Ikari Warriors | C64 Retro Gaming | Brothers In Arms Ep 11

Brothers Stephen and Anthony play Ikari Warriors (Europe C64 Version, Elite 1988). Along the way they watch it loading for a very long time, revel in bare-chested machine gunning, reveal that the only way to pull the pin on a grenade is with your teeth, find out what an Ikari Warrior actually is, talk about Martin Galway Vs Rob Hubbard in the C64 music wars and get stuck behind a leaf before dissolving away completely.

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.
