It's like when you read about how the ancient Greeks nearly invented the steam engine, or you see a completed Babbage computer and you wonder how anyone could have failed to spot the opportunity.

I suppose that in another 20 years people will be back-porting WhateverSoft 2028 to run on the PS3 and thinking "How did people back then never think of this? It's such an obvious appplication!"

See the bar along the bottom of the video? This nifty little thing lets you go to ANY POINT IN THE VIDEO YOU WANT. So, if you have nothing better to do than complain about this guy explaining what he's done (which, considering what he's been able to do, he has every right to take up as much time as he damn well pleases) then you can SKIP IT.

And what is with everybody being so pissy about being able to play this already on next-gen? Isn't that sort of the point, to see if it could be done on a C64?

WHY ISN'T IT IN HI-DEF OMG WHAT A WASTE OF TIME THIS SUCKS.

It's a SID file so you'll need a player (plenty of plugins for winamp, etc)

Also listening to this with sidplay2 makes me realise how much better a real SID sounds :(

So now that I've seen Guitar Hero on C64 and Tetris on oscilloscope, I feel comfortable stating that the generations before us did not lack the technology to make the epic games of today, just the imagination.

Just like young people 25 years from now will think the PS3/Xbox 360's were crap lol.

Some people use their time to make something interesting, some people use their time to post inane negative comments on Kotaku.

Seriously tho, its actually a really good port for a machine as old as a Commodore 64. The guy apperently had fun making it, thats what matters. I'm sure the people who love playing with old school tech (its actually fun if you can get your hands on some of the good stuff) will have a blast with it.

Doubt this guy with get sued he isn't actually reproducing the game nor will people actually waste their money for this good job to whoever made this though this could have been great if it was released back then :)

You gotta appreciate guys who really have love for old technology. Its a project like these done out of passion that bring gaming as a medium closer to an art form.
