I confess always had a bit of a soft spot for The Blues Brothers on the Amiga. It was one of Titus Software's better games on the platform which, given the publisher's reputation, was quite a low watermark to begin with.
The objective is to help Jake and Elwood find the musical instruments and pieces of equipment needed to perform at their sell-out gig. The gear has been strewn around the local municipality, shopping centre and building sites, and you'll need to hunt high and low, dealing with militant cops, construction workers and seniors piloting runaway shopping carts.
When it comes to the C64 version, I wasn't really holding my breath, but I was genuinely surprised at how well this conversion turned out. Titus outsourced development to CTA Developments and 221b Software developments, which proved to be a prudent move. The result is a really fun platform game containing practically all the features and levels of the 16-bit version.
The only complaint I have about the game is, perhaps ironically, the music. Certain notes sound off-key and a little weird, which is a shame, considering how great the Amiga tunes were.
This shouldn't deter you, however. The game is still good fun and worth a play, regardless of the slightly wonky tunes.
Developer: CTA Developments & 221b Software Developments
