Bop’n Wrestle (1986): Only Pro Commodore Users Knew This!


Description

(Copy and paste this into the Description box).


They say some things are better left in the 80s… but they clearly never stepped into the ring. 🤼‍♂️💥


We were the first generation of gamers, and if you owned a Commodore 128, you knew the ritual. 90% of the time, we just typed 'GO 64' to get back to the games we loved.


But if you were a real power user, you didn't type out "LOAD." You used the secret L-Shift-O shortcut to get that 1571 drive spinning immediately.


I'm unboxing and playing the 1986 Mindscape classic Bop’n Wrestle. From the atomic drops to that legendary SID chip soundtrack, this is pure 8-bit adrenaline.


The Question:

What was your go-to Commodore keyboard shortcut? Let's see who the real power users are in the comments! 👇

👇 ABOUT FLOPPY DEEP DIVE 👇

Hey, it's Tom from Texas! Floppy Deep Dive is dedicated to Real Hardware and Real Nostalgia. No emulators. No filters. Just the crackle of the CRT and the mechanical grind of the disk drive.


I make these videos for the folks who spent Saturdays swapping floppies and still get chills when the SID chip kicks in. We dive deep into the Golden Age of PC gaming, reignite the classic 8-bit wars (C64 vs Atari!), and hunt down the rarest software on earth. Whether you're Team Commodore, Team Atari, or just miss the 90s, you're in the right place.


The Mission: Preserving the sights, sounds, and "craptacular" quirks of classic computing before they fade away.


🕹️ What You'll Find Here:


The Hardware: Commodore 64, Atari 800XL, Amiga, 486 PCs, and more.


The Wars: C64 vs Atari/NES comparisons (Let the debate begin!).


The Hunt: Deep dives into mysterious floppies and forgotten games.
