Hey whatsup guys, OSG here with a video I didn’t think would ever happen…but how wrong was I, loads of people asked If I would do a Games with Gore video for the C64 but off the top of my head I could only think of one or 2 games that had blood and gore in…… but after a little bit digging Ive found 10 games that show that the 8bit micro could not just do gore but could do it really well. - Ігри
Thanks for having my game in the list, so much honor after 20 years 😅😊
Loving your videos anyway for years!
Did you make blood 2?
Yeah, was programmed as a partygame. Got inspired by "prison amok" for ms-dos. Remembering weedy weekend nights where I pixeled the animations. We had a lot of fun making this possible 😅
@@onlineossi64 its a great game mate.
@@googleisgreedy the game Blood II is 20 years old, our beloved breadbin was released in 1982...
Holy shit, dude, amazing! One of the few games I never came across when I was playing c64 as a teenager, you inspire me to recreate this in webGL :D :D You're a legend
Forbidden Forest and its sequel. If your head's not getting chomped by giant spiders, you're getting stabbed by skellingtons
Great victory theme when you beat each level too, I've always remembered it playing and your character just standing there, dancing around in celebration before the next level begins
I thought the many ways to die in Beyond The Forbidden Forest would have earned a mention.
see i was gonna include it but then played it and not sure it passes as gore, yeah it passes as horror especially with the dread atmosphere but not gore for me
I agree. I was shocked by that game as a kid (in a good way!)
I can't believe Predator didn't make the list. Dead bodies of your friends, skinned corpses hanging upsidedown in the background, Predator rips out your spine in a bloody mess, hell a Predator fist squishes a running Arnold during the titles sequence... what more do you want?
Project Firestar is the grandfather of Dead Space, what an amazing game.
Hmmm well there's the horrific blood spatter tastic Forbidden Forest.........
I was hoping to see Nemesis the Warlock on this list. Not quite bloody, but it’s a platformer where you shoot bad guys and the dead bodies pile up on the ground.
That soundtrack on death wish 3 is phenomenal
Game with death blades... Leaether Strip - Razor Blades... also, in Shadow Warrior PC DOS version, the room with the wandering blades that were secured on wooden poles
The C64 game that scared me the most back then was Friday the 13th. When Jason killed a victim, a pretty graphic image was shown. I would definitely put that game in my top 10 list.
My little brother, who was about six at the time, had to sleep with the lights on for a long time after watching us play Friday 13th 😅
@@Mikebumpful I think that was around my age too! I feel with your little brother 😀
@@Christians_Retro_Gaming Funny today, that such a primitive game could instill such a fright in a kid. I suspect the main kicker was the digitized voice SCREAM that happened whenever somebody had been killed. Oh, and the graphic with the head getting split with a machete 😅
Alien was pretty scary and Forbidden Forest@@Mikebumpful
For the original 'fatality' moves try the Forbidden Forest games from Cosmi. Old games but each enemy kills the player in a different gory way.
I was surprised that the FF wasn't in the list. That's the only game I remember where your character gets eaten, burned, crushed, melted, and impaled.
Amazing years before mortal Kombat.
The thumbnail almost brought a tear to my eye. Remember when games were made by strait men for strait men? What happened?
No Forbidden Forest? man you dissapoint me lol. Forbidden Forest is way more gory than Barbarian. You get stomped on by toads, dissolved by acid, burned to death, mauled by spiders and more. Also the music is awesome. It is also one of the very first games to have gore period.
Beyond the forbidden forest is a very gory game for the c64!
Nice list. Surprised that Werewolves of London didn't make the list as that's pretty gory when you kill people as the Werewolf!
Clearly just an excuse to have Maria Whittaker in the thumbnail, again. AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY THUMBS UP THIS MOVE!! :D ;) Jus kiddin, great video as usual mate, havent seen half of these!
Lol i couldnt believe my luck when i found 8 more games to go with the barbarian games
@@oldstylegaming you did great, and they look half decent games too, most of them!
Blood 2 is great
I played Forbidden Forest back around 1984 in the US for the C64, and there are just so many ways to die horribly in that game, and certainly has it's fair share of gore. And the soundtrack is classic.
I remember having a game called G.I Joe vs. the Smurfs. It probably wasn't a real game but I think it was gory. I'd also give an honorable mention to Skate or Die for the skating through the chain link fence scene and to Maniac Mansion for the microwaving the hamster scene which put one of the characters into therapy.
Nothing beats pilling corpses and slowly squishing your heart in Nemesis The Warlock.
