This knowledge is not going to aid me in anyway now. Unless they're like "OK the Ukraine-Russia war has gone to shit, you have to get in to a space jet. We'll beam you in. I just hope you know what button to push when you get in there!"
Holy shit this was a good game, one of the absolute best on C64. The sounds, animations, versatile gameplay, and the sheer sense of the world was amazing. So much soul!
Absolutely addictive game this one. Took me ages to work out how to exit the hanger. Liked the way the plane changed colour to show you'd locked on to the target.
Yeah screw that hangar! I used to blame it on being 5 years old when I played this, but when I tried it again on an emulator last year it was still just as difficult! :)
I was also only about 5 years old when I played it. I never played it when I was older though so I cant compare it me being older vs only 5 year old but I remember that I used to crash in the hangar all the time lol. Either way I stil thought it was cool how you actually flew from space to the level.
This was a great game, I can remember playing classics like this, Raid on Bungling Bay, Infiltrator and the Summer & Winter Games. Given what they were working with, the game designers were truly talented and imaginative.
INFILTRATOR! It was amazing. Graphics reminiscent of the little figurine featured here in Raid Over Moscow. Also, the ability to move in and out of buildings, sneaking past guards using their uniforms, searching file cabinets... Talk about precursor to later games like Metal Gear!
All great games :) Here's Raid on Bungeling Bay: ua-cam.com/video/GhmroogJJ_4/v-deo.html Here's Summer Games: ua-cam.com/video/OZpqcNBmctA/v-deo.html Here's Winter Games: ua-cam.com/video/3d8BnIL1u_o/v-deo.html Anyone up for recording Infiltrator for out little project?
+Rakiarmas That's really interesting. It's certainly one of the most blatantly "cold war" themed games of the cold war era. Even Wikipedia has a section about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raid_over_Moscow#Moral_panic_in_Finland
As a 9 year old boy this was the first game i ever saw on a tv screen in 1982, it was my next door neighbours c64, oh man the nostalgia is hitting hard here, such good times weren't they. hard to believe the c64 was around about the same time as the horrid zx81
Loved this game. My dad told me that my performance in game was actually monitored by British secret service. I believed him. I didn't understand tech and it was 25 years before internet...I worked so hard god dam it. I knew I wouldn't be a pilot...I couldn't get the bastard out the hanger but give me a bazooka then somone is getting blasted, one shot. ..never did get call from mi5. I think dad fibbed.
7 American cities and 1 Canadian city. They are Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, New York, Washington DC and Montreal. That is before the 1996 Independence Day where the alien spacecraft destroyed Los Angeles, New York and Washington DC.
I remember getting good at this game. Beat the game on the hardest difficulty eventually - the robot in the end room moved really quickly, you basically had to aim the disc for his next stop before he even started moving to it.
My experience was similar. I rarely knew what exactly to do and never finished a game back then. And that's one more reasion why I play them again nowadays :)
I remember this game had some weird "copy protection", meaning that to play it properly you needed to know the hangar door could only be opened by pressing commodore+F4 when the plane was near, or something similar
Yeah I remember it took us ages to figure it out! And we actually bought the game on cassette! Maybe we did read the instructions, who can remember that far back...
please help me: when i was young the controls was complicated for outing the hangar. My father did the thing and i watched the aero fly over moscow. i asked my father to change route ( for example africa ) but him,2 o 3 times,avoided me to touch joystick.... can you explain ? Sara
The story is that a nuclear attack on the USA has been launched by the USSR. So once your plane has left the space hangar you have to steer it to the launch site of the attack in the USSR to destroy the site and thus prevent the ICBMs to reach the USA. Flying to Africa wouldn't achieve anything, and if you're flying around for too long the ICBMs destroy an American city.
I played this game on the Atari 800XL. This was the first time I ever saw the C64 version. There was better sound and a bit more polish on the C64 version it seems to run a little slower on the C64 but it was still great to see it!
I had a pirated version of this when I was a kid. Didn’t know you had to hit the space bar to open the hanger. Once I figured that out, the rest was pretty east.
I remember playing this as a kid and struggling at first to get out of the hangar however I did find out one night that if I pause the game and unpause it a few times I can make the black jet at the end scene fly off the screen

Finally, I know what happens in the game after 30 years! Thank you, sir! I had a hard time getting the plane out of the building!
This game was my tragedy along with the last ninja 2.
Press F7!

@@KutayYavuzMusic Recording Last Ninja 2 is on my list :)
I was always crashing in the hangar
Holy shit this was a good game, one of the absolute best on C64. The sounds, animations, versatile gameplay, and the sheer sense of the world was amazing. So much soul!
Yep, I agree, one of the best games of its time :)
Especially the jet sounds
Loved this game. I played it all the time on my old C64, alternating with Jumpman.
Ah, Jumpman, another early classic :)
Absolutely addictive game this one. Took me ages to work out how to exit the hanger. Liked the way the plane changed colour to show you'd locked on to the target.
HOLY SH1T, I REMEMBER THIS GAME!!!! USED TO PISS ME OFF THAT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OUT OF THE HANGAR W/O BLOWING UP.

