ZttP

We suspected in the podcast that this was a rush job to coincide with the Rugby World Cup. The front end was decent, with a nicely controlled menu. We always appreciate them.

This week, ZttP #podcast gets our fight on as we play the rather dull WWF, some distant rugby, a turtle alone and the god awful Sh- I mean Pit-Fighter. We hope you like your weeks burly & ham filled! Ep 195 is out now here: zappedtothepast.podbean.com

Considering I played with an Atari joystick for most of the time I had a C64 (after about three broken Quickshot 2s) I can't believe I didn't figure out the left handed mode on this.

This week, we go back to the past and pick up games we never looked at from the early issues of Zzap! We try Gates of Dawn, Mr Do!, Pacman and Encounter! A decent set of games if you ask us! The new episode is out now here: zappedtothepast.podbean.com #C64 #C64Reposts #commodore64

This week, ZttP #podcast collect VCRs and cash in the awesome #c64 port of Smash TV. We also endure the rubbish Robozone and Final Fight before playing some more baseball. Ep194 is out now! #C64Reposts #commodore64 #retro #retrogames

There's no ice cream here, but ZttP #podcast are very impressed with the #C64 port of Speedball 2. We also collect lips as a head, kill fake ghosts n goblins and swap some colours. Ep193 is out now here: zappedtothepast.podbean.com #C64Reposts #commodore64 #commodore #retrogames #retro

This week, ZttP #podcast take a break from usual proceedings and sneak around as the Ninjas that Zzap! forgot! Were not sure they really know what ninja means in these games... Get the episode here: zappedtothepast.podbean.com

At least you never went through your adult life convinced the Amstrad version was the best 8 bit port when there never was an Amstrad port of this... The C64 version is very good, though.

I have played the arcade version of Volfied before, and very good it is too.
Wasn't aware of a C64 version but it's pretty decent.
Addictive high score chasing Qix variant.

This week, ZttP #podcast enter the Ocean of multi-level average once more with the #C64 versions of Terminator 2 and Darkman. At least we had the decent port of Volfied to keep us entertained. Ep192 is out now here: zappedtothepast.podbean.com #commodore64 #C64Reposts #commodore #Retro #Retrogames

Yeah, not a bad game this. Technically very smart and a good budget title for the time.

This week on ZttP #podcast, we take a trip to the awesome Rodland, become a Striker Manager, visit the Interchange and play some US 3D Pool. All in all, it's not a bad week! Ep191 is right here zappedtothepast.podbean.com #C64 #C64Reposts #retro #commodore64 #retrogames

Just a quick announcement that we will be on hiatus for the next couple of weeks due to some real life stuff going on. We will be back and that will hopefully be in a couple of weeks.
