- Hey whatsup guys OSG here with another great full playthrough of and absolute cracking C64 game. Katakis is without a doubt the best shoot em up on the C64. Yeah it’s an R0Type Clone but when clones are better than the game they were copied off they are really special. The soundtrack by Chris Hülsbeck is outstanding, the gameplay is smooth and enjoyable although the bosses are far too easy.
So sit back relax and enjoy the best c64 shoot em up Katakis full playthrough

Totally agree with you, Mr. OSG.
Love the Music at 07:17 so much. Hülsbeck made so amazing Game Music.
Thanks for bringing back great Memories. :-)
The music is awesome on this game and its right up there with the best of Hulsbeck
Music for Area 5:
Alan Silvestri - The Delta Force

...oh, and this is game is awesome 🤗
I loved this game back when I was a kid. Great memories of Rainbow Arts games. This music is not so Hülsbeck as it may seem. ;)

It was one of the best games I played on a C64. What memories! Now I have to buy a C64 MAXI and play it again! ;)
Katakis lives!!! (comment only for real old style gamer)
Nice. All those games in the R-type style were great on C64. Delta was my personal favourite.
Delta is a Great game
Delta's great, but I prefer Armalyte
I loved this years ago ahhhh the memories of misspent hours and evenings after school and weekends playing this I can even remember I bought this game upstairs of the Northamptons Boots and it was in the sale bin for some reason as I remember my mate Mike being pee'd he hadn't seen it and it was just £2.99. Again you've made my night watching your videos. If no one else you've made me happy on numerous occasions. thanks so so much, Bran now I just gotta try and remember what level I got too?
I just remembered I bought Outrun too, anyone remembers having to write down the tape counter for each level and back then I thought it was amazing and discussing with my mates how close to the arcade they'd made it lmao.
@@brannenthompson9662 Haha everything was magical back then mate...we were on the cusp of technology and although looking back now we maybe weren't making good comparisons ...to us as kids we thought they were as good as the arcade. This katakis is on another level though and £2.99...wow what a bargain.
I got this for my C64 ‘way back when’ & it was called ‘Denaris’ which I am now guessing was due to a legal problem of some sort. The development team of Trenz, Escher & Huelsbeck made some amazing games for the C64.
Manfred Trenz without a doubt one of the best coders ever to grace the C64 and Amiga.
Add music by Chris Hulsbeck and you have the dream team.
Also know for Turrican, Giani sister and r-type.
Nice play though OSG, got your game face on !!
Yeah this game while being class is actually surprisingly easy one you pick up the big Nose Weapon
Chris... A genius
You can see some assets from Giana Sisters being reused, too.
@@oldstylegaming yeah, i mean, i remember making it through once without using a life. But that´s why i liked it. I never had the patience for hard action games (or platformers for that matter - so yeah, "The Last Ninja" wasnt for me, for example.
I own this on tape and disk but under it's other name of 'Denaris', and other than a different title it's exactly the same game. I remember playing it loads back in the day as a kid, but I seem to recall not being that great at it, but do remember getting as far as the level with the circuitry graphics, and what awesome graphics they STILL are to this very day I might add. Well played that man :-D
Thanks for watching mate :-)
@@oldstylegaming Ha ha, you're welcome mate...only two years later 😀
Wow what a game never played it need to check my roms on the computer
Excellent share
Yeah defo worth a play mate :-)
Had never heard of this game but it looks awesome. That soundtrack as well though.... Wondering how I missed this back in the day
It was called Denaris too so maybe you may have kmow it as that
Just played it. I can see why you regard it so highly :) Not easy to control using a keyboard though, I'd better get a controller lol
Just a side note, just played this game today on the Amiga and it was terrible, unrecognisable when compared with the C64 version. Thanks for introducing me to this classic :)
I missed this as I bought my Amiga the same year, I played it on Amiga although it was called Denaris due to some legal issues. This looks awesome! It doesn't get much better than this does it? shit hot gfx and top tunes all through the generous 12 levels. Plus you can play team co-op I believe? The bosses look great and big! although they do seem a tad easy to defeat as you said, otherwise it's flawless. What a great team Manfred Trenz and Chris Huelsbeck made. Great vid m8, I'm off for a do.... oh, nice run :)
Did you have a go mate?
@@oldstylegaming Yeah m8, class game :)
Took my c64 out of the box last night and played Katakis for the frist time, holt crap that game is great! A bit hard😅
Wow! What an awesome soundtrack and game!!!
Quante partite. Grandi rivordi
Loved this game. Although I had it after the name was changed to Denaris.
Great game, but Manfred's Turrican still stands as one of the best platformers of all time.
great soundtrack!
8 bit class 👍
Impressive shooter,bit like r-type in an alternate universe 😁
Huelsbeck's music to me is second only to Jeroen Tel as the best of the bunch of the latter musicians on the C64. His music from this and R-Type are top-notch
The theme from the final stage is plagiarized from 80's Chuck Norris flick 'Delta Force' (ua-cam.com/video/SQUeQOIlcDM/v-deo.html). Makes you wonder if he ripped off other stuff.
Katakis (C64) 😍
Still great
One of my favorites! Nice! It's funny, it's way better than the Amiga version. It's also got a touch of Darius to it. (bubble upgrades and force field)
yeah the force field looks alot like Darius... this truly is a great 8bit game
I have to disagree on this one. This game just didn't have the spark for me.
For me it's trying too hard to be better than R Type, and that's where it lets itself down. It's too busy, hardly any variation in the weapons, and once you've got the oversized orb on the front of the ship, then you can just waltz through to the end of each level and with a couple of blasts and destroy something that should be able to outwit you.
It wasn't good when it was first released, and it certainly hasn't aged well.
Hard? this is a really easy game.... like too easy. R-Type was more challenging than this but only had 8 levels...i love them both but this one is defo better Its Manfred Trenz proper R-Type. but i do get waht you say about the waltzing through the levels once you get the upgrade..there are maybe 2 or 3 levels that are a little bit hard. The music is what makes this game and the visuals too
Does anybody recognize that Katakis shoots swastikas? At 1:22min for example.
A few people have said that...I personally never noticed it...to busy trying not to die lol
I could swear some of the enemies are taken straight from sanxion. disgraceful. Is this the prequel to KisaKat?
Bolby Mono
Haha I laughed at that in the credits
Never believed you can win that game with that weakly buffed up weapons. Cringed by the way you avoided red bubbles...
its not a hard game really IO is much harder i think...but no where near as good as this though
