Hear up Commodore 64 house owners as we’ve a particular deal with for you! As trawling by way of Twitter searching for some first rate retro information, we’ve simply came upon that, because of the developer @joeyvc64 letting us know, we have been informed you possibly can play the most recent port of ‘Tremendous Amok’ for the Commodore 64! A C64 port of the VIC-20 Berzerk clone of Tremendous Amok by Roger Merritt from 1983! To coincide with this information, we have got a short story of the sport in addition to the gameplay video.
And here is the small print. “After doing Mars Patrol I performed round with a {hardware} sprite multiplexer after which bought focused on doing it with comfortable sprites through characters. Not so easy, fairly difficult really, and after a number of makes an attempt I had one thing of a working comfortable sprite library. Right here I remembered the VIC-20 Amok model and the later 8k-Cartridge model Tremendous Amok. So right here is my port of Tremendous Amok to C64 through the use of software program sprites solely. Nice respect to Roger Merrit the unique creator of this sport who did it in simply 8K! And did a greater job than myself right here – like 42 years earlier! Completely Wonderful!”
“I ripped the graphics from the ROM file, so it just about appears like the unique. All of the gameplay is identical. I attempted actually onerous to make it as near the VIC-20 sport as doable. For the sound results I used a SFX sound driver by 4mat. And please forgive my non-existent abilities on the SID. This was a enjoyable mission certainly. And I have already got an thought to do the comfortable sprites half higher, let’s examine if there will probably be one other model of Tremendous Amok, or one thing new? Hey, Lemmings could be the last word problem (enormous respect to Thomas Mittelmeyer, the developer again in 1994!!!)”
