Diese Folge wird zwar nicht vom BMWi, also dem Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft präsentiert, allerdings hat diese Behörde sehr viel mit dem Spiel von heute zu tun. Das BMWi hat nämlich "Energie-Manager" in Auftrag gegeben!

RetroKork - Pinball Construction Set
In this episode of RetroKork, I'm again looking at a Construction Set "Software Toy" - actually, the first of this subgenre: Pinball Construction Set (in my case the Commodore 64 version)

RetroKork Deutsch - Airline (Ariolasoft)
Heute geht's hoch in die Lüfte... zumindest für die Flugzeuge. Wir hingegen bleiben wohl eher auf dem Boden der Tatsachen und spielen "Airline" von Ariolasoft.

RetroKork - Night Driver
There is a lot I could say about this episode - besides what it's about - but if I told you everything, you wouldn't be surprised by me filming this one kind of on location.... Why only kind of? Because I'm not driving around while talking about "Night Driver".

RetroKork Deutsch - Börsenspiele
Wie ich ja vor zwei Wochen angedroht habe, geht's heute um die Börse... Keine Angst, es geht nicht an eure Geldbörse, sondern um Börsenspiele - für den C64.

RetroKork - Neuromancer
What happens when you take a book, use the setting and some characters and create a story of your own in a game? Well, you may get "Neuromancer".

RetroKork Deutsch - 5 mal 5
Heute einmal wieder eine Computerumsetzung einer Spielshow. Diesmal geht's um die C64-Fassung von 5 mal 5 - oder wie's international bekannter ist: "Lingo": Eine Kombination aus Worträtsel und... Bingo. (Allerdings ohne Bingo-Bär, die Show lief ja nicht auf öffentlich-rechtlichen Sendern.)

RetroKork - The Train: Escape to Normandy
In this episode, I'm taking a look at a game that takes "rail shooting" to its logical conclusion: You're on a train, firing guns. Oh, you also have to drive the train to escape to Normandy.

RetroKork Deutsch - Wahn
Heute geht's um ein Spiel, das in mir Erinnerungen an ein anderes Spiel weckt. Und das Spielprinzip erinnert mich an ein anderes Spiel.

RetroKork - Teenage Mutant Ninja (or Hero) Turtles
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was a staple of many people's childhood, including video games (like the ones for the NES).
But did you know that the Turtles also were the topic of two games on the Commodore 64?

RetroKork Deutsch - Was' Dat Denn
"Was' Dat Denn" - ein Spiel, bei dem jede Beschreibung quergedacht ist. Oder längs, je nachdem, wie man gerade rumsteht.

RetroKork - DuckTales: The Quest For Gold
Today I'm looking at DuckTales. No, it's not the famous NES (and GameBoy) version, but a game created in-house by Disney for many computers of its day - including (how else could I talk about it?) the Commodore 64.

RetroKork Deutsch - Talk To Me
Was lange währt, wird endlich gut - heißt es zumindest. Heute begeben wir uns (zwei Wochen verspätet) auf die Fährte des Programms "Talk To Me" für den C64.

RetroKork - Airline
Today on RetroKork, we'll be back in the air... or maybe we won't. But at least in the context of today's game, we could (hypothetically) control the sky - by running an airline.

RetroKork Deutsch - Verkehrsadventure: Du und Dein Auto
Du und Dein Auto... Klingt ja eher wie ein Auto-Magazin, ist aber ein "Verkehrsadventure". Was das heißt? Vermutlich nicht das, was jeder erwarten würde.

RetroKork - Airport '94
Well, this is a game I was not really aware of before I played it. So, instead of nostalgia goggles, I'll probably have to wear aviator goggles, right?

RetroKork Deutsch - Asterix und Obelix
Nach der letzten deutschsprachigen Folge (und der Frustration über den Parser in dem Spiel) hier erneut ein Text-Grafik-Adventure. Diesmal sind Asterix und Obelix auf einer Reise. Nach Mesopotamien.

