What made MYTH: HISTORY IN THE MAKING (System 3, 1989) on the Commodore 64 a near perfect game? Watch the intro until the end to be blown away! The SID music is one highlight of Myth. Composed by Jeroen Tel of Maniacs of Noise and then the next highlight is its clear digitized speech sample.⁠ In the intro, a woman’s voice says “Welcome to Myth” - you will hear it at the end of the video - with surprising clarity and smoothness for a 1989 C64 game. Who else was stunned by it as a kid — it felt almost futuristic even on the Commodore 64. According to programmer Pete Baron, the sample came from graphics artist Bob Stevenson’s girlfriend at the time. They simply had a bit of disk space left and decided to throw it in. The end result is a legendary intro for an equally legendary C64 game! Who else is a fan of Myth?

Army Moves (1986–88, Dinamic Software / Imagine) is a notoriously tough scrolling action game that was ported to the Amiga by UK developers (coded by Marc Wilding / Marc Dawson, graphics by Simon Butler, music by David Whittaker). The Amiga version is widely regarded as one of the weaker (and often called one of the worst) ports of a game that was already polarizing on the 8bit systems. Zzap!64 magazine rated it brutally at 24% calling the sound track "Constant unmelodic title track and pathetic effects." and the graphics "Bland sprites and sparse back-drops utilise little of the Amiga’s potential." Was this spot on or were the reviewers off the mark with this one?
