What were your favorite COMMODORE 64 games?
I was really fond 'Law of the West' where you played this sherrif who could talk smack and shoot anyone, including the deputy. Anyone have any faves?

I'm really glad someone asked this, I never had a commodore 64 (before my time) but I always wanted to see if I could find one really cheap and see how it is, these recommendations are very helpful!!

Space Taxi
Montezuma's Revenge
Racing Destruction Set -- I'd love to see this one remade.
Beachhead II
Test Drive
Head over Heels
My mach 5 fast loader cartridge -- an essential.
Epyx games were consistently good, as were Electronic Arts and Accolade.

First of all, having the Epyx FastLoad cartridge... 
Choplifter
Bard's Tale
Raid on Bungeling Bay
Karateka
Lords of Conquest
M.U.L.E. (which is probably the one videogame I'd take to a deserted island if I could only take one)
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, but those are the ones that stand out the most...

I loved the Bard's Tale! A classic RPG in my book.
I also enjoyed Sherwood Forest, a text base adventure game. But this was on the Apple II computers.
Anyone know a website where I can d'load these games?

Got a Dreamcast? They have a C64 emulator that they are close to releasing.

All the Lucasarts games (Maniac Mansion, Zach McCracken & the Alien Mindbenders)
Most of the Infocom text adventures (Zork series, Hitchhikers Guide, etc...)
That game Airborne Rangers was cool too.

Anyone besides me have one of those Jiffy DOS upgrades? It upgraded the load time immensely...
I had this Mastertronics Water Polo game that took about 10 minutes to load the title page! :-(
Installed Jiffy Dos, and it went down to less than a minute! :-)
Anyone play Mars Saga by EA/Westwood?

The old 1541 drives were sloooooow. So slow in fact, I can remember playing games over and over with my friends because we simply didn't want to wait for a new game to load. Selecting a game to play was not taken lightly.
A fast loader cartridge took the times just below bearable.