RetroKork - Ski or Die
Today I look at the successor to last episode's title "Skate Or Die": Ski Or Die (or is it "Ski or Die", like I put in the episode title? I don't know).
Sunday, August 10, 2014
RetroKork Deutsch - Die Unendliche Geschichte
Maurer Software: Klingt ja eher nach einer Firma, die Programme für Bauunternehmer produziert. Das stimmt allerdings nicht, denn Herr Maurer hat eine Computer-Umsetzung des Buches "Die Unendliche Geschichte" programmiert.

RetroKork - Skate or Die
The 1980s were the one of the high times for Breakdancing (though that's not today's topic as I covered that already) and - as this episode's title already suggests - Skateboarding.
I talk about Electronic Arts' game on the latter.

BroCon 2014 - A Vlog
As you can tell, this is me talking about BroCon 2014 (July 18-20 2014) in multiple parts, all of them recorded freehand (and therefore looking like shakycam, though somewhat subdued in post-production) in Limerick.
And yes, I know that Diamanda Hagan has done her Vlog in a similiar fashion, but that’s pure coincidence.

RetroKork Deutsch - Punkt Punkt Punkt
Mike Krüger ist nicht nur Komiker, sondern er war auch der Showmaster einer recht erfolglosen Spielshow. nein, ich rede nicht von "4 gegen Willi" (die Show war ein Stück weit erfolgreich), sondern von "Punkt Punkt Punkt" - der Show, die PCSL zu einem Computerspiel machte.

RetroKork - Alter Ego
Today I take a look at a somewhat introspective game, leading the life of a virtual person in Alter Ego and talking about it (the game, not that life. I'm not a philosopher.)
(Sorry about the delays in the video showing up online)

RetroKork Deutsch - Wetten Dass..?
Im Jahr 1991 bekam die Firma PCSL die Rechte an einer Computerspielfassung der Samstagabendshow "Wetten Dass..?"

RetroKork - Aliens: The Computer Game(s)
Today, we encounter Aliens. Xenomorphs. Those things from the movie "Aliens", but in two different games. And both games are licensed Aliens games!
(Neither of them is "Colonial Marines". Fortunately.)

Announcement: DerKork goes to BroCon 2014
As you can tell from the title of this post,
I’ll be at BroCon 2014 in two and a half weeks. If you’re going to go
there, the end of the video may be a bit useful to you since BroCon isn’t
taking place at exactly the same place as last year.
If you want to get additional information about BroCon 2014 and the events taking place, go to http://www.brocon.info

RetroKork Deutsch - Die Urkunde: Die Erbschaft 2
Nachdem wir letztes Mal uns Infogrames' Spiel "Die Erbschaft" angeschaut haben, ist heute der direkte Nachfolger dran.... der Nachfolger des Spiels, mein ich natürlich.

RetroKork - Kennedy Approach
Today we're looking at a game where you take the job of an Air Traffic Controller in various places in the USA.

RetroKork Deutsch - Die Erbschaft
Heute spreche ich über "Die Erbschaft", ein Adventure von Infogrames. Ich glaube aber nicht, dass Erbschaften so funktionieren...

RetroKork - Airwolf
Today we take a look at a high tech helicopter: Airwolf. Or to be exact "Airwolf" for the Commodore 64.
And we look at its sequel as well. Yup, there's a sequel game - "Airwolf 2".

RetroKork Deutsch - Hopp oder Top
Heute reden wir über eine Spielshow... nein, über das Spiel zu einer Spielshow... naja, jedenfalls, heute geht's um "Hopp oder Top" in der Computerspielfassung für den C64.

RetroKork - Wrestling games
Brother, this is the time and date where I speak about Wrestling games for the Commodore 64.

Nein, ich hab nicht den Namen des Spiels vergessen. Heute geht's um ein Spiel, das auf einer Spielshow aus meiner Jugend basiert: Dingsda mit... Max Redner?

RetroKork - (Buzz Aldrin's) Race Into Space
In today's RetroKork episode, the hundredth, we leave the Commodore 64 behind a bit as we look at "Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space" - or to be exact: The freeware port for modern OS', which is just called "Race Into Space".

