have tried the game out on a machine using ARM2SID and the digi sound was pretty good to my ears.

@TheHighlander71 3 года назад

@@RetroGamerNation I have an ARMSID but I haven't tried that yet. The FPGASID did a perfect job. The speech is the best I've heard in any C64 game so far.

@stefanweilhartner4415 3 года назад

at some point, i have to look into the sampling output of that game. i think, it uses sawtooth-PWM for sample generation, because i don't think that kind of quality is possible with the 4-bit volume register as DAC

@marchechter5047 3 года назад

this digitazed voice.. in your intro...if that would have been back then, c64 would have smashed the minds, I love watching what people are able to do on the c64... its really art... nothing was ever intended like that, its pure art. When you see how much they can get out of a 8bit pc ... kids, you should learn, cause you need more cpu power in your pcs, to cover your piss poor coding skills

@RetroGamerNation 3 года назад

The in game speech is simply amazing. I wish I could have shared more of the back story speech but its best that you all find out how good it is for yourselves.

@KiR_3d 3 года назад

Droid Rumble seems to be interesting! But visually it lacks of some really good background gfx. Is this an issue in the editor?

@AlfYngve 3 года назад

The graphics in the Shoot Em Up Construction Kit background editor are limited, especially in the selection of colors. (This can be improved upon with some additional coding...) Also, since the game sprites used fairly low resolution I may have opted to make the backgrounds "match" the sprites - hence the rather "spare" style...

@dbranconnier1977 3 года назад

Has anyone tried this game on the C64 mini or maxi? Just wondering if the speech works correctly on them?

@RetroGamerNation 3 года назад

I haven't tried but to my knowledge (happy to stand corrected) is that THEC64 uses a modified version of VICE 2.4. In chatting to Antonio he mentioned that one of the newer VICE versions (3.x) should be used. So I would expect speech to be compromised on THEC64.

@antoniosavona172 3 года назад

Both theC64 maxi and mini work fine.

@@RetroGamerNation interesting. On my 8580 it sounds a lot more muffled than this, but 6581 is crystal clear and slightly better than what your video captures.

@chuckcobb2392 3 года назад

Monstro does not have smooth horizontal scrolling. It is very jerky like it was coded in basic then compiled to Blitz. A real 6502 coded game would not be jerky but silky smooth. Learn the diff between coding techniques before saying how the game mechanics are. And run these in the proper video mode. I can tell which ones are for NTSC or PAL just by the flickering or the top / bottom areas where graphics are text are chopped off.
