  • Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun, for the Commodore 64 and the Big Top O' Fun circus is in deep trouble: due tonight is the payment of a $10.000 loan to the Big Greedy Bank. The evening's performance must bring in that money or the circus will be seized. The bank does not play fair, though: they send the evil clown Fiendish Freddy to sabotage the acts.
    The performance consists of six different events. There is a practice mode for single events, and up to five players can compete in the full game, but must reach the $10.000 on their own, not together. The money is awarded by a jury after each act.

    FIENDISH FREDDY'S BIG TOP O'FUN
    is a brilliant circus game from Chris Gray 😺👍🕹️.
    I have never played the Commodore 64 version of this game,
    but i did play the Amiga version 😺👍🕹️.
    The graphics are amazing 😺👍🕹️.
    Even the animated sequences are nicely drawn 😺👍🕹️.
    And the judges kept me laughing 😹👍🕹️!

    I used to love this game as a kid, had it on the C64 then the Amiga. I don't think I ever successfully completed it though, it was hard as nails. The juggling especially, just baffling! But as you say, it was still fun even when you failed, which is just as well really!

    • @CheekyCommodoreGamer
      @CheekyCommodoreGamer  18 днів тому +2

      Great fun isn't it especially with there being no real way to 'fail' each event, as it just carried onto the next one regardless... which I'm glad they did, otherwise I'd have been stuck on the 1st event for longer than I'd have liked! 😇🕹️👌

Out on a hunting trip with her husband, Krem allegedly stepped unknowingly in front of her husband’s rifle and was killed by an accidental shot to the head. Hmmm sounds a bit suspect to me 😇🕹️👌

    With Freddy doing everything he can to sabotage the events, it's like he doesn't even _want_ his circus to be rescued.
    EDIT: read the description, so it's not actually Freddy's circus, despite the game's title? Freddy was sent by the bank? They don't strike me as a reputable place to borrow from.

    • @petercortens6019
      @petercortens6019 14 днів тому

      Don't worry. I guess they use multicolor character mode for the background, and maybe switch common colors when the raster hits the bottom part of the screen (to render the audience). Many foreground characters and animations are done with sprites. I'm almost sure they needed sprite multiplexing for that. I can't see any display issues so it is really well done

  • @jeremygregorio7472
    @jeremygregorio7472 16 днів тому

    So the reason for the commodore 64 GS is because they had a bunch of old motherboards lying around and it was cheap and easy to drop them in a case and sell them but adding a keyboard would have been expensive and they didn't have them lying around.

    • @CheekyCommodoreGamer
      @CheekyCommodoreGamer  16 днів тому

      I believe it was because they saw an opportunity to re-hash the motherboards into consoles like you say... however they were so blind to the upcoming 16-bit market, that it was ultimately a failure. Such a shame to see my favourite ever machine meet such a dreadful end 😇🕹️👌

  • @Syragar

      @@grumsproduktion4083 Emulators have the advantage they can switch between PAL/NTSC, 6581/8580 SID models and do a decent job scaling up 4:3 aspect ratio to name a few. That being said, nothing like playing on original hardware. It will cost and you need to modify quite a few things to get the best out of it (stabilize power supply, recap CRT's, buy the disk drives least prone to head degradation, ...) but all worth it imo.