Yes, this! You can actually build platforms of all the bodies in that game. Bodies exploding from the inside when a elite enemy spawns, and your health-meter in the form of a hand crushing a heart, violently squishing it when you die. I beats at least some of the titles in this list. Barbarians II could be rated a bit higher if you consider when the "dino" eats your head too =)
No Beyond the Forbidden Forest? That game used to freak me out with the death scenes accompanied by shrill music, especially when the mangler got hold of me!
Honorable mentions: Friday the 13th. We had so much fun with it back in the days.
Haha very cool list. Soundtrack from Deathwish 3 and Barbarian was epic. I might have added "Blood and Guts".
I save a lot of these to my Favorites, I remember these games but not hardly any of the names of them anymore. So ffn glad you do these
Missing the game that's literally called "Blood'n Guts"... also, I always remembered Thai Boxer to be quite gory... and of course, Friday the 13th...
I didn't realize Creatures was so gory. Though at the same time, I never played any of the Creatures games. Not even the ones from the 90s!
Friday the 13th on C64 had some gory jump scares. Scared me to death when I was a young lad.
I hated when Jason appeared
Nemesis the warlock was pretty gory!
yep - nothing quite like piling up enough dead bodies to climb your way to the top !
In Barbarian 2 when you fight the large fat guy shown in the beginning of your clip, you could get an instant kill on him using the spinning decapitation move which caused him to cough his lungs out, you had to get the distance between him and your character just right before executing the move to pull it off though
Damn I completely missed Project Firestart back in the day, damn nice looking game for 89... looks more like a modern indie game IMO. Also... no idea why you and your wife are so down on your voice overs... you have about the most relaxed voice overs in the whole scene! - absolutely nothing wrong with them.
Aw thanks mate
I didn't have a C64 any more when Creatures, one of the best graphically games without any question, was released on the C64. And I didn't even check out any later C64 game with an emulator as only classics I had I played here and there from maybe 1999 onwards mostly with friends at some evenings for nostalgic reasons only, which I cannot say until nowadays for some Amiga or DOS or Arcade games... . But I always thought Creatures was one of those cute Jump n' Run games but wouldn't have expected it to be gory at all. WOW! Very gory and detailled and graphics and animations as well as colours are a masterpiece.
It's one of my favourite c64 games excellent visuals and gameplay try to find a way to play it if you can!
I remember me and a mate taking ages to complete Creatures as we always failed each new level on the first attempt. We HAD to see how FAF and brutal the deathtrap would be
Both the creatures games are in my all time favourites on the C64 great platforming and puzzle elements and as in this video not forgetting the gore
Yay my suggestions back in the Amiga video came 1st and 3rd and deservedly so 😂. All my best to ya OSG.
I was thinking of you when i was doing this video as I know you love creatures
Great video! Was more into dos games back then, so i never saw these gory C64 games.
Great idea for a video. Creatures one and two are excellent games especially one
An interesting video, never played gory games; surprised there were so many. PS, I like your accent; it suits the content very well.
I remember an Amazon expedition game where you can be stabbed to death by a giant hornet or squashed to a bloody pulp by a giant frog
I miss my 64. Had so many great games.
Hitting the nuke icon in Lemmings was a total gore-fest!
2 player lemmings is perhaps the most gruelling bloody minded competition between 2 teams since the somme
OH NOOOO💥💥💥💥💥
After yer Amiga gore vid I remember you mentioning you was planning a C64 one, I thought then you might struggle, only one I could think of was Barbarian but you've pulled it off m8. Only ones I've played off this list are the Barbarian games, I've heard of Creatures but never played it, it looks great! Here's a challenge, 10 gory games on the Vic-20....Great vid
not a chance on the Vic
@@oldstylegaming Haha Speccy?
@@Lucasrainford maybe
Maria Whittaker aka Maria Tafari.
You're welcome.
The Commodore graphics could do alot more if put into the right hands, those creature games look 16bit 🤘🏾
Loved my C64...it's amazing how we used to tolerate the insane music whilst constantly playing and loading games.
Insanely great music i think you mean ;-)
@@oldstylegaming ha...true.
Decapitations in Barbarian games are awesome.. I need to a proper play through of Creatures!
Creatures is awesome mate, you should do a monday night retro on Creatures 1 and 2
@@oldstylegaming sounds like a plan, I was looking for some horror/bloody type games for October!
The thumbnail looks like Charles
Bronson is holding up the barbarian
Chick.😂
Havent watch the vid yet, but if Forbidden Forest isn't on here, Ill be disappointed. It introduced me to the idea that games could have blood.
