Sidearms has been around longer than I realized.

I remember playing Sidearms at a local convenience store when I was a kid, a few years before the TG16 was launched in the US. But I had no idea it was on the C64 as well. I found this while going through a big lot of stuff I recently picked up.

Pretty cool. I like Sidearms.

Heh, neat. How's it compare to the Turbob version?

Oh that I don't know. It is just the manual unfortunately.
Maybe I'll stick it with my PCE version of Sidearms I have since it is the hucard only.

really cool. would love to see it in action.
looks like the 5.25 floppy is asking ~$100 for current active listings

It was a 1986 arcade title. It hit C64 only a year before the Turbo.

Oh, well damn.
I was thinking it was earlier. I keep forgetting the C64 ran games into the 90s.

Funny I just bought sidearms special for cheap. Which is weird getting use to the controls.
