Hi all, just to say these 2 great 8-bit versions are now uploaded on my channel in glorious
UNemulted form, which means no pixelation which is always evident in emulated uploads.
These 2 great conversions deserve to be shown in full
UNemulated glory which now they are, I hope you enjoy them.
Good job Mr. Aplin!,...I won't say anything about the 64k cassette versions though,... :picard:
Please stop by my Youtube channel "ZEUSDAZ" if you want to remember games from your past exactly the way they were meant to be shown,...UNemulated :)
Don't put up with second best,...emulated and heavily pixelised :'(
DOUBLE DRAGON:
DOUBLE DRAGON II:
All the best Ammy world!!!
Thanks ZEUSDAZ, will watch these when I get home from work. To my shame I've not played the CPC of either, but I may well give them a go once my 'games to play' list diminishes a little...
There's a really good interview with Richard Aplin regarding his CPC work over at An interview with Richard Aplin | Retro Asylum (http://retroasylum.com/an-interview-with-richard-aplin/) if people haven't seen it already.
I played the first one on my CPC via a compilation cassette and found it a very enjoyable game. I also liked how the coders made the most Mode 0- I was expecting another Mode 1/speccy offering when I first loaded it up

I hope you enjoy them the way they were intended,...unemulated :-)
And thanks for that interview link, yeah I remember him telling me himself that programmers quit due to the pressure,...no excuse for those companies to hold such threats over the programmers especially when the end result is a kid getting heartbroken at Christmas thinking he is gonna have a good game of Double Dragon 1 when it turns out complete shit :-(

The 3rd game needed slating and have a rightful place in the "Shit Game Time" vault of shitness,...that's my job ;D
Weather It's Ammy, Speccy or C64, if a game is shit or someone has requested me to do a game (if it passes my tick box of shitness), they will be shit-game-timed,...none of these formats are safe!!! >:(
