Isometric 3d with real phyics, hard to believe they did it in 48k. I remember queueing up for Dynamo which was right at the end of the Speccy's life and perhaps the last game by Codemasters for the platform.John Blackburnhttps://sites.google.com/site/simpleinteractive1/homenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-67389133331592106972015-01-07T23:14:46.923+00:002015-01-07T23:14:46.923+00:00Yep, the Batman one is fantastic, perhaps a conten...Yep, the Batman one is fantastic, perhaps a contender for the best one of all. I never saw a single C64 loading screen growing up. I know it's strange but I didn't have a single C64-owning friend, only Speccy and CPC, but I'm sure the old brown breadbin has a good few superb examples of its own :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-75757980117868578762015-01-07T17:54:09.297+00:002015-01-07T17:54:09.297+00:00Always thought Batman Caped Crusader screen was on...Always thought Batman Caped Crusader screen was one of the best.<br />As a firm C64 man, from what I remember, the Codies games Bubble Dizzy and CJ had different (and better!) loading screens on the 64.<br />Though I must admit the screens for Chain Reaction and ACE 2088 especially, look better on the Speccy.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272222349248783867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-21637968063993426512015-01-07T14:08:39.172+00:002015-01-07T14:08:39.172+00:00Hi Annabelt, that sure is a good one, much like mo...Hi Annabelt, that sure is a good one, much like most of Ultimate's releases :PRetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-81518290196178350462015-01-07T13:27:29.671+00:002015-01-07T13:27:29.671+00:00AticAtac!

Great artwork and just for a few minutes to keep us occupied while we waiting for the games to load. Jolly nice of the coders :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-38875357021981369012015-01-06T21:53:25.539+00:002015-01-06T21:53:25.539+00:00Good screenshots there.

Even better when the artist manages to reduce the colour clash with clever techniques (and that's coming from a Commodore 64 fan!!)Stuart Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563317685000757547noreply@blogger.com
