C64 on a plasma
Posted: 24/05/2008 - 0:31
I got together with my brother last weekend and convinced him to hook up an old C=64 to his new plasma TV. =)
His collection of disks isn't quite as large as when we were growing up, but we managed to play Ninja, Archon, Mail Order Monsters, and M.U.L.E. Archon holds up *very* well, and was a blast to play. MOM was nowhere near as good as I remembered it -- multiplayer was especially boring but maybe we're missing something.
After two intense games of M.U.L.E. though, and makes me remember why I think it may be one of the best multiplayer computer games ever made. It's almost a crime that games like this aren't available on consoles. If you get a chance, I highly recommend it as a party game. It support 4 players with two joysticks, and plays more like a European board game like Settlers of Cataan, but with a lot more opportunities to heckle and backstab each other. =)
