What other games from Publishing label 'Players Software' did you enjoy? 😇🕹👌 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= More from 1987: tinyurl.com/1987-C64-GAMES My Top Picks: tinyurl.com/CCGS-BEST-GAMES
Haha yeah I liked that too. I was even impressed when I figured I could dress like one of the Treens on Dan Dare too... there was a hidden uniform within the game which I located on the Live video I did of it haha 😇🕹👌
Very nice game. Third part was also great with enhanced possibilities and minipuzzles. Two things bugged me when I played this: no ammo count and you couldn't jump bombs over - they primed anyway (at least on ZX).
I agree, the ammo count is annoying - I actually thought it was infinite ammo for a time when I revisited this, then all of a sudden I couldn't fire my fun... a counter would have been very helpful. Never played Joe Blade 3 - but I can imagine it was more of the same as 1 & 2, alas that was only released on Amstrad & Speccy I believe 😇🕹️👌
Ahh yes now you come to mention it! It's a strange little game this one, but strangely hard to put down once you make progress with the bomb disarmament 💣🕹👌
Nice video, thanks for making it. Is it just me. Or were there a lot of 8 bit computer games that were prison related Seems like that was a popular setting back then.
Prison games or prison themed games were rife back in the 80s. My very favourite one of all time however came out for the Amiga with 'Escape From Colditz'... love that game dearly ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UXqZyKmeIlA.html 😇🕹️👌
utterly amazing how many games i've never heard of in my LIFE you come up with, Cheeky! And I always thought I had a near-unmatched collection of C64 warez back in the day! Another one to check out in GameBase64. (btw, Arnie was great, Arnie 2 was GARBAGE!)
I have to thank both my brother and my Mum for that. My brother at being fantastic at procuring them from school from his villainous pirates in the schoolyard and also my Mother for allowing me to buy 1 or 2 a week from our local market stall... for around 8 years! 😇🕹️👌
Great stuff mate, your scripts are allways funny and well thought out, loved joe blade 2 and its weird bins and tramps, sent off for it from players game from the advert in eagles nest, allways fancied powerplay too but never got, keep up the excellent work mate 🎉
There was another strangely obscure title from Players Software I added to the channel a while back called 'Sword Slayer' - did you ever play this one? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jXkOaDR9Zrw.html 😇🕹️👌
Worth a try for sure, it's very easy to play and the only parts that are frustrating really is the fact it is so easy to get lost... or use up keys for doors you've already been through 😆🕹👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer That's the thing about C64 games that emphasized exploration. Very rarely would you see any kind of map! That's something that became more common in future games. I would get lost so easily in games that focused on exploration... but I still loved them!
There are definitely some noticable improvements to the graphics between this and it's sequel, which I am hoping to revisit sometime in the near future 😇🕹️👌
Crazy game... Kill 100 thugs and rescue 20 civilians within ten minutes? Sounds like it would have made a great 'Squid Game' type concept haha. Grats on beating it though... always good to complete a game, even after 34 years! 😇🕹️👌
You know I don't really think this is blood fingers fault. I mean when you're born with the name blood finger you don't have a lot of other options in life besides villainy
Very true... I always love how villiains in cartoons and in this instance, games, were all given such superb bad guy names. Like you say, when born with such names their careers are already mapped out in front of them haha 😇🕹️👌
The jumping mechanic in this game was really stupid. Why Joe has to jump half the screen when he walks is totally unnecessary. I guess it was a budget game though. I do remember completing this a few times though.
