THE MOVIE MONSTER GAME | Commodore 64 (1986)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In The Movie Monster Game, for the Commodore 64, play the monster in Epyx's follow up to Crush, Crumble and Chomp! Smash London, Paris, New York, Moscow or San Francisco with your choice of one of 6 giant monsters, including the officially licensed Godzilla, Tarantula or a Robot.
Five different plots including escape, rescue, or destroy a landmark. Pesky tiny humans try to stop you with tanks, jets, missiles, etc. While all these basic thematic elements of Crush, Crumble and Chomp! have been carried over, the game does not use the same strategy game orders system for movement of your monster.
Instead, you can now freely move your monster around the city, in arcade game style, rather than having to enter individual key commands for each movement segment. A shame that The Movie Monster Game was only a 1 player game though

Out of all the 'Monster' type games for the Commodore 64, which one was your favourite? 😇🕹👌

My Top Picks: tinyurl.com/CCGS-BEST-GAMES
I remember playing this game once
a little bit on my Commodore 64 back in the early 2010's.
In fact, i had it in a compilation called
EPYX EPICS.
It was the disk version.
It was pretty cool.
And who remembers THE MUNCHER
from Gremlin Graphics 😹👍🕹️?
Thats cool, I had that compilation on Cassette but it didn't come with The Movie Monster Game, drat! Haha yes I remember The Muncher, I'll definitely add that one to the list 😇🕹️👌
I played The Muncher to completion on my Speccy +3. Not a bad game, but this one, however simpler, looks much more interesting.
Interesting that they actually went for the official Godzilla license instead of coming up with their own take on him (which would be completely legal as long as it doesn't go too far). Epyx was one of favorites back in the day. Jumpman and Jumpman Jr are still among my favorites of all time.
Unfortunately on modern retro systems, they had to replace Godzilla. The same happened with the Bruce Lee game, which is now just Lee. But The C64 and similar systems allow you to use your own ROMs pretty easily.
Epyx were an amazing team... some superb games came from that stable of talented people 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer Yep. Epyx, Broderbund, Lucas Games, Electronic Arts, Activision. Great times. EA and Activision are still around but a faint shadow of what they used to be (they mainly just publish and distribute software nowadays).
The animation on the Blob & Spider were brilliant. 👍
That spider walking along was very good animation I must admit - good game this, simple yet addictive 😇🕹👌
I wish there was a time machine to get back to those great days.
Same here buddy... good times back then. Less hassle, & more gaming - in the 80s😇🕹️👌
So Many great games came out of Epyx for the c64
Yeah you're not wrong. I particularly liked the 'games' series (Winter/Summer/California) and also one of my faves was 'Sword Of Fargoal'. Great software house 😇🕹👌
During Elementary school , had to write a short story. I played this game and took notes. Wrote a story from my notes of my game play.
That memory right there is pure nostalgia, I can imagine that this game meant a lot back in the day. Good times and... I hope you got good grades for the story! 😇🕹️👌
Love this game, and the music is composed by the same genius who did Temple of Apshai Trilogy. A great tribute to kaiju movies of the 70s and 80s and above all, So SO much fun!
Genius is definitely the word... some Epyx games were just pure class! 😇🕹️👌
One of the most memorable title musics ever.
Sometimes music can unlock a ton of brilliant memories and you're right... the title music is very nostalgic😇🕹️👌
My buddies had this game and it was amazing! Thanks for reminding me of its greatness.
Superb memories huh - hopefully you are recminiscing some good times in gaming 😇🕹️👌
This is such a gem. Some combos were rough, like destroy a landmark in New York as Mechatron and having to deal with the water for some of them, but it's a smashing time!
Good memories - I particularly liked the Mechatron monster... then again I was a massive fan of The Transformers as a young kid so the Mechatron was definitely my favourite 😇🕹️👌
The music is fantastic.
Superb isn't it, especially the piano intro 😇🕹️👌
The spider and blob look so creepy! Nice!
The blog always reminds me of the green Tiredactyl from BC II: Grog's Revenge... for some reason! 😇🕹️👌
I played this a lot as a kid. I managed to lay waste to the whole city once with The Glog and leave :)
Glog is great for destroying everything - good game isn't it 😇🕹👌
Played it recently on Evercade. It feels like something that would have impressed back in the day although its quite slow its got the usual Epyx presentation that e eryone would have crowded around to watch. Its hard to understand for people who weren't there how impressive this stuff was.
The evercade was a lovely addition - I still play Paradroid and also Sword Of Fargoal on that during lunch breaks. I hope they add more C64 cartridges.... as I'm loving the first 3 they brought out 😇🕹️👌
100% remember buying this game. Great video
Thankyou my friend, great game isn't it. Good nostalgic memories flooding back playing this - that's what it's all about I guess 😇🕹👌
Absolutely loved this game as a kid! the "find the baby" scenario was so hard because you could only track the baby when they cried out! Thanks for this video- really brought back some good memories!
