Jump Jet Harrier Mission | C64 Retro Gaming | Brothers In Arms Ep 10

Brothers Stephen and Anthony play one of the first C64 games they ever had - Jump Jet, also known as Harrier Mission (Anirog 1985). Along the way Anthony points everywhere except at the game, we investigate the Covox Voicemaster and discover it can only be used by Mike, sit with engines running burning fuel, drown, drown again, re-raise the plane, discus Anco software, get too many penalties and find out our pattern indicates 2-dimensional thinking.

Stephen and Anthony Caulfield were 6 and 10 years old when they got their hands on a Commodore 64, thanks to their dad briefly working for Music Sales, a company tasked with producing music software for the machine in the 1980's.

The 'Brothers in Arms' series sees Stephen and Anthony playing a collection of C64 games they (attempted) to play as kids to see if they can do any better as adults.

We're using The C64 Mini from Retro Games (not a sponsor) to emulate the original games you can see on the shelves behind us that we own from back in the day, and for speed have loaded them into The C64 Mini so we can play them easily.
