The C64 Collection 3
SCORE: 70
It is neat to see the C64 getting multiple compilations on the
Evercade. The C64 Collection 3 is the latest to come across my desk here
at Family Friendly Gaming. The thirteen games within The C64 Collection
3 are Summer Games II, Boulder Dash, Heavy Metal Paradroid, Super Cycle,
Jumpman Junior, Cyberdyne Warrior, Cybernoid II The Revenge, Deliverance
Stormlord II, Netherworld, Anarchy, Exolon, Street Sports Soccer, and
Break Dance.
The issues families can have with The C64 Collection 3 are violence,
lack of attire, enticement to lust, nudity, false gods, and more. It can
take some work to learn some of the controls in The C64 Collection 3. A
few of them like Summer Games II will take some trial and error. Others
had controls that made little to no sense to me. A few have issues with
the controls in terms of how it is set up on the Evercade controller.
Street Sports Soccer is better with two players than playing against the
computer. There are times I could not figure out why some times a shot
would work and other times it would not. The computer can be merciless
in terms of going down there and scoring too. So trying to keep up with
the computer can be a problem when their goalie likes to block
everything. Super Cycle is fun. Jumpman Junior is certain an attempt at
a Donkey Kong like video game. Even the name sounds like a cheap
knockoff.
Break Dance is a great idea on the The C64 Collection 3 cartridge. The
problem for me was translating the on screen controls to the Evercade
controller. I had to map it out, memorize it, and then quickly apply
that knowledge. It did not work so great for me. Boulder Dash is a
fantastic game to play. I did not know there was a C64 version of that
game. It was neat to play it. Cybernoid II The Revenge is challenging. I
never figured out the point of Netherworld. Anarchy is a game I could
never completely figure out.
All in all The C64 Collection 3 has some good games for families. Just
avoid Stormlord if you know what I mean. Great history on this
cartridge.
