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?

Don't know if the British C64 had different games to the US ones, but my favorites were Strider, Operation Wolf, and Bad Dudes

AgtFox 10-26-01 12:32 PM

Archon and Summer and Winter Games by EA. I'm sure there's others, but those come to mind quickly.

Goblincat 10-26-01 12:32 PM

Wasteland
Might & Magic I & II
Bard's Tale I & II
Pool of Radiance
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Secret of the Silver Blades
Pools of Darkness
Hardball (the first one)
Bruce Lee
Impossible Mission
California Games
Racing Destruction
Archon
ArcticFox

I also had lots of fun with a cartridge, "Maze Master".

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!!

einTier 10-26-01 02:35 PM

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.

Aghama 10-26-01 03:00 PM

Burning Rubber
Montezuma's Revenge
Lode Runner
Archon
HHGTTG

<strike>Some really cool isometric EA game that I can't recall the name of.</strike>
Realm of Impossibility

DavePack 10-26-01 03:15 PM

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...

Nosebleed 10-26-01 04:09 PM

Bump 'n' Jump
Cobra
Pitfall
Rags To Riches

AmazingColossalPumaMan 10-26-01 05:08 PM

Mail Order Monsters was a sweet game. Now there's something they should remake or sequelize.

Centurion 10-26-01 05:14 PM

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.

JNielsen 10-26-01 08:47 PM

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.

JuryDuty 10-27-01 12:39 AM

Bruce Lee
Infocom Adventures
and best of all... Impossible Mission!

If? They have a demo version out already. They need to make sure 95% of the games are fully functioning before a full release. I say within a month or so.

Hell, they got Atari, ColecoVision, Nintendo, Genesis, Neo Geo, Game Boy, Mame, Super Nintendo, Sega Master System, MSX, and Spectrum already :D

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?

einTier 10-29-01 12:00 AM

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.

jhiter24 10-29-01 12:36 AM

Jordan vs Bird............gotta love the slam dunk contest and three point. Hell they still haven't been able to match this in a basketball game