Anyone up for recording Infiltrator for out little project?
If I remember correctly this game brought a little problem here in Finland, since Soviet Russia didn't like this game being released here.
+Rakiarmas That's really interesting. It's certainly one of the most blatantly "cold war" themed games of the cold war era. Even Wikipedia has a section about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raid_over_Moscow#Moral_panic_in_Finland
If you can find any references I would love to read. It's weird when governments get pissy about games.
Actually A BIG diplomatic debate.
Apparently, in an amusingly ironic twist, the attention this game got from that drove its sales in Finland.
I do love that plane looks like an 8-bit F22. Who knew.
I remember this one, it was a classic just like Beach Head.
Exactly :) Beach Head was the predecessor, recorded it too: ua-cam.com/video/dZvHttU1-30/v-deo.html
Remember playing this game all the time on my families then new Commodore 64. Such an awesome game!
Yep, great memories and an outstanding game for its time and years after.
The Ukraine's No.1 favorite video game
Awesome memories as a kid playing this! Used to love the US Gold games

What an awesome dad haha
О мой бог. Я уже забыл о ней... Спасибо за приятные воспоминания :-)
Played this game for HOURS on the C64
Yep, as well as the kind of predecessor Beach Head: ua-cam.com/video/dZvHttU1-30/v-deo.html
Great C-64 memories. I’d forgotten about the “Discs of Tron” ending … 😉
Great video. I remember this well.
Yep, certainly one of the games I remember best from back then.
7 American cities and 1 Canadian city. They are Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, New York, Washington DC and Montreal. That is before the 1996 Independence Day where the alien spacecraft destroyed Los Angeles, New York and Washington DC.
I spent so many hours with my C64!!! Best buy ever!!!!!!
I remember getting good at this game. Beat the game on the hardest difficulty eventually - the robot in the end room moved really quickly, you basically had to aim the disc for his next stop before he even started moving to it.
On hardest difficulty that's pretty awesome :)
I remember playing this like 90 billions years ago. I had no idea what it was, it was a shooter and I was like 7.
My experience was similar. I rarely knew what exactly to do and never finished a game back then. And that's one more reasion why I play them again nowadays :)
Great game. I never did beat it!
I remember this game had some weird "copy protection", meaning that to play it properly you needed to know the hangar door could only be opened by pressing commodore+F4 when the plane was near, or something similar
Interesting, didn't know that

Yeah the sound on C64 was pretty unparalleled for the time.
fascinating, did never saw that back in the day! ;-)
I had a pirated version of this when I was a kid. Didn’t know you had to hit the space bar to open the hanger. Once I figured that out, the rest was pretty east.
F7... you had to hit F7.. :-)
@@metalheadmalta It took me a while to figure that out. What a strange choice of buttons.
Pretty east indeed!
Great job, and thanks for making the video! Never seen the C64 version before, only played Spectrum version which is not as great visually.
Thanks! :) I'll go and check out the Spectrum version now
i never beat this game but it was fun!
It’s like an embellishment of Zaxxon
Legendary take off
I never realized how similar this is to Beach Head!
Such a fun game despite its difficulty. I would love to see a reboot
Great game, I forgot it had a level where you throw disks at a robot. Y tho? Was it trying to be Tron?
I remember playing this as a kid and struggling at first to get out of the hangar however I did find out one night that if I pause the game and unpause it a few times I can make the black jet at the end scene fly off the screen

LOved that game!
haha that game was class!
Class😊
I couldnt even get out of the hangar
I would like a remake of this game, perhaps as an extra mission in an upcoming version of CoD Cold War set in the 80s.
How do you get out of the Hangar?
How do U get the hanger door open ??
Iirc you have to press F7, maybe you also need to be close to the door for it to work-
Got it , that’s the ticket F7, it’s been 30+ yrs for me and just never would of thought to hit F7 , thanks !
I could never get past the bazooka part. I had no idea what to do and the snipers would keep killing me. I had no instructions either.
The age of REAL gaming! No tutorials, no hand-holding, just painful trial by error. It was glorious. :)
I was never able to make it out of the hangar...
Dreamgame🕹
Wow so this is how it's done :o
Looks like it :)
@@ludophilia brilliant run. What was amazing was you made it look so easy.
Hmmm... Cold war? Привет из экс СССР.
Привет :)
It's again very current...
unfortunately yes
At 10:00, it turns into Disks of Tron!
Never made it past Red Square. So...after that it was throwing discs into the back of a ...wtf?!? 😆
3 sprites at a time?
I think my version was bugged, no matter how hard i tried i was killed as soon as i reached the exit of the hangar.
You had to open the hangar doors by pressing F4 or something like that.
@@tomiantenna7279 Well i might just try it again. Thanks!
🤣
Taught Western Kids about the Cold War in the 1980s!
ETCM: Estimate Time To Complete Meltdown?
The gameplay made very little sense the further you got into it and the graphics were, well, utilitarian to say the least.
the final boss became discs of tron
us gen xers were brought up to love our country and hate communism 🤣
hmm interesting if you think that 7 years later the union collapsed.. and may again in near future.
i could never get past the kremlin part

What a crap game.
Then you can easily name three 64 Games in that genre that are better, right?
