Impressive. It reminds me a little of Soldier Blade from the PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16.

9 years ago this dude upload this game, but then hatred release everybody think its the most voilent game evermade, this game has severed boobs cant get more voilent than that lol

Beautiful game, but seems way too easy...?

The magazines from uk to Australia wow the 80s

Wow the sounds are 80s with a now twist nice new school 😂❤

10/10 sets the standard😊

Thanks for uploading this man it brings back memories absolutely loved this game.

There are a number of AMSOFT titles that we worship (due to the fact there were no others to compare to, back in the day) and this one was one of them. It is a shame this was not a part of the "464/6128 - 12 Great Games" bundle... but I feel that was because Amstrad wanted people to pay the £8.95 for this, instead!

Thank you @xyphoe for another amazing playthrough, and congratulations to the team on the amazing work with this game! I am dying to find out more on the technical aspects of how the team has managed to achieve this on our beloved CPCs.

ZTB Zap the Badstars. Think thats what it said in the reviews....

This game is absolutely incredible...😲 It really is amazing to see what the Amstrad hardware is truly capable of. 🤓

Fantastic CPC action! I hope you are well and kicking my old friend Xyphoe

Such a fantastic port. For some reason I missed the call for the physical carts so hopefully I can get this to run on the M4. I'm also hoping that someone will use Abalore's engine to convert Tiger Heli one day!

Very very hard to believe such a technical achievement on the amstrad cpc with such speed ,no music slow down,no glitching just amazing.i remember having same feeling when I played the disc version of chase hq all those many years ago,sat there expecting something terrible and was simply blown away. Happy days

Love this game! Absolute treat to play on cartridge with the extra audio.

I looked online to see the various reactions and seems alot of C64 fanboys seemed a bit brown nosed.

Very impressive!

Really nice! So much fluidity, almost too fast perhaps 😅 And what about your performance? Aceing the game without a life lost? That's Xyphoe for you! Sir Sugar says: Give that man his weight in bananas!

Brilliant game. I play the aecade version on the evercade but this looks so much better

Such a fantastic game. And well worth owning the physical copy. Too sad the Play2CPC extension isn't used by any other games. Not only makes it cartridges available for the normal CPC, it also adds the 6 channel sound support - (and even more if it's ever documented ever...)

Whilst browsing watching longplays an dam all those years ago i see you did a speed run on this yes wow👍💎 This i think one the greatest arcade football games maybe the best that been in the arcade😊 Im not a fan of football never liked football but way this game was well done made makes it enjoyable Music great an the action is spotless without flaws I see you chose England now that was the right way to do it thats the way close on some rounds 1 second left an got a goal awesome. Yes here England didnt just win the world cup here they won the Tecmo Cup...now that is awesome..good speedrun👍

This is an odd conversion. BTW the CPC did have hardware scrolling but it was really coarse (and if you used it, it made the screen memory addressing tricky) - I used it in Fly Spy but ignored it on later games I did. What's odd about this is how it's using mode0 (16 colors) but (a) the sprites aren't clipped on the screen edges (they just switch on/off when they touch the edge) (b) when two sprites are drawn on top of each other they 'erase' rectangular sections of each other (c) this game is using only 3 colors(+transparent) for the sprites and 4 for the backgrounds. (b) and (c) both imply something quirky is going on with the sprite drawing; essentially the four bits per pixel display (16 color) is being used with a palette hack to use two bits for sprites and two bits for the backgrounds. This kinda sorta makes sense IF there was a performance reason to do it (when drawing sprites) but... I can't think what it might be! You end up having to read each screen byte (two 4-bit pixels) and bitwise-OR the sprite pixels into it and then write it back. It's not really significantly quicker to do that... and you lose a hell of a lot of colors for the graphics you could otherwise use. I'm a bit puzzled. I guess it was an early era game... what I did on my later CPC games was to runlength encode (compress) the sprites which makes them take less ram but also - very usefully - lets you know in advance if you're going to be drawing fully transparent pixels (which you just skip of course), partially transparent (a byte containing one transparent and one solid pixel, which you need to mask with the background - but these are usually only on the edges of shapes), or fully solid pixels (e.g. the interior of a sprite) in which case you just write them to the display without any masking, which is fast. When the sprite is compressed into runs of transparent/partially-transparent/solid pixels your code gets to know in advance e.g. "next are 16 pixels, all solid" and so can use a highly optimized piece of code that doesn't have to do any further checks. Aaaanyway... blah

I'll check this one out, looks fun!

This was one of the games bundled with my CPC in 1984 as well. It's still one of my favourites.

Wow amazing i love it thankyou for this my Emperor 🎖🎖🎖🎖 I cant think of a more deserving game than this an how strong it was voted high in the live Amstream an thankyou so much to the amazing Paul Shirley 💎 He must of had a big brain storm this was genius idea Amazing history an how this was bundled with the Amstrad as well the lovly in house developer publisher AMSOFT An ive got to say it as its always stuck in my head 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶ohhhhhh Kevin the Prawn on a drinking sppprree🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 Lovly presentation here the absolute best as always

Love it 😂😂😂❤❤❤ can't help but think there should be a vid or a stream purley dedicated to the best level names. The humour of those in jokes still makes me laugh

Just watched Daley Thompson playing Daley Thompson decathlon on BBC documentary and him saying how he wished he'd got a £ for everyone that says it broke their keyboard/joystick because he'd be rich :)

C64 version much better

Great vid bro thanks for the sub - subbed - imagine some gamers playing this now they would be crying because there is no paint saying what to do and where to go next -how things change .

De toute beauté ! Bravo 👏

Excellent game 👏👏👏

I could ace everything except i never figured out the high jump ??

Great stream Xyphoe. A request for Sabre Wulf please. Many thanks!

I remember I had a clone of this one, it was one of those magazine BASIC type-ins, and even poorer really , but it had its charm.

Excellent celebration of the classic machine. ❤

I reckon Daley Thompson must've had shares in joystick makers. I remember ruining so many on this game - must've been at least 4.

Asteric Magic Cauldron, Bob Morane...

I see people trying to selling bridge it on eBay. Ranges 99p to £8

So many strong choices here. I had so much fun with Gryzor and Ikari.. finished both. Destructo is indeed very good. Super addictive. Head over heels is just a masterpiece. I wish a I had the patience to finish it.

This reminded me of astro warrior on sega master system
