#BackLog64 Censor Design Star Wars Demo

This has recently popped up on a few accounts, however, it is also next in line for the Good Trawler Ship BackLog64. This demo is a brilliant showcase of what the #C64 can do. So very good. Censor Design - great bunch of peeps. Enjoy. #StarWars

#BackLog64 Stunt Car Racer

Even the YT vid thumbnail makes me want to fire up Geoff Crammond's exceptional #C64 racer - it is a stone cold classic #8-Bit game - a real triumph and a sterling example of 'getting the most' out of the machine. Some say the #Amiga version is better. Some are wrong.

#BackLog64 FTL
(Faster Than Light)

What - wait. What? FTL on the #C64..? The early 2010 brought with it a swathe of exceptionally good #IndieDev titles that blew up and made gabillions, demonstrating that passion just might pay. Check this out. FWOP! FTL (demo) on the C64. Will it be finished..?

#BackLog64 Spy Hunter

I'll bet... that you have that theme tune in your head right now... Right? Tell me I'm right, Momma! For what is essentially an average game, SH always retains its very soft spot in my heart for #C64 gaming. Personally, I think it plays better than the arcade. BRIDGE OUT!

#BackLog64 Krakout (SID by Ben Daglish)

This was the very first #C64 video I put up on my YouTube Channel some 6+ years ago and it shows! My usual style of commentary is there, but looking back - what a game this is. So much more to it than what appears at first glance. Cracking music too. ❤️

#BackLog64 Rick Dangerous 2

The original was great, if unfair, but the sequel, I thought, was marvellous. Glorious usage of the #C64 palette, 5 very different levels, lovely story & I remember fondly reading about it in #CommodoreFormat an' I want want WANTS eeet! Proper, decent platformer. Bravo!

#BackLog64 Rainbow Islands
SID by Jason Page

Whaddya think? The sequel is better than the original? I'm not so sure, but what we all should know, is that the #C64 version of Rainbow Islands is an absolute GEM of a game. And there are gems in the game. I correctly sequence 3 in this gameplay. Ace.

#BackLog64 Turbo Outrun
SID by Maniacs of Noise (Jeroen Tel)

The first look back of 2025 and it couldn't be a funkier one (probably). The follow up to the VERY average Outrun on the #C64, step in Probe, Jeroen Tel and wowsers. What a game. Check out both full tunes below. Crackerjack right there.

#BackLog64 Wonderboy
SID by James Smart

Any arcade game that was 10p per go back in the day was a marvel. Rygar, Bubble Bobble, Rastan and Wonderboy. The #C64 conversion is pretty spot on, for me, despite mediocre magazine reviews. I love it. And I know at least one other person that also loves it.

#BackLog64 Mojo Demo
DEMO by Bonzai & Pretzel Logic

Remember this absolutely stunning #C64 demo that came out a year, or so ago. I've just watched it back in full and it is absolutely brilliant and some of the themes within resonate heavey and hard. Stay frosty, and alert... #YES

#BackLog64 Rick Dangerous

We're getting into a slew of cracking #C64 titles now and also nearing the place where I am going to have to make some new videos (which was kinda the point of me doing this!). Core Design were fantastic. RD is flippin' EXCELLENT! A few screens missing, but still: GOLD!

#BackLog64 LED Storm
SID by Tom Follin

Whenever this comes up, I have to fire up the actual game and just take a listen to the tunes. It is just superb. The actual conversion of the game is a decent #C64 effort and has so many sweet touches and high production values, it always remains a favourite.

#BackLog64 Scorpius
SID by Steve Rowlands

For £1.99 this game, for me, was an absolute marvel. Gorgeous short, funky repeated tunes, lovely artwork and challenging shoot 'em up gameplay over 4 levels. Better still: 2-Ply simultaneously! A #C64 budget gaming highlight and a pre-Rowlands Bros game!

#BackLog64 Wizball
SID by Martin Galway

A contender for best #C64 game ever written? Possibly. If you have never played Wizball on the bread bin, just get it and boot it up now and listen to it and look at it and then play it. It is literally Frippin' Excellent and I loves it, I do.

#BackLog64 The Lords of Midnight (Loader)
MUSIC by 8-Bit Symphony

As we all know, a Spectrum classic original from the brilliant brian of Mike Singleton, the #C64 version of LoM had a nifty loading sequence, which was as fascinating to disassociate to now as it was then. Lord of Shadows anyone..?

#BackLog64 C64anabalt

Another 6 year old YT video showcasing the continuation of the resurgence of the #C64 and wider #RetroGaming "New Wave" #IndieDev scene. I find it remarkable, that lovers of the old #8-Bit and #16-Bit and older PC computers have kept them alive for almost half a century. #YES

#BackLog64 Mega Apocalypse
SID by Rob Hubbard

What do you think? The sequel better than the original? I think the Crazy Comets SID is more vibrant and heavy and punchy. The gameplay in MA on the #C64 is clearly superior. Great, little games the both of them. Bread Bin FTW!

Drains? Rogue-likes? The Commodore Sixtry-Four..?! YES PLEASE! Trogue64: Drain of Doom on the #C64 is a marvel of modern breadbin #IndieDev passion. It is great fun, can be bullet hard and I lvoes it I do! If you haven't played it, get it, it's free. Play it. It's BRILL!

#BackLog64 Another World (Intro)
DEMO by Hokuto Force

Again, the #C64 never ceases to amaze, nor the sheer force of nature that a lot of the old PD & Demo Scene wield with it in the modern age. A 1991 #Amiga classic by Eric Chahi, ever think our humble breadbin could manage it? Fan-dabby-dozey!

#BackLog64 Outrun Europa
SID by Jeroen Tel

Squint a bit and that loading screen looks alright... I always thought Outrun Europa was a terrible game, with TOR being the jewel and OR being the middle child. However, I found myself really, really enjoying playing this Probe game. Not bad, Neil! #C64

#BackLog64 Prince of Persia

Dateline: anytime. Location: anywhere. PoP is an absolutely fantastic game whenever and however you have access to it. Jordan Mechner was a star. Having it ported to the #C64, for me, is a thing of beauty and the game retains all of its original charm. So. Very. Good.

#BackLog64 Paradroid

For us over in Europe and likely Australasia, Paradroid was as well-known as, maybe not Sonic the Hedgehog, but something very similar. Everyone knew what Paradroid was. It was only on the #C64 and it was an absolute belter of a game around 1985. Gorgeous. Smooth. Great. Aces.

#BackLog64 Robocop
SID by J. Dunn

It's a cracking loading screen and it has a cracking soundtrack and in fact, the game, both looks and plays really well, but it was rushed and released incomplete, or at least bugged to hell. #C64 Robocop could have been amazing.

SID by Tero Heikkinen

Never let it be said that I am not constantly amazed by the passion, drive & creativity of the #C64 #IndieDev scene - because it is remarkable and seemingly, only getting better & better. This game is entirely in the #PETSCII character set. Try it! Genius.
