Best Commodore 64 games

[nawoa]

IMHO the C64 version of M.U.L.E. was the best one.

 

[Eisner]

One of my favorite C-64 games is Below the Root.


An excellent adventure game with a large world both above and below ground to explore. Great character movements and story line.

Currently shuffling my way through Atomix. It's basically a block shuffling game, but I'm finding it quite compelling and well designed. The whole thing is very polished for it's time!

I'd like to add a few to the list:


Mail Order Monsters


Archon


Archon II - Adept


Elite


Wasteland


AD&D Pool of Radiance (and the rest of the "gold box" series)


BC II - Grog's Revenge


Frankie Goes to Hollywood


Raid on Bungeling Bay


Ultima (III & IV being personal favorites)


Karateka


Defender of the Crown


Starpost


Several of my favorites were already listed by others (Below the Root, Parallax, Raid Over Moscow, Ghostbusters, Bruce Lee, M.U.L.E., Realm of Impossibility, Beach Head I & II... SO many great games on the C64!

All of the above

Can't believe nobody has mentioned The Last Ninja series, Creatures 1 & 2, Retrograde, or IK+


Also love the original Football Manager, despite not being the slightest bit interested in football.


I've not tried it on the Pandora yet, but this - http://noname.c64.org/mood/ - was an incredible feat

Rick Dangerous, Rick Dangerous II

Way late with my reply, but I loved "Rick Dangerous". Nothing to do with attending the launch party for the game at Warwick Castle which was the one and only time I saw a benefit from working in a computer retail shop!

I think my favorites on C64 have not been mentioned here:

• The Sacred Armour of Antiriad
  
• Dragon's Lair II
  

Sorry, can't post images because most of the games sites are banned at my work network :angry:

C64 was, and will probably always remain my favourite computer system. It is indeed why I wanted a Pandora, a portable C64 is a childhood dream, now it's come true. Here's some games I really think are worth checking out, in no particular order:


Buggy Boy


Batman


Turbocharge


Dizzy (Yolkfolk is a good one to start with, Magicland is the best)


Spindizzy


Tilt (codemasters, once you get used to playing it's addictive)


Project Firestart


Bubble Bobble


Rainbow Islands


Creatures


Creatures II


Mayhem in Monsterland (over rated, but still great)


Sensitive (A PD game, some good clones on the Plus4 machine too)


Leaderboard Golf


IK+


Paradroid


Pitfall 2


The Sentinel


Newcomer Enhanced (change drive settings to get it working)


Live and Let Die (buggyboy in a boat)


Pang


Lode Runner


Space Rogue


Midnight Resistance


Krackout


Racing Destruction Set


X-Out


Mercenary


OK, there should be at least 3 games out of that lot to keep you occupied for a while.

 

[Prometheus]

Magicland is the best

You, sir, have good taste. That is indeed a fantastic game, and easily the best in the series.

 

[CAZMIESTER]

Ok heres my top 10


1)Delta easily the best shooter on the 64.


2)Wizball this really needs a proper sequel


3)Beachhead brilliant for its time


4)Bubble bobble best arcade conversion ever


5)Katakis second to delta on the shooters


6)Leaderboard uped the stakes as far as sports games went


7)Last ninja way ahead of its time


8)International Karate beter than WOTEF


9)Raid over Moscow Access should have stuck to original games


10)Mega Appocalypse manic brill cc remix by hubbard

Just a question :


I found this vid here

I know the music is from Rob Hubbard "Lightforce" on C64, but does anybody know what version it is ? It seems like cover.


Thanx.

My 2 cents:


Park Patrol





Bounty Bob Strikes Back!





Dropzone

YES!!! Thank you so much, I've been looking for this for YEARS! But i had absolutely no idea what it was called or how to describe it in a way anybody understood which game I meant... Now I can *finally* play it again and maybe finish it...


Heh, as I was about 6 years old when I played C64 games there are a lot of games I'm looking for for which I don't know the name, and the screenshots on e.g. lemon64 don't always help...
