    Thanks for including Oolong... :D Now that was a surprise, been many years since I touched that last time.

      It looks very promising (02:21:37), maybe it's time to finish it? With the C64 having a new golden age of sorts, it's the perfect time :)). Maybe you could give some comments on it here: www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/oolong/

    It really is amazing that there is still so much potential in a machine with 64k !

      Because it's the only 8-bit that has a gpu for sprites and pixel-to-pixel scrolling, as well as good sound.

    Beer Belly Bill looks Amazing! as well as Mythos!..it just needs a speed up and to run a bit smoother.....but Spooky? WOW!

    • @Asphodellife
      @Asphodellife  Рік тому +1

      Yeah Mythos (02:15:11) almost looks like a 16bit Jrpg in places; very nice pixelart. Unfortunately Spooky 3:11:30 is in 'development hell' atm. I Hope it will be released in the not too far future though. It looks to become an amazing title indeed! For more background info about the title go here: www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/spooky/

    I don't understand why people want to make more and more and more Space games... The C64 is capable of so much more than Space shooters. How about doing more adventure games and RPG's and even finish some good ones that are original which would be great.

    • @Asphodellife
      @Asphodellife  Рік тому +1

      Be sure to check out 'Briley Witch' when it comes to JRPG's or 'HIred Sword II'. I agree with the shooters (especially in the past); but there are more and more games currently coming out in other genres.

      Please do! (I consider it part of the 'soon-to-be..' part anyways :) ) That game (57:22) looks extremely promising! Maybe do cartridge only? If the game has good levels and gameplay, it will definitely be worth selling too!

    You should have tried to delineate the clearly nevers from the soon to bes as some of these games are definitely in active development and some were abandoned years ago.

    • @rwxdesigns
      @rwxdesigns Рік тому +1

      that's probably hard to do, as some projects are just parked and then returned to, so can't be classed as never. I've got several parked projects, but it doesn't mean they will become a never.

    • @Asphodellife
      @Asphodellife  Рік тому

      Yeah, I agree. Especially nowadays some 'never' projects are getting started again (like 'Outrage' (02:25:05) for example that IS included as a 'never' here, but was released not long ago. Or the Splatterhouse clone 'Undead' (03:34:15) which was also started up again recently.

      Most of the titles are games that were in development but, for whatever reason, never finished. But there are also New upcoming titles like Looter (01:55:48) , Stoker (03:15:27) and Limbo (!) (01:52:47) for example.

    Too much crap uridium clones, because of SEUCK i guess.
    Some look like 16 bit games, :O

      Yeah, Uridium spawned lots of bad (unfinished) clones. I'm afraid they're not even 'Seuck' 😄
