Audio Commentary: RetroKork - House of Usher

In which I watch the episode alongside you, my dear audience, and talk about something that has changed in this episode compared to the original [blip version]... due to YouTube's ContentID.

RetroKork - Christmas Games

Ho ho ho. Tonight I look at christmas themed games for the Commodore 64, something I wasn't aware existed until I started my research. Unfortunately I didn't look for Hanukkah or Kwanzaa games - so my sincerest apologies if you feel your beliefs to be underrepresented.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Winter Games

Ah, Winter Games... it's one of my favourite Games games, aside Summer Games and California Games. So, what do I have to add to it in this commentary? Just a bit of information.

RetroKork - Monty on the Run

From the UK comes today's game about a mole called Monty who is on the run. Why the british obsession with animals? I mean, Monty is most likely the reason we've seen "Vinnie Vole's Existential Nightmare", a fake game.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Ghosts 'N Goblins

The 36th audio commentary leads us to Ghosts'n Goblins, the tale of Arthur and Prin-Prin, a princess whose name still is the silliest name I ever heard of. You get a bit of knowledge behind the scenes regarding that episode in this audio commentary.

RetroKork - Hacker II: The Doomsday Papers

The previous "Hacker" game was a first-person subterranian travel/espionage kind of game (and was intended as an international mail sim) and not really an intrusion simulation. So how can Hacker II top that?

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Combat School

In this look back at a look back at Combat School, I also talk about the end of this audio commentary series as a regular feature and the potential replacement.

RetroKork - IK+

Following the success of "International Karate" and the somewhat still ongoing martial arts film craze of the 1980s, it was only a question of time until someone plussed Karate... Well, look no further as I talk about IK+ aka "International Karate +" aka "Chop 'n Drop" for the Commodore 64.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Boulder Dash

This is the audio commentary for my Boulder Dash episode... but somehow I have the feeling I did not talk enough about Boulder Dash, but more or less talked about the newspaper prop from last week's episode.

RetroKork - Paperboy

It's that time of the week again where I look at a Commodore 64 game... Well, to be honest, I speak about the arcade version as well. So, drop your sunday newspaper (or the newspaper of the day you are watching this if it isn't a sunday) and hear me talk about Paperboy.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Bomb Jack

This one is less of a commentary and a look back at the episode on Bomb Jack, but more of a talking about what will come next week (plus a little bit of ranting, but that's me for you).

RetroKork - Gauntlet

It's time to talk about maybe the best known arcade game - well, besides Pacman, Donkey Kong and Mortal Kombat. So, let's talk about Gauntlet for the Commodore 64!

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - The Last Ninja Series

Well, today I'm talking mainly over and only a little bit about my "The Last Ninja Series" episode of RetroKork.

The Show you're not watching - but maybe should be

Hi everyone, DerKork here.

I know, usually this blog is limited to my videos and everything, but I want all of you to watch the show following after the break:

RetroKork - Batman games

Today I answer the question the Joker from the first Batman movie asked: "And where is the Batman?" Well, actually, he's on the Commodore 64 - and so is the Joker as well as the Penguin.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Cliff Hanger

In which we look at the Cliff Hanger episode of RetroKork and I have a new headset (therefore I may sound a bit different).

RetroKork - Defender of the Crown

Parental Advisory: Contains rear (low resolution) nudity.

In AD1199 war was beginning. Yeah, I know, that's a really old meme by now. But still: In 1199, after the good king of britain died, you, two other saxon lords and three normans are trying to reign supreme over the realm.

And it is up to you to be the Defender of the Crown.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Great Giana Sisters

In which I - along with you, faithful viewer - watch the episode and talk about my experiences with Giana from Milan and the hacks I have learned of.

RetroKork - Katakis

Hop aboard the DS-H75 Eaglefighter and rescue the people on the planet Katakis from the evil robots they invented.

Bloody scientist - they can't make sure their invention doesn't turn on them!

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - To Be On Top

Today I look at me looking at Chris Huelsbeck's own game concept: "To Be On Top".

Kork Scenes: To Boldly Flee - The Cavalry

While the That Guy With the Glasses Anniversary series "To Boldly Flee" was still in post production, I worked on a little something of my own: A trailer for a fictional fanfilm. Its title? To Boldly Flee - The Cavalry. And yes, I know that it's also a pun as they'd also flee the cavalry if any were coming. More behind the break, okay?

RetroKork - Summer Games II

If you suffer from Summer Games withdrawal, I may have one of the best aides against it. Remember when I talked about "Summer Games" by Epyx? Well, there's a sequel - Summer Games II.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Crush Crumble and Chomp

Today I look at the Crush Crumble and Chomp episode of RetroKork - and talk a little bit about what I think of the board game original "The Creature that Ate Sheboygan" and it's variant "The Creature that ate New York" (or whatever that one is called).