Nightbreed
my goriest game was 'The Boss', a football manager game.
My C64 had been on for 3 days straight, and finally.. I was winning 3-1 in the Milk Cup Final, when my sister turned my 64 off just to ruin it for me.
It was a total bloodbath
Hahaha love it
You forgot about the Evil Dead on the Commodore 64.
You forgot the most truculent of all: Chiller!
From mastertronic?
@@oldstylegaming No, that was a horror game but not a particularly bloody one. I'm talking about the conversion from Exidy arcade game but actually I don't think it ever came out for C64, my mistake.
Cool video, but I missed Friday 13th here.🧐 Very gory, very bloody, very brutal game. 😱
Not really gory though friday the 13th, its a horror game yeah... but not gory compared to the games in this video
Forbidden Forest was ineeded quite gory, but also scary too.Creatures 2 has a very cool and fun gory endning.
In case you hadn't noticed, the audio for the gameplay showcase bits was way louder than the rest of the video, might wanna check into that for the next video you edit. Anyway nice list, although that sawblade dodge game felt stretching it a bit.
I purposely make it loud when the gameplay bits are on
I thought of Thai Boxing, but I'm not sure it qualifies as "gory", although there's certainly a lot of blood in it...
Im so glad that all these retro channels are popping up on my feed. C64 was my first introduction into gaming and the nostalgia is real! Wish you continued success.
Once again am late seeing thisbut as always buddy this was a great list and has made me want to fire up Creatures. Off to sub to the other chan and give a few of them a watch so until next time take it easy and have a great weekend.
I remember a game called Dancing Monster where you had to shoot off all its body parts as sone creature with an ejrphants head danced in front of you
Friday 13th wasn’t particularly gory though you did bash peoples skulls in to find Jason
I remember there being literally hundreds of gory C64 games but I genuinely can’t remember even one just now
lol same with me, when someone asked I said of course Ill do that then though....hmmm barbarian.... creatures.... ..... .... mind blank. Ill check that Dancing monster out though thanks
Lots of gruesome deaths in Weird Dreams and the Elvira point-and-clicks (albeit the Amiga versions of these games are better known than the C64 ports).
You can decapitate more than just the final boss in Barbarian 2. I recall the giant dinos in stage 1 could have their heads chopped off, at least, as well as the fact that those selfsame dinos could decapitate you by eating your head in one fell bite.
I thought we d see Barbadian that kicking the head things wow 🫣
Thanks a lot for the video! It allowed me to find again sick Commando Libya game. Nevertheless thats part of my childhood lol Also Creatures! Lot of memories (even if slightly gory...).
You might want to take a look at Jack the Ripper (a text adventure). It features rather explicit pictures of Jack’s victims.
sane with Dracula mate but Text adventures dont really fit well into videos
This was one of the first computer games i ever played.
@oldstylegaming I trust you know the curious history of the developer. I think perhaps you did a video on it in the past. St Brides School.
@@channelname1019 Good point! Perhaps one of the most interesting developer stories ever.
Ah yes, my childhood😂
1:27 this is the most hilarious game scene I ever witnessed!!
The versions for Amiga and Atari ST actually add some digitized speech to the scene including the severed head of final boss saying "Over here, you fool!" to his body when it walks in the wrong direction.
Death Saw Challenge could of been huge had it been released during 64s hey day. Really something special.
Maria Whittaker is probably over 60, now 😞
Bet she is still hot
Instant click! I had no idea. I think technocop on genesis was the first really gorey game I ever had. I’ll be honest, that’s why I wanted it.
Barbarian had to be on this list..... talk of the playground back in the day
awesome thank you
Bet if you let your buddy hold barbarian he won't bring the box back.😂
Cool video. I don't know why I find barbarian 2 funny when he cuts his head off after intimidating with magic 😂
Picks up his head. I will deal with you later 😂😂😂😂
I loved Death Wish...
I could remember a game where you were running around shooting gigant spider with bow and arrow. but dont remember if it was on the C64 or Amiga 500 🤔
likely Forbidden Forest on the C64
Uh.... Lemmings? hahahahahaha
Barbarian, the first mortal kombat 😂
Top spot really couldn't have been anything else.
Creatures 1 and 2 stil dominate the C64, even amongst all the great new homewbrew stuff
Ah the real good old days.
Everyone loved Barbarian back in the day.
