Review - Shadow of the Beast not only came out on C64, but it also used the esoteric cart format!

Instant loading time is something C64 users really weren't used to and this game is probably one of the only killer app for the C64 GS, the ill fated C64-based console.

This port is astounding. There are several layers of parallax scolling (!) and gameplay has been tweaked a bit compared to the Amiga version.

To see my C64 pushed to this extreme almost brings a little nostalgic tear to my eyes!

NB: Even if the game is on Cart, when big bosses show up, the screen will freeze for a couple of seconds so I guess the game is not really instant loading, is it? ;)

Bottom line: A showcase of the potential of the C-64 graphical capabilities....8/10
