#BackLog64 Elite
SID by Dunn/Bell
Amazingly (thankfully?) we have reached the last, ergo: the most recent #C64 video on my YouTube Channel and it is simply the exceptional title screen and music from (Flicker-Free) Elite. And a Dunn, no less! Time to dust off OBS and get some more vids up! #Content
#BackLog64 Ace II (Music Oscillator)
SID by Rob Hubbard
My first attempt at a #C64 "oscillator" video and it turned out OK. It helps that this is such a bang hot SID tune from the King of Beats - Dr Hubbard. The game (there is some gameplay looped in) was actually really very good itself. #YES
#BackLog64 Super FuzzLog Bros 64
Music by @fuzzweed.co.uk
I love that the Nintendoid Fanboys are giving this so much hate online - I think it's bloody hilarious and props to the FuzzBard for getting some epic tunes out of: an #MSX a #C64 and an #Amiga (I think). And the 64 Coding to boot! SCENCES!
#BackLog64 Kings of the Beach
SID by Rob Hubbard
Monday Morning Will Be Better By Listening To This!
A relatively late entry in the lexicon of Hubbard SIDs and only recently "found" by me, from loose involvement with the @c64audio.bsky.social book "Master of Magic". This is GENIUS #C64 SID! #YES!
#BackLog64 Hunchback
What can you say about this classic piece of #C64 history? I honestly recall this, along with BC Bill, as being one of the very first, if not THE first game I ever played on that wonderful Bread Bin. #Icon64 have made a fitting homage to it too in Good Knight. The BELLS!
#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 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 Barry McGuigan's Boxing
SID by John Fitzpatrick
Don't expect anything but a repeating 16s #C64 SID tune in this YT vid. I once listened to all of this video whilst writing an e-mail. I had a lie down afterwards. I still love this little ditty and the game is great fun.
#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 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 Eye of the Beholder
If you haven't taken a look at EotB on the #C64 yet, what are you waiting for..? I finally worked out how to get my PC mouse working as a mouse in VICE (it really isn't that difficult) and as soon as I am moved, I will test play this on my actual C64. Genius.
#BackLog64 Alien Finale
DEMO by Proxima
There are many things that remain wonderful constants in this life: the #C64; #PETSCII graphics and #Cats. Moreover, if you are like me, you have a massive soft spot for all things #Aliens. This demo from a few years ago is just flippin' excellent. YES.
#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 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.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! And a cracking soundtrack! I did a vid recently... It'll come around in the #BackLog64 ..!
#BackLog64 Leilei Relay
SID by Dr Terrorz
A simply FANTASTIC freebie #IndieDev crackerjack on the #C64 for prolific legend Dr Terrorz. Lunar Lander / Thrust / Gravity Force / Space Taxi - stick 'em all in a pot and the best bits of all of them combined taste like this. Brilliant fun. TOTAL FUN.
#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 The Master of Magic
SID by Rob Hubbard
Funny how things turn out - I saw MoM on someone else's post yesterday. What can I say? For me, this is one of the best #C64 games and simply one of the best video game song compositions out there. Cracking little adventure game. Play it. #YES
#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 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 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 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 Outrun
SID by Jason Brooke
Did you know there was a US & a different UK/EU version of Outrun on the #C64? Well - there was. Which is better? They're both about as average as each other, but the disk US version has the map and a very faithful "Start" area + smaller car / wider road lines.
#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!
You think? Yeah, maybe. Without the 2-Ply though, not so much. I'm not sure which tune I prefer. Likely Crazy Comets. I wonder what the #BackLog64 will be tomorrow..? 😭
#BackLog64 Crazy Comets
SID by Rob Hubbard
Simon Nicol's two main games, were pretty decent affairs on the #C64, but the Hubbard music just made them so, so, so much better. I've met both of these people IRL and they are both lovely. Whip out some superb SID musics and have a blast on this!
#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 Showdown
SID by Sami Louko
Dateline 2020 and to my knowledge the first game from the brilliant @badgerpunch.com - this simple, but charming little #C64 game caught my attention way back when lockdowns were lifting and being re-imposed for Christmas (not for politicians, apparantly).
#BackLog64 Laser Squad
Before there was X-Com and UFO: Enemy Unknown, there was Laser Squad (& Rebelstar & Chaos & Lords of Chaos) and for me, the #C64 version, obviously, is just sublime. Spanning 5 original missions and a few expansions, the amount of game here is phenomenal. And that manual...
#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.
