Doesn't have HDMI monitor in the house. True 8-bit Guy !! :)

The first HDMI TV was set to "Cinema" mode, that automatically zooms the picture to give you the illusion of a 16:9 aspect ratio with a 4:3 source image. If the source image is 16:9 you will see exactly what you saw, what looks like over scan. You would have needed to go through the other options and found one that worked.

The coloring is actually closer to the original first run C-64s . The grayish beige one was a later model.

The easiest way to find the current copyright owner? Infringe on the copyright of the game. :)

"so I wrote a program in assembly..." This is one committed reviewer. Bravo!

Can't believe you had never heard of Monty Mole, that was a classic.
Some of the notable omissions from the list were any Jeff Minter games (Attack of the Mutant Camels, etc), Manic Miner, International Karate, WOTEF or Spy vs Spy. Even Elite despite originally being a BBC micro game.
As for Paradroid, I still think that was the greatest C64 game ever.

An AMIGA 500 Mini would be nice to have :)

I'm stunned at how many classic C64 games you weren't familiar with. I guess they didn't travel out of Europe. It makes me wonder what US games we've missed here in Europe. We got a lot via US Gold of course.

Your videos and channel makes me feel so happy. Thank you for being on YouTube 8 Bit Guy!

2:55 the brown colour was the original colour, I had one. 6 months later my friend got one and it was grey, we both assumed this was a newer model. It might be a Europe/US thing, the brown ones just in Europe and the grey ones just in US.

12:24 ".. and here is another one of the mini space shooter games" DUDE. That is Armalythe. It's one of the BEST space shooters i have ever played on the commodore. You, however, should play it on the real c64 with a friend. So much fun.

i got over the fake keyboard but "joystick latency" is too much

[Andrewzero]

2:04 well, when a daddy c64 and a mommy c64 reaaaaly love each other....

If only the keyboard was real..even if it used shitty laptop key switches this would be 1000 time better.

I would wager everybody will notice a 130ms input delay on fast arcade-style games.

[CoinOpTV]

needs better games like Beachhead, Raid Over, etc

[croepha]

in 2018 it takes 256MB to do what 1982 could do with 64KB, but with a lot more latency
