Wonderboy in Monsterland by Activision/Imsages
I had really fond memories of the c64 of this from when I was younger, and honestly? It's still great - despite my poor performance here (mostly due to blowing two credits on a battle i should have easily won, but my joysticks fire button was being dodgy.... still, that's my own dumb fault for using a dodgy joystick!). I had forgotten how short some of the levels are, so the loading is a _little_ annoying, but honestly? It's livable!
What I didn't remmeber is how the game weirdly scrolls in 4 pixel blocks, despite otherwise running at a decent speed - I'm not sure why that is, and honestly it doens't really detract from the game,. but it IS weird for a c64 game! I assume there was some bug that this covers up....
But yeah, despite that, acutally a super quality effort!
