       | Let me mention some other impressive technical achievements on a
       | much undervalued Commodore 8-bit: the Commodore Plus4. Look at
       | this:

       | Is a game like this played in a C64 emulator then? If not what
       | makes it a C64 game?

         | I don't understand the question. The game can be played both on
         | an emulator and on real hardware.

         | I loaded the page and started watching the video immediately,
         | wondering why I should care about it. Run of the mill
         | platformer, seemed like graphics and animations were chosen for
         | style reasons, like thousands of other games out there.
         | 
         | Frankly, I wasn't impressed.
         | 
         | It wasn't until I came back to the comments here until I found
         | out it's a C64 game. Now I'm incredibly impressed. Mind blowing
         | to me now. Holy cow.

         | You should see the port of Eye of the Beholder for C64/128 that
         | shipped November 2022. It's unbelievable. (Worked on, off and
         | on, across 16 years.)
