Sly Spy Arcade conversions - Commodore 64 - ZX Spectrum + MORE System Comparisons... 

All good cheers matey, I enjoyed BombJack back in the day, a Clever game and good fun. Converted well too 😉🍺

I remember hearing about these devices but personally never encountered one matey... Would have been great back in the day though 😎😉

Hes a quality artist and probably my favourite Dredd artist back in the day for sure 😎

Cheers matey gotta love the classic Speccy matey !!! Such an iconic little system 😉 Let’s hope I’m a happy hammer tomorrow matey 😉🤞

Always great looking back at the older games matey…. Happy days 😉

Happy days matey Dizzy was popular 😉

Hi matey agree about the Speccy comment and a common problem with some of the conversions and games in general matey😉 The Amstrad showed promise but unfortunately missed the sound which was a real shame as could have been an excellent conversion otherwise 😎🍺

Cheers matey 😉🍺

Hi matey, VS videos are a strange one... Dont get as many views as game pick ups etc but gets good interaction from people. I know New Zealand story has been requested a few times now, so really must make it round to it !

Yes sad news about Carl Weathers 🙁 Silkworm is still in the pipeline matey. As are several other titles 😉🍺 Will get round to filming a few videos this week as need to shoot some 😉🍺

A lot of these new remakes are amazing, just a shame they couldn’t do it back in the day 🤔😉🍺

Awesome package that one matey, glad this video fetched back good memories 😉🍺

Cheers matey !!!! 10k would be amazing just gotta keep making the content and see how numbers go 😉 Great weekend so far matey 😎🍺

Hi matey, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for commenting. Valid point about the Amstrad there matey and a real shame as this would have been an awesome game if it had some sound !!!! 😉😎🍺

Must've been really hard to pick between the CPC and the 64, they each seemed to have their strengths and weaknesses. The graphics seemed better on the CPC to me, which is rare.

Fair judgement matey😉 Think the 8 bits did better than the 16 bits 😎🍺

Nice one matey, disk drive was a major upgrade for the time 😉🍺

Classic game and classic days matey 😉🍺

Was decent conversion on the C64 😉🍺

We did have some decent conversions back in the day matey😉 Still have such fond memories of the Speccy and C64 from my youth, so Many great original games back then 😉🍺

Great game for the bargain bin 😉

@@OGDuffy Back then I thought every Game for the Amiga was an exclusive for the system. Didn't know games were ports😅🤘🏻

Same here. I really wanted a C64 too. A few of my friends had them and it was THE computer to have at the time. I begged Mum for a C64, but I got the C16 instead. Was my first computer. However, it could have been worse......(I've already told OG this story before... Hehe!). Shortly before the Christmas that I got the C16, I and my younger brothers were left in the car for a few mins whilst Mum went in a shop or something. Anyway, messing about in the car whilst Mum was gone, we managed to pull the back seats forward, revealing the contents of the boot. There was a used Commodore Vic 20 in there!!!!! 🫣 We shut the seats back up and stayed silent for a moment. But, I couldn't help myself......I just had to tell Mum that I'd 'accidentally' found it and ask her if it was mine. Mainly because I was filled with CRIPPLING disappointment if that Vic 20 was destined for me, when I really really wanted a C64. 😭 The Vic 20 is literally nothing next to a C64. I knew that much. Anyway, it didn't go well. Mum went mad! 🤬 Shouted at me for looking in the boot and told me to mind my own business as to who or where it was destined for. So, I spent weeks, thinking I was gonna get a used Vic 20 for Christmas but still kept asking for a C64. On the day, I got to my final and main present which was 'computer shaped', and began with trepidation to unwrap it. All awhile preparing to be let down by opening up a Vic 20. But, to my surprise and disappointment at the same time, it was a brand new C16 instead. 🫤 I thought for just a second that it WAS an actual C64 too..... As I was opening it. 😢 Then I realised it was a C16. I had barely even heard of them. Might have seen one at a home store once? I hadn't paid it any attention - I wanted a C64. 🤔 Despite my childhood 'know nothingness', It didn't take long for me to realise, that this C16, was not anything like a C64 and crucially, couldn't play C64 games. 😭 Although, limited as the system was, it was exponentially better than a Vic 20. Anyway, I made the most of it because that's all I had. It was ok..... I did have some games that were really fun and challenging and I did spend many many hours playing it. Luckily, I only had to put up with it for just one year, because the following Christmas I finally got a shiny new C64..... Probably something to do with the thousands of times over the course of the year that I still kept on about actually wanting a C64...lol. And the funny thing? The Vic 20 we found in the boot of the car was never seen again. I have no idea where it went or what happened to it. 🤔🤯❓

@@nrich99999 that’s made me feel better about my experience 😂kickstart, punchy , berks 3 and Big Mac were brilliant games on the c16 . I have fond memories now and play these on my mister FPGA

Was a decent upgrade and worth the wait I’m sure matey 😉🍺

Love this story matey 😉

It’s all about the nostalgia matey 😉

Hi matey if You ever see me out and about do say hello, might even buy you a pint buddy 😎🍺 Where you based ?

@@OGDuffy i am in Kemsley , so which machine would you recommend ??

I know matey pushed their luck in this one 😉🍺

Can’t beat the old classics matey 😉🍺

@@OGDuffy Absolutely ,even for a quick blast sometimes. :)

Might be worth in the future switching to NTSC and seeing if that fixes timing issues... I would've said that would apply to ST and 64 too. Probably not so much the CPC or the Speccy since neither of those had much NTSC presence, so it seems unlikely that would do much.

The Amiga version was just so slow, a real shame as could have been so much better 😉

Good point matey but to be honest I’m not gonna delve that deep😉 Do these VS vids more for us all to reminisce about the old days matey 😎 The golden age of gaming 😉🍺

@@OGDuffy Understandable... I'm not 100% certain it was slow due to shoddy work, but that's really neither here nor there, as the PAL conversions should still be better. That said, I've done gamedev on a lot of platforms, and it is actually really hard to do a GOOD job targeting both video standards. A LOT harder on the 64 than the Amiga, though.

Yes maatey some interesting conversions in this one.... The 8 Bits did a great job 😉

Hi matey yep the Amiga really did drop the ball on this one for sure. Good to hear you had the C64 version back in the day, nice one 😉🍺

😉🍺

@@OGDuffy very good channel bro keep up the good work

Trust me I wont be trying this !!!!!! 😲🤣 Cheers matey... Made me smile that 😉🍺
