No sound to be found here... because in space, no one can hear you drill, amirite?
Driller is the first game of the bunch that is made with Freescape, a full blown 3D proto-FPS engine for 8- and 16-bit microcomputers.
So what's happening here? In theory, you are supposed to find the places where gas accumulates and drill into them before the planet explodes from the pressure. In practice, an entire building teleports there when you "place the driller". I have no idea.
Oh, you also have to manage your energy, destroy hostile sentry lazer guns, and solve puzzles that make new areas accessible.
Original C64 version by Incentive in 1987.
Plus/4 conversion by Pigmy in 1990.

![Bolondos Golyó [Commodore 16 | Plus/4 game]
Poor mans Marble Madness with no physics but with terrible controls to compensate the difficulty.
There are a few very simplistic SFX, I dont know where are they gone in this video.
This one is a type-in BASIC program from god knows who or when. Bolondos Golyó [Commodore 16 | Plus/4 game]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Af3q2G1XynE/mqdefault.jpg)
![Tass Times in Tonetown [Commodore Plus/4 game]
Another bootleg conversion from C64, this time a snazzy text and point-n-click adventure game hybrid!

![Hungaroring [Commodore Plus/4 game]
Hungarys take on Pole Position. I saw this game on a variety of platforms, like the Commodore 64 or the obscure Videoton TV Computer. Anyways, this is the +4 version.
Since when is the Parlament of Budapest visible from the racing track on Mogyoród!? Hungaroring [Commodore Plus/4 game]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cb0_eeHRAO4/mqdefault.jpg)
![Boulder Star [DOS game]
A pretty tipical Boulder Dash clone (aside from the TNT bars and jackhammers) with VGA graphics and hosentrogers. I manually switched between beeper, Adlib sound, and music mode during the video. Loved it as a kid, but I lost it, and there was no trace of it on the Internet anywhere. Someone on Mobygames.com forum has managed to unearth it from an obscure shareware compilation site. Thanks, whoever you are! Altough this is just a 20 level shareware demo, the full version is probably yet to be archived if it still exists somewhere.

![Berks Four [Commodore Plus/4 game]
In 2019 the original creator of the Berks games returns for another one
To be honest, I am bit disappointed, because I had my own ideas what a next Berks game would be like. Whatever. Berks Four [Commodore Plus/4 game]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/D5mkjX72PCE/mqdefault.jpg)

![Dark Side [Commodore Plus/4 game] (Csorys conversion)
This is an alternate conversion of Dark Side. Both were done concurrently by different people.
This one functions technically better, although keyboard controls only.
I keep the music off, because:
1) the music is much worse here,
2) youll hear it enough when I do a longplay of it. Dark Side [Commodore Plus/4 game] (Csorys conversion)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ELiXNbOg_eQ/mqdefault.jpg)
