It's one of the best and simple Commodore 64 / C128 games that ever existed, I'm only 20 years old, and have been playing it for years.
Although the graphics are so 80's that it makes you feel like you've borrowed a TARDIS and gone back in time, the game, in all it's simplicity and lack of major plot line makes up for it all.
The lack of plotline, however, is not a bad thing We live in a world now where pointless games don't take off, where the plots make up a lot of the plot and get us more information on characters who we feel the need to connect with these days and the ability to be made in to a movie, is almost a must.
Originally released by firebird, Booty first took the stage in 1984. You play the part of a young cabin boy, who explores the hold, and does very little, while wandering apparently aimlessly around a pirate ship finding colored keys to open corresponding colored doors, we are to find the booty, explaining the obvious title.
I once played this game, just after moving house in 1994, I was 5 years old and in love with the commodore 64, and Booty was, without doubt, my personal favorite. However, my family only had a little bit of money so we had two televisions, one in full color, which was in the living room, and the other went in my parent’s bedroom with the games consoles
attached. Nice, you may think, at least I could play them, right? Except that most of the games were too complex for my 5 year old brain and my father had rendered playing Booty nearly impossible by linking the console to a black and white television.
I recommend this to you and your partner, and your parents, and even your kids.