5:18 they made squid games before
It existed?😮
Wonder if im the only person who's ever enjoyed the gore in Delta man from the top 20 solid gold collection it was a decent game
Tough subject to do, i can't think of any other games.
Yeah gore is thin on the ground when it comes to the 8 bits
Forbidden Forest.
Barbarian 1 box art, age10-11 force start puberty...barbarian 2 box art.....uncontrollable trouser tents if ms Obday (Technology teacher 5 foot 5 beautiful red head and constantly wearing tight clothing) even sneezed my way. Go home relive self to barbarian 2 box art. Ah the wonderful commodore 64.
Lol
I remember playing Libya game and it said THIS IS FJONG
Wonder why they tobed fown the violence so kuch from fhe first Barbarian? I had the first one on the C64 and it was pretty great, if not too ahort and repetitive. Had i oocked the second one up I'd probably be ratehr disappointed that I couldn't chop off the heads of all my foes
Deathwish III has white people turning into pink slush and brown people turning into brown slush upon being shot with the bazooka..! 😅
What's the pic of the gal on the thumb nail, I remember it, but don't remember where it's from and it's driving me nuts lol help
Maria Whitaker ❤
I had robocop and rambo for the Commodore.
I didn't even know Charles Bronson
Had a video game.
Now a new RoboCop is coming out.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 aye robocop is out now looks good 👍
goriest game from my childhood is elvira on pc. it delivered. guts and windpipes and all in ega glory "what, the bird just.. took the eyes out?". little bit of boobs too.
Man! You forgot CHILLER!! How did you?
is chiller gory though? i cant remember it being
@@oldstylegaming I think he means the light gun arcade game by Exidy from 1986. Truly one of the goriest games ever, but... not on the C64.
voice over by a smurf apparently but well done imo! 👾👾
Im in Blackpool this weekend at Play come find me and say that to my face fuckwhit.... i bet you dont...billy big balls behind your computer screen
And I take it the 3 people that liked that comment are you too and the thumbs down on this video that just appeared, really mate you need to go take a look in a mirror and be proud of the total loser that you are..... thats it Im done...reply if you want but I wont reply, but as I said, in blackpool all weekend... come find me
@@oldstylegamingdon't rise to people making dumb comments. You are doing good content mate, keep it up.
@@chrissymc886 i cant help it mate people boil my piss
@@oldstylegaming I get it man but you gotta be at peace. They just want a reaction, gotta remember it is just muppets behind a screen. The best way I find is to act like you don't give a F. Doctrine for life haha
When you actually look at the 'gore' in most of these games, it is comical to describe hem as such. The graphics of the day were not capable of getting anywhere near resembling blood. I think most of this would have kids laughing rather than being remotely terrified.
We say that now cos we are used to super real graphics, but really even if you look at the likes of mortal kombat now the gore is comical....wasnt back then though
I don’t think C64 could do a proper red color. Shame.
@@JamesJameson The C64 can do red no problem, besides red and light red, the dark brown color is also suitable for blood.
Anyway, one particularly noteworthy gory 8-bit game was The Bilestoad, which unfortunately never got a C64 port. We're talking persistent bleeding, blood spots left on the battlefield, lopped off limbs, with bloody gashes where the limbs were lopped off from ... Unfortunately all that graphic graphical detail came at the cost of a choppy frame rate, but a C64 port could have been smoother thanks to hardware sprite graphics and maybe use of character tile graphics.
I think the main reason most 8-bit games avoided graphic depictions of blood and gore was simply that they were trying to appeal to wider audiences, and edgy dark edgelord stuff didn't become fashionable until the 1990s. Graphic horror was viewed as low budget low profit B movie schlock at best.
The first creatures was a side scroller and not gory?
.... it was gory... the footage is from the first creatures
Guess only reason MK1 started discussion about violence in games, was because Creatures 1 had furries instead of people? 😅
probably mate...weird ...but maybe killing creatures isnat as bad, I mean the germans changed commando to space invasion and reskinned the game to have aliens in as killing humans was too much .....
Wasnt forbidden forest a blood fest too?
Lol just seen the comment on forbidden forest below 😂
Wow that firing line scene was surprising! Nothing like a wee bit of a war crime in your C64 games!
Carmageddon?
On c64?
@@oldstylegaming Yeah didn’t think so. Sorry, wrong era in my life. It was on a windows PC. I grew up with Amiga 500 games
You missed forbidden forest or chiller….
Is there gore in chiller?
@@oldstylegaming he's likely talking about the 1986 Exidy arcade game. Never converted for the C64.
