What better for a 1980's computer than a 1980's TV character game? Emu's Massive Hunt see's Emu having to rescue Rod Hull from the clutches of Grotbags. The Pink Windmill has 64 locations and 255 objects to collect in this platformer that runs on a Vic 20 with a 35k expansion. The game is coded by Hewco and has been released on cassette by The Future Was 8 Bit.
As far as I'm aware at no point in this game do you attempt to repair a TV aerial.
It's a big game and I can't get terribly far but here's a review anyway.

Of course Cheese And Onion is by Misfit not Hewco. Got confused as both are published by The Future Was 8 Bit. Also I played the game again last night and still can't get that snorkel!

@EdwardianTeaChest 22 дня назад

You were probably thinking of Cheesy Trials.

@therobyouknowtv 22 дня назад

❤ good to see innovative fresh games continuing to be produced for the VIC 20. This an impressive follow on from Cheese and Onion. Certainly pushing the limits of the machine which is helped by elite developer skills, what we know today that we didn't know then, technical resources of today and retro enthusiasm. This game reminds me of Citadel for the BBC micro. The VIC 20 is such an interesting machine in terms of its limitations, including making graphics and smooth animation by character redefinition. The limitations give it an endearing 8 bit personality, overcoming them is the best reward, intellectually and from others admiration of the work.

I've interviewed Andy Hewitt for issue 262 of Retro Gamer, talking about how he made this. It's good fun and great to see some of the brilliant recent games on VIC-20.

@@chinnyvision In Dutch we have a saying; "Onkruid vergaat niet." Literally: "Weeds don't perish". Almost always used self-deprecatingly with tongue in cheek.

Might have to fork out a fiver to reward the effort and have a new platformer for my first love

May I remind everyone that the great nation of Australia once fought a war in the 1930s against its emu population and LOST.

@chinnyvision 23 дня назад

Apparently there's a modern god game where if you end up installing a puppet government in Australia, the country gets renamed The Emu Empire and Rod Hull is the president.

I just got my son into Emu. We'd done Mr. Blobby and I feel like he's the gateway drug to Emu.

@mamehaze 23 дня назад

The more generous collisions is something you see is more modern games for current platofmrs too, better to let the player brush against a few pixels than collide with ones that aren't used by the enemy shape. Maybe learning a bit from the popularity of bullet hell shooters?

@AndyHewco 22 дня назад

Yes, collisions were a bug bear of mine as they were often unfair and sometimes there to make the game more difficult I guess so you didn't complete them so quickly. In Emu I purposely gave an allowance of a one pixel overlap...I think it's difficult enough like that! I wanted to make a classic platformer with some modern touches to make it more accessible.

@6581punk 23 дня назад

Yeah, I think Emus egg came out of the other passage.

@AmbersKnight 23 дня назад

Great to see a new video from you. It does look a pretty enjoyable little platformer. I wonder, given its relative simplicity, that it might get ported to others systems or remain a VIC-20 exclusive.

@chinnyvision 23 дня назад

I hope there may be a C64 version. Would be nice to have the Emu blue and to up the character animation as well as add a thumping tune.

@gregor 23 дня назад

See the video from 8 bit show and tell. Written in Turbo Rascal, so there every chance I could be ported.

@AndyHewco 22 дня назад

@@gregor I'd love to make a C64 version. It would need some redesign as the locations are 16x16 in size. I could certainly double the width of the level graphics but would have to think about what to do about the height. BTW, the game appears a simple platformer but looks are deceiving as there's quite a lot to discover :)

Welcome Back Mr. Chinny!. Does this mean you are back with regular videos?.

@chinnyvision 23 дня назад

I never said I was stopping altogether I just said regular videos were coming to an end and that they'd be videos as and when I felt like it. There's already been one on CV2.

I spent so much time finding the lyric I wanted and extracting Rods singing for the intro I didn't have time to do a load of other references. I played it on the Discord. Someone said it sounded like arthritis had a voice.