RetroKork - Impossible Mission II

For quite a while - two years - Professor Elvin Atombender has been imprisoned. Now he wants to take his revenge on the world - and you have to stop him. Again.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Ghettoblaster

Today we all look back onto my RetroKork episode on the indescribable "Ghettoblaster".

RetroKork - Rampage

Tonight on RetroKork: Three giant creatures on a rampage throughout the USA - and maybe a bit of Canada as well. Why? Well, because it's "Rampage" - for the Commodore 64!

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

In this episode, I watch - along with you - my RetroKork episode on two He-Man games. Oh, and I comment on it as well.

Retrokork - Platoon

War - War is Hell. And you can experience the hell of war in today's game - Platoon for the Commodore 64.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Miami Vice

Boy, this Audio Commentary was hard to do - not because only of the technical problems, but mainly because the game itself is pretty boring. It was so hard to do, it took me an additional day just to get it to upload. The blame goes to both Blip and my internet connection.

RetroKork - Murder on the Zinderneuf

And now, the conclusion of Murder Mystery Month - with "Murder on the Zunderneuf" for the Commodore 64, starring Vincent Magnotti, Private Investigator... and this guy with the black T-Shirt.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Outrun

And now the audio commentary version of my Outrun episode. I had to deal with a metric ton of difficulties recording the audio, strangely enough. And yes, I at least try to talk about the episode creation.

RetroKork - Murder on the Mississippi

And we're off to a wonderful Murder Mystery Month, starting with this, my 50th episode. What murder mystery are we going to unveil today?

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Summer Games

And today is the day I talk over my Summer Games episode. I'm kind of focused on the musical side of the video, it seems.

RetroKork - Bubble Bobble

Two brontosaurs and their girls have been separated - and you, the player, have to get them back together. Sounds familiar? Well, you probably played today's game then: "Bubble Bobble"

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Hacker

Another one of my audio commentaries - this time with and about the Hacker episode.

RetroKork - Master of the Lamps

Well, we all know from those arabian tales how to get genies out of their lanterns - but how to get them back into them? This is of course the task for the hero in "Master of the Lamps" by Russell Lieblich.

Audio Commentary: Aztec Challenge

I am kind of stunned that it's been a year since.. well, I uploaded that episode regarding "Aztec Challenge". Here's the audio commentary for it, even if it's not the usual "fun". But it's a look back.

RetroKork - Knight Rider

Knight Rider - a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. And a game for which the series has been looked at once and then programmed with little to no regards anyway.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Law of the West

An episode during which I try to talk about the episode at hand - but then, I'm watching it along with you people. :)

RetroKork - Mafia

Coming to you from Chicago, 1925... it's the Igelsoft game "Mafia" for the Commodore 64. Or better to say: it's the english version of that game.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - West Bank

A video in which I mostly talk over myself - and not always about the episode itself, I admit.

RetroKork - Lode Runner

While today it IS April Fool's Day, this video is not fooling you as I talk about Lode Runner for the Commodore 64.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Impossible Mission

Well, it's time to show and talk about the first episode that I did in my current place... man, it's been quite a ride since I've come here. Also: I complain about my own audio levels... quite a bit.

RetroKork - Clever & Smart

This time I look at a game that was neither Clever nor Smart... but then - the protagonists aren't either. So, let's all take a look at the Commodore 64 game about Mort & Phil!

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Paradroid

Well, well... it's time I talk about Paradroid and my personal thoughts about this episode... since I didn't see it for almost a year. Yes, I go in blind, why do you ask?

RetroKork - Double Dragon Series

Double Dragon is one of the best known arcade beat'em up series. But how did the Commodore 64 versions go?

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Little Computer People

A video in which I kind of talk about the game and my... review on it. Or more of: I watch it alongside you.

RetroKork - Donald Duck's Playground

And now it's time to bring together two talents whose paths would not have crossed if Disney didn't try computer games: Donald Duck and Al Lowe of Sierra. And together they created Donald Duck's Playground!

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Burgertime

A video in which I kind of reveal how I do these audio commentaries - and also refer to how I did bits and pieces in this particular RetroKork review.

RetroKork - The MASK series

Ah, yes, M.A.S.K., the cartoon show that brought together elements of G.I. Joe and Transformers. And it also brought us three games for the Commodore 64 - of which I'll talk about two. Why? I only knew two of them.

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - The BIG Deal

And now I watch and talk about my video on "The BIG Deal" which is about one year old. (The video, not the game, of course.)

RetroKork - Dragon's Lair series

A valiant knight - Dirk The Daring - is on his quest to free the fair princess Daphne from the clutches of the dragon Singe. Oh, and of course to find a way out of there as well. And I talk about all of that in this episode of RetroKork.

A video in which I primarily react (more or less) to my Frankie Goes to Hollywood game rev...retrospect.

Regular old Outrun is the past - this time we're using the Turbo.... in Turbo Outrun (for the Commodore 64)

Audio Commentary: RetroKork - Portal

A video in which I talk over - and partially about - Activision's Portal for the Commodore 64!