Yeah the 'baby' would make little sounds and you had to be quick to locate it... great game, full of nostalgia - glad it brought back some good memories for you 😇🕹️👌
Holy smokes! I didn't know they made a followup to Crush Crumble and Chomp. :-) One of my favs... I need to try this one. :D
Good man, yeah get it fired up - great game... feels a little 'slow' to play these days, but still good fun 😇🕹️👌
This game was so much fun! My dad actually bought this game and said it was too much for me to play. I remember sneaking into our little office to play this and had a ball with it!
Brilliant nostalgia, amazing how these games can unlock memories of the great times with the Commodore 64 😇🕹️👌
I got my highest score as the Glog.
All you need to do is to touch a building and the Glog's passive damage will take care of the rest.
I was able to destroy most of Tokyo before I had to retreat to the sea.
The Glog is a beast... the aeo damage was the best with that monster like you say 😇🕹️👌
It's funny... I've played a lot of monster games like Rampage and Mail Order Monsters... and I've played a lot of Epyx games (they made some fantastic stuff)... but I've never played this one. I don't remember ever seeing this as a kid. Sounds like I should definitely give this a whirl! It looks fun!
Get it fired up and yeah, give it a whirl. My favourite Epyx game will always be 'Sword Of Fargoal' for some reason, I love that game - even though I died to the 'War Lord' in the livesteam hahaha 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer Agreed! Sword of Fargoal was a favorite of mine as well! Great game! But yeah... I've had many deaths like the one you had. It happens to us all! It's part of the experience. 🙂
This game was made for me. At least that was what I thought before getting the game. I'm a huge monster movie and b-movie nerd. So imagine me NOT liking this game when it came out.. The game was ok but my hype for the game was impossible to live up to. And the biggest problem..... Well let's say it in the voice of Marlon "the horror, the horror" Brandos voice. The loading times, the loading times....... I will give it another go in an emulator later today. Who knows, perhaps this game and me can be friends again.
You're right about the loading times, they could be brutally long sometimes. Luckily with modern 'warp mode' emulation we don't feel it quite the same... definitely worth a revisit. Hopefully will appeal a bit more 😇🕹👌
Oh yeah I remember this had crush crumble chomp on tape took ages to load 2
Haha yeah, the loading times were brutal on some games back in the day - I'd just go grab a drink, or watch a cartoon, whilst games were loading as a kid.... sometimes I'd return to the C64 to find that the game had crashed too. Gah! 😇🕹️👌
Neat, an isometric rendition of Rampage, but with a cleverly executed set of fully-diagetic menus!
Definitely reminds me of Rampage.. like you say though, with an isometric touch 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer Whoops, I meant to say "diagetic" back there (I think auto-correct initially mangled it, but I've since corrected that). I positively love their movie theater theming of the entire UI.
Looks nice I never had this one as a kid
Good fun, might be a bit slow-going by todays standards but back in 86' this was fantastic 😇🕹️👌
Not one i remember but looks fun. I'll check it out
Great little game for me back when I was a kid - I also have this for the Evercade, so I play it now and again whilst on lunch breaks 😇🕹️👌
not played this, but played a ton of Rampage so would probably have enjoyed this
There was a few 'monster' type games out for the C64, Rampage being a legendary game (Also on the channel playlist). I'm hoping to get them all covered eventually 😇🕹️👌
Ohh great looking game. Let's be honest Mr meringue is clearly staypuft marshmallow man 🤣
What a superb name for a bad guy monster if you don't want it to sound menacing.... 'Mr Meringue!' hahaha 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer not the most threatening lol
ah the famous landmark of "epyx house", a must see if you visit london
They had their own country in Summer Games, Winter Games, etc.
Good times - superb game isn't it 😇🕹️👌
Another epic Epyx game - really abgefahren! 👍😉🙏
Epyx really did release some superb classics back in the 80s, didn't they 😇🕹️👌
@@CheekyCommodoreGamer For real!😉
Always wanted to play this as a kid sadly the casette we had was corrupted and didn't go further than selection screen
Gah that must have sucked back in the day - hopefully, you can find a download for this and maybe fire it up on an emulator - decent game 😇🕹️👌
I have this on disk but I don't think I ever played it, I'll remedy this tonight
That's what I like to hear - great game, I'm sure you'll enjoy it 😇🕹👌
Ok, what version of this game was this?! I’m in the USA, and the one I played when it came out had Mothra in it instead of the wasp, and Mr. Meringue was not in it!
The may have been licensing issues with names hence different versions overseas. I'd need to check the one I played.. 😇🕹👌
Didn't play this much due to the brutal load times on cassette, and also not knowing what to do.
Yeah there was some big loads for this game, its instant pretty much on the Evercade! I play this a lot still on my lunch breaks. I linked the game manual in the description of the video - never too late to give it another try 😇🕹️👌
Game had a 15 min load time!
Oof...the Evercade rerelease is thankfully instant.
Yeah I love the Evercade 😇🕹️👌
We were so much more patient back in the 80s thats for sure 😇🕹️👌
I have a question. Did this game come before rampage
'Rampage' was originally released in the arcades August 1986, where 'The Movie Monster Game' came out shortly afterwards for the Commodore 64 in October 1986 😇🕹️👌
