THE NEW ZEALAND STORY – Commodore 64 (1989) | Ocean’s classic kiwi platform rescue adventure

Описание: The New Zealand Story on Commodore 64 is a beloved arcade-style platformer originally published by Ocean in 1989, based on the hit Taito arcade game starring Tiki the Kiwi.

In this colourful scrolling-action adventure you control Tiki, a brave kiwi bird on a mission across New Zealand’s varied landscapes to rescue his kidnapped friends from fearsome foes and cage traps before time runs out. Gameplay balances classic jump-and-run precision with a quirky mix of weapons, tools and hidden paths, offering tight controls and clever level design that rewards exploration.

The C64 version is celebrated for its cheerful graphics, vibrant sprite work and standout music by Jonathan Dunn, which together evoke the arcade original despite the platform’s hardware limits. Reviews historically praised its addictive difficulty and faithful adaptation, while also noting tighter time limits and sprite quirks unique to the 8-bit rendition.

As a classic example of late-’80s home computer platformers, The New Zealand Story remains a staple of Commodore 64 retro gaming, showcasing how licensed arcade titles could shine on 8-bit machines and helping define the era’s spirited arcade conversions.
