FIENDISH FREDDY'S BIG TOP O'FUN is a brilliant circus game from Chris Gray 😺👍🕹️. I have never played the Commodore 64 version of this game, but i did play the Amiga version 😺👍🕹️. The graphics are amazing 😺👍🕹️. Even the animated sequences are nicely drawn 😺👍🕹️. And the judges kept me laughing 😹👍🕹️!

I used to love this game as a kid, had it on the C64 then the Amiga. I don't think I ever successfully completed it though, it was hard as nails. The juggling especially, just baffling! But as you say, it was still fun even when you failed, which is just as well really!

Great fun isn't it especially with there being no real way to 'fail' each event, as it just carried onto the next one regardless... which I'm glad they did, otherwise I'd have been stuck on the 1st event for longer than I'd have liked! 😇🕹️👌

Interesting fact: Blood Sucking Freaks cast member was that of Viju Krem, the actress who played famed ballerina Natasha Di Natalie. Out on a hunting trip with her husband, Krem allegedly stepped unknowingly in front of her husband’s rifle and was killed by an accidental shot to the head. Hmmm sounds a bit suspect to me 😇🕹️👌

With Freddy doing everything he can to sabotage the events, it's like he doesn't even _want_ his circus to be rescued. EDIT: read the description, so it's not actually Freddy's circus, despite the game's title? Freddy was sent by the bank? They don't strike me as a reputable place to borrow from.

Don't worry. I guess they use multicolor character mode for the background, and maybe switch common colors when the raster hits the bottom part of the screen (to render the audience). Many foreground characters and animations are done with sprites. I'm almost sure they needed sprite multiplexing for that. I can't see any display issues so it is really well done

@@grumsproduktion4083 Emulators have the advantage they can switch between PAL/NTSC, 6581/8580 SID models and do a decent job scaling up 4:3 aspect ratio to name a few. That being said, nothing like playing on original hardware. It will cost and you need to modify quite a few things to get the best out of it (stabilize power supply, recap CRT's, buy the disk drives least prone to head degradation, ...) but all worth it imo.

So the reason for the commodore 64 GS is because they had a bunch of old motherboards lying around and it was cheap and easy to drop them in a case and sell them but adding a keyboard would have been expensive and they didn't have them lying around.
@CheekyCommodoreGamer
Ай бұрын
I believe it was because they saw an opportunity to re-hash the motherboards into consoles like you say... however they were so blind to the upcoming 16-bit market, that it was ultimately a failure. Such a shame to see my favourite ever machine meet such a dreadful end 😇🕹️👌
