    24:10 Well, we know the Epyx programmers were Monty Python fans. "The Lumberjack Song"

    Wow Epyx put so much details in their games in both visual and sound quality, which is awesome for 1986 standards and I dare to say even today's standards. These games have a charm to them that not even today's modern triple A titles can match. Man I miss the 80's

    I remember the log rolling. It was almost impossible to knock a computer opponent off. It could go on forever.

      @@doteaters Yes, subscribed! I was born in mid 70s...grew up with Pong, Atari 2600, Vectrex, 5200, C64, C128, 3DO, Genesis, NES, dos 486/486. Etc. But the C64 games have been the hardest to find. Both because the memories are some the oldest & most faint and also because there were just so many C64 games. Hot Wheels, California Games, Project Firestart, Winter Games are the ones I remember most. But there are other games I know I played but I can't even remember what game it was unless I hopefully stumble across it. Anyway, thanks again for uploading!

    Always enjoyed the fact that the Epyx team didn't know what the Australian national anthem was, so just threw in "Waltzing Matilda".

    I loved this game as a kid, even though I absolutely sucked at most if the levels. It was before the internet, no clues or hints how to actually control the character the best 😛 Cliff diving for example, got so low points, even though I splashed in straight and pulled up after that and no idea what I was doing wrong. 😫

      @doteaters it's amazing the amount of great quality games that came out on C64. No why it killed the Atari line up because of the amazing sales.

      Truth. It was great to hear that song and know that the creators of the game were fans of Monty Python. If you've got the time and inclination to read more about the creators and the company that put out these wonderfully creative games, I have a complete history of computer game maker Epyx on my website, if you want a read: thedoteaters.com/?bitstory=computer/epyx
