Wizard of Wor

Played some Wizard of Wor this morning and scored 47600. What a great little game.

I tried playing Autoduel through emulation but the joystick won't control the car. It moves the player around town okay, but the car will not move in the arena. I will have to figure that little glitch out.

Today's Game

Today's game is Asteroid 64. Took me awhile to figure out that DOWN on the joystick was hyperspace.  Fun game!

Wizard Of Wor

Found the old game, Wizard Of Wor the other day. After playing a couple of games, I got 52,900. Still need practice, but the game holds up pretty well after all these years.

I've been playing M.U.L.E. a lot. It's a fun game, but I've yet to come in first place. I can consistently reach 2nd place.

My boy playing Centipede on the old 64 with the new joystick.

M.U.L.E. - Non-Commodore

I took Steve's advice and signed up for PlanetMULE. I played two games against A.I. opponents. I came in last place in my first game, and second place in my second game. The game is a blast and I plan on playing the C64 version soon. For some reason, it plays fine on my emulator, but crashes on the real 64. I will have to troubleshoot that. The Mac version I have is pretty slick and easy to play.

M.U.L.E.

While browsing around the Internet, I looked up "favorite Commodore 64 game" and found that a lot of people really liked M.U.L.E.

I heard of the game, of course, but I don't recall ever playing it when I was younger. I booted it up and found out quickly I have no idea how to play. I looked up instructions and found this page. I think tomorrow I will dive in and learn how to play. It seems interesting.

Playing Rocketball. A classic!

Joystick

The new joystick has arrived. Let's get back to gaming, shall we!