RetroKork Deutsch - Shopping AG
Shoppen.... Man kann Photoshoppen, Teleshoppen... oder ganz klassisch einkaufen gehen. Und wie das von der anderen Seite aussehen kann (also als Einzelhandel), das zeigt (in gewisser Weise) "Shopping AG" für den 64er.

RetroKork - Space Shuttle: A Journey Into Space
Today, I'll talk about one of the first simulations of the Space Shuttle for the Commodore 64. Is it good? Is it bad? Well, it is special, that much I can tell you already.

untitled - the cooking show
Today I'm doing something different from my usual videos: Cooking. And of course I had to do something unusual: Switching a german fast food staple around.
Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
Thanks to Diamanda Hagan and The Omega Geek (because they kind of gave me the idea for it - even though they didn't know)
And yes, it's my first curry... that's why this video is kind of late. I was scared of making terrible food.

RetroKork Deutsch - Robox
"Robox".... klingt ja eher wie ein Blox- oder vielleicht Tetris-Klon, ist aber ein Adventure-Spiel, das in der Zukunft spielt.

RetroKork - Apollo 18: Mission to the Moon
Even though one may think so by the title "Apollo 18", this game has nothing to do with the 2011 movie.
I mean, it's for the Commodore 64 - and it bases itself on a typical mission to the moon, not some secret lunar landing.

RetroKork Deutsch - Bürgermeister
Heute geht's um ein Spiel, das die Idee hinter Kaiser nimmt und auf eine kleinere Fläche reduziert. Ich spreche natürlich von "Bürgermeister" - steht ja auch im Titel der Folge.
Sunday, March 30, 2014
RetroKork - ThunderCats
ThunderCats are on the loose - even on the Commodore 64. Yes, there was a Commodore 64 game on Lion-O and his friends... Though in the game, you don't get to see 80's Snarf.
Sunday, March 23, 2014
RetroKork Deutsch - Winzer
Auch wenn's immer heißt "Wein, Weib und Gesang", erspar ich euch mal den Gesang - und Weib macht auch keinen Sinn... jedenfalls nicht, wenn's um "Winzer" für den Commodore 64 geht.

RetroKork - Transformers
Transformers - Robots in Disguise... and in the eighties, they were on the Commodore 64 for two games.

RetroKork Deutsch - Software Manager
Heute geht's um Software und Management. Aber dennoch ist das Spiel heute nicht Game Dev Tycoon, sondern wie schon im Titel steht, Software Manager.

RetroKork - Danger Mouse
He's the greatest, he's fantastic... he's one of my childhood heroes. And he's a character that got licensed Commodore 64 games. I'm speaking of Danger Mouse, of course.

RetroKork Deutsch - Das DFÜ-Adventure
Heute geht's wieder in die Welt der Hacker... naja, in gewisser Weise. Wir betreten Mailboxen, schnüffeln herum und versuchen uns im Fortschritt beim DFÜ-Adventure.

RetroKork - Rockstar Ate My Hamster.
This here is a special game to me. Not because it is great (which it is), but because it is part of an underrated genre of business simulations: Music Business Sims. I am of course talking about Rockstar (or Rock Star) ate my Hamster - for the Commodore 64 in my case.

RetroKork Deutsch - Projekt Prometheus
Prometheus brachte den Menschen das Feuer... doch was bringt das Adventure "Projekt Prometheus" den Besitzern eines C64?

RetroKork - 221B Baker Street
Today we take a look at a video game adaption of a board game. A board game about murder mysteries... at least in a way. Namely: "221B Baker Street".

Heute ist das Thema die hohe See und der Handel... naja, jedenfalls innerhalb des Spiels. Ich spreche nämlich über "Reederei".

RetroKork Deutsch - Rex I
Heute spreche ich über Rex I, einen Kaiser-Klon für 64er.
Bringt es das Genre zu neuen kaiserlichen Höhen - oder landet es im Kerker der Bugs und Unspielbarkeit?

RetroKork - MULE
Today we look at one of the classics of computer gaming: M.U.L.E. (Or MULE, Mule or "That game with the robots that look like those walkers from Star Wars, but totally are not".)
