roadrunner Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Looks great but is this a official release by Activision? You don't have to worry about a copyright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicaster Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Frostbite is my favorite game of all time, so it's fun to see new versions of it all these years later. For Frostbite to be Frostbite, you should be able to hold your joystick up or down and have your character automatically keep hopping in that direction (assuming there is somewhere to go.) This becomes a defining characteristic of the game's feel, especially once things start getting really fast, so hopefully this C64 version gets this aspect right. I didn't care for the Colecovision version at all, because they duffed up the controls. For some reason known only to the programmers, they made it so you have to do discrete taps of the joystick for each jump, kind of like Frogger. This completely ruins the game, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STE'86 Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 you can indeed push and hold and the little guy will pogo up and down the screen yes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 This is a great version of Frostbite! And I don’t say that lightly. The fluidity of the controls is very nicely replicated and the pace feels spot on. Makes me wish I had a real C64. Second game - 128,100 Not up to snuff with my 2600 scores but I need to get used to the nuances of this version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.E.R.O. Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 So it's been Keystone Kapers then Chopper Command now Frostbite and soon Pressure Cooker. My beloved C64 is getting all the cool Activision games we didn't get 30 plus years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Just tried all three out on my Ultimate 1541-II, and really impressive! So cool to get them on the C64, if not for the music alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
