Remember #Karnov? The 80s coin-op about a portly, topless Russian guy that you're not entirely convinced you didn't dream up when you were "figuring yourself out"? Well, it was real, and it had 8-bit ports.

All are plucky attempts that capture the arcade well. All have limitations, but all feel like Karnov.

#Amstrad is garish and slow, #Spectrum is surprisingly fast and colourful!

And, for some reason #C64 looks like a #Spectrum port! Block scroll and all!

A Speccy win!

As a matter of fact, on the C64 #ChaseH.Q. is the worst port of all as they simply converted it 1:1 to the C64, including the graphics. Half-assed approaches were not uncommon, another example is the C64 version of #Karnov

A little bit late for #Karnovember but I've finally got the kart. :)

The story of #Karnov executing God's will was added for the Famicom version, actually. In the original arcade game he was more of a Scrooge McDuck greedy treasure seeker type.

The Famicom version of #Karnov had cutscenes with a story and hints! I think they got removed from the international version because of the religious content: Karnov is a servant of God, here.

I made a longplay of the translation for #Karnovember.

The Karnov Inspector's "hide screen" mode lets you play a much more abstract version of Karnov.
